No, I am not kidding. If you need a sign of bipartisanship, here it is...
The Obamas will have to make room for three new guests at the Thanksgiving table: the President's cousins Sarah Palin, Rush Limbaugh, and George W. Bush. Surprise!
From TIME.com:
"According to genealogy site Ancestry.com, President Obama and Sarah Palin are tenth cousins, through ancestor John Smith. He's also tenth cousins with Rush Limbaugh through ancestor Richmond Terrell. And Obama, Palin and President George W. Bush are all related through Samuel Hinckley. If it makes Obama feel any better, he's also related to Brad Pitt and Warren Buffett."
Watch a video for full details on this family tree madness from ABC News.
"If what's wrong with our political process is congenital, then perhaps one day it can be cured at birth."
