America's Family Tree Thanks to the intrepid sleuthing of the New England Historic Genealogical Society, today the AP reported that Barack Obama is distantly related to the Bushes, the Cheneys, and Robert E Lee, mostly via people that died shortly after England begat the colonies.

Hilary Clinton, whose family functions are apparently more fun, counts Madonna, Camilla Parker-Bowles, and Jack Kerouac among her kin.
