Obamas mother, Stanley Ann Dunham, may be descendant of a black slave

New research has uncovered surprising findings about President Obamas ancestry.
Researchers at Ancestry.com have discovered that his lineage does include at least one black slave but not on his Kenyan fathers side. Obamas white mother is most likely a direct descendant of one of the first documented African slaves in the United States, said the team of genealogists.
Its team, while lacking definitive proof, said its research strongly suggests Obamas family tree on his mothers side stretches back nearly four centuries to a slave in colonial Virginia named John Punch.
In 1640, John Punch, an African, was a servant in Virginia who escaped, was caught and sentenced to remain enslaved to his master for life.
The Ancestry.com team said records suggested that Punch fathered children with a white woman, who passed her free status to those children, giving rise to a family of a slightly different surname, the Bunches. The researchers said over time, as the Bunches continued to marry, they became prominent landowners in colonial Virginia and were known as white.

I’ll bet if they went even further back in the begats, he’d be related to Mohammed....and even further back, I’m quite sure it would be Adam himself. Wow. Amazing where an exponential doubling function gets you.....lotsa possibilities, huh, Zero?
Using the one drop rule, Obama’s mama’s race should have been coded as Negro on his long-from birth certificate. Now Obama can really claim some street cred with the African-American community.
