Barack Obama's Slave Ancestry Discovered By Researchers

President Obama's ancestry has always been a hot topic. Between the birther debates that the Supreme Court dismissed last month to the country's differing opinions about his race, the commander-in-chief's biological roots have long been a hot-button issue.

But the most recent discovery into the president's complicated genealogy will likely fuel even more chatter.

But ....then again...whats the difference? Both care very little about letting facts get in the way of a good story.

I think this comment from that article sums this up nicely:
"Lacking definitive proof"...well there's the big issue. Without proof, this is just a marketing ploy for Ancestry.com and has little to do with the President.
I could claim I'm descended from Queen Elizabeth I...from her illegitimate son...of course there's no definitive proof...which is pretty much the same as making it up.
