These Genealogical studies are getting ridiculous

Obama related to Pitt, Clinton to Jolie - Yahoo! News


Obama has a prolific presidential lineage that features Democrats and Republicans. His distant cousins include President George W. Bush and his father, George H.W. Bush, Gerald Ford, Lyndon Johnson, Harry S. Truman and James Madison. Other Obama cousins include Vice President Dick Cheney, British Prime Minister Sir Winston Churchill and Civil War General Robert E. Lee.

I think second cousin is about as far as we really need to count. Tracing people back to a specific ancestor is a valid form of family history, but to push it forward and claim you are related to someone famous today because we share the same common ancestor hundreds of years ago is trying to swim in a rather large gene pool!

I must confess though, if I was somehow related to James Madison - even so distant - I would be boasting about it (James Madison > Brad Pitt)
