I forget the reference, but recall reading that at least 1/4 - 1/3 POTUSes (POTI?
) are related to English royalty.
I also read an article on the web that Obama is not the truely first Afro American president, as at least 8 previous presidents had an Afro American ancestor. But as with Jorge, the PC crowd doesn't acknowledge such.
