Genealogy of VP Richard B. Cheney and Senator Barack Obama?

Some poster earlier indicated by their posting that these two men are related. Anyone have the real facts? By the way, I heard that someone did the genealogy behind the Queen of England and found that she is part-Chinese from a liaison almost three thousand years ago. From what I can see these two postings, mentioned above, are probably true. Anyone has the facts behind this?

1. Some days, news is just plain bizarre: WASHINGTON (CNN) – Go back far enough, the saying goes, and everyone's related. But could it be possible that Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama and Vice President Dick Cheney share a common ancestor? Cheney's wife Lynne says yes. In an interview on MSNBC Tuesday afternoon, Mrs. Cheney said that in the course of researching her husband's genealogy for her new book, "Blue Skies, No Fences," she discovered that the two public figures share an ancestor eight generations ago. "Think about this," Mrs. Cheney said. "This is such an amazing American story that one ancestor, a man that came to Maryland, could be responsible down the family line for lives that have taken such different and varied paths as Dick's and Barack Obama's."

2. If you go back far enough in time, all humans are related to each other. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Most_recent_common_ancestor What's more, if you subscribe to the evolution theory, the same holds true to every species on this planet. For example, humans and chimps had a common ancestor 6 million years ago. Humans and dogs had a common ancestor 85 million years ago. Humans and dinosaurs, 300mya. Etc....
3. I heard a blurb on the news about this. If you trust the news, then perhaps. What difference would it make? It is interesting.. but really, does it matter? We are all a bunch of inbred freaks in this world at some distant level.
4. There was a news article in Yahoo yesterday. It should be easy to find. Basically according the Lynn Cheney, the two men have a common ancestor dating back to the 1700's.
5. Monsters do not have Genealogy they have hate and Carma
6. No please. I think your questions on China and America need specialists in Politics and also well versed in History, as well one who can predict future events too.
7. I find it exceptionally difficult to believe that anyone can trace the Queen of Anywhere's genealogy back 1,000 years BC. I think that might be a fairytale.
