Brad Pitt & Barack Obama are Related

The View gals asked Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama this morning to help clear up the rumors that he’s related to Brad Pitt.

“I guess we are ninth cousins something removed or something,” Barack said.

Jokingly he added, “I think he got the better looking side of the gene pool.”

Barbara Walters couldn’t agree more: “We thought you were very sexy looking (applause). Don’t you think so? (to audience)”

Apparently, the other Democratic presidential candidate, Hillary Clinton, is cousins with Pitt’s partner, Angelina Jolie, twice removed.

Um, yeah. Just so you know! Watch the clip of Barack on The View here.

Don’t vote Obama because if you do John McCain will be the next President of the United States. Obama is as phony as they get.

Hello. Obama’s mother was white. The New England Historic Genealogical Society did a family tree on him.
Pitt was found to be a ninth cousin linked back to Edwin Hickman, who died in Virginia in 1769:

” Pitt was found to be a ninth cousin linked back to Edwin Hickman, who died in Virginia in 1769.”

“Obama, whose mother was white and from Kansas, is also linked to British Prime Minister Sir Winston Churchill. It was previously reported that he is also a distant cousin of Vice President **** Cheney.

“Obama’s maternal ancestry includes the mid-Atlantic States and the South,” said Christopher Child, a genealogist with NEHGC that dates back to
1845 and describes itself as the United States’ oldest and largest non-profit genealogical organization.

Meanwhile Senator Clinton and Jolie are ninth cousins twice removed linked by Jean Cusson of St. Sulpice, Quebec, who died in 1718.”

Why do people think Obama and Brad aren’t related, because Obama is black? Obama is a bi-racial person. He’s related to Brad on his mother’s side. FFS his father was a black man from Kenya. Grow up people
