I’m no genealogist but the Internet is abuzz with claims that you can trace back Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s family trees to discover an interesting political connection. According to genealogists, Brad is related to Barack Obama while supposedly Angelina is related to Hillary Clinton.
Clinton is of French-Canadian descent and is related to Angie as a ninth cousin, twice removed. Their connection is through Jean Cusson who died in 1718 in St. Sulpice, Quebec. Meanwhile, Obama and Brad are also ninth cousins, and it’s through Edwin Hickman, who died in 1769 in Virginia.
(It actually turns out that both presidential candidates have a great deal of interesting relatives if you’re into that kind of thing.

I don’t think Angie and Brad really care. They’re most likely cracking up right now;

I find this amusing. If true, and if this group is authentic and from looking at their credentials, they are, it just shows that we as a people are closer than you might think.
As for blood, it means that Shiloh and the newest Jolie-Pitt(s) are related to both Obama and Clinton. I wonder if they will both go after Shiloh’s vote so they can influence her parents!!

Who cares if BP is related to Obama – it’s critically important that we help him get voted into office!!! We need to regain our respect around the world, and Obama is a light being willing to take the very difficult job of president of this country…he will bring us light!

I don’t know what to believe. I really don’t care much about politics, I do vote though. If they are related in some ways, I don’t think they will cast their votes because of their relationships but rather to their political views. I’m glad, Brad & Angie didn’t endorse any of the candidates. God bless the Jolie-Pitt’s.

Sherry your topic made it to international news today( NBC ).They were talking about how Brad & Angie related to Obama & Hillary. So it must be really true. Hillary is also related to Celine Dion. How weird is that? I guess, in some ways we are all related. Peace & blessings to all.

happyforthem: Even though Obama seems like a nice guy, we really don’t need a member of a cult into the oval office!

Alayna: Are you saying Obama belongs to a cult? If so that was uncalled for and not true, you need to listen to what the man says and then give an informed opinon. I belong to a Congregational Church of Christ in Houston, I do not consider myself belonging to a cult. Neither do thousands of other members around this country.

Listening to Obama is like making sense of all the distortion to which we’ve become accustomed… I for one am looking for real change and enlisting the help of the young vote. We are in the 21st century, it’s time to wake up and take more responsibility for our future…Obama is our man! BTW, I seem to remember BP was considering making an endorsement for Obama.

I’m an English person but from what i’ve seen on the news and read etc. i would really like Obama to win..he seems like a strong and capable man. As for the relation..i don’t think it will influence Brad and Ange’s vote..i guess they’ll vote for who they think is worthy.. It’s strange if it’s true though!

As much as everyone like Obama, (and he seems like a capable person). You need to take a closer look at where he has won against Hillary. He has won in the states that usually vote Republican, where as Hillary has won in the states that vote Democratic. When you take this into a larger picture of the presidential race, this could create more of a division of the votes and the Republicans could be back in office. So you chose do you want Hillary, Obama, or the Republicans. I also believe Obama would have a harder time on the world stage than Hillary. Domestically he would do fine but on the world stage he would struggle. You guys have a difficult decision to make, make sure you research all aspects of what these 3 people stand for and make the best choice for the US and the world. Do not rely on the media to make your decision they lie and makeup the stories that will sell the best.

Very thoughtful post Kim. Thank you
I am completely jaded about politics and racism, and sexism. Living in NY has not helped my cynicism, given the latest behavior by the Governor’s past and present) I am thinking that if Obama wins the Democratic nomination, many people will vote McCain (in those republican strongholds). Obama could win if the 18-35 yr old’s (all races) get out and vote. Don’t know if I believe that these people are related, or that it matters if they are.

Kim;
I don’t see how he would struggle on the world stage. He is an articulate and well educated man. Also with as much ‘credible’ experience as Sen Clinton (if you discount her First Lady days), because the Presidency wasn’t her experience. It was her husbands.
But seriously this report is so old, and I can’t believe that even CNN covered it yesterday. However they didn’t see fit to cover Angie’s Op’ed in the Washington Post.
