Do you have a cite for that? It certainly helps to explain his affinity for "Sheets" Byrd.

"Senator Obama is a direct descendant of Jefferson Davis."



Source?

I'm particularly skeptical because his mother's family was from Kansas, not from the South (and, of course, his father was from Kenya).

Sorry I have a better chance of being a direct descendant since my great grandfather came from Mississippi ( I believe that is where Jeff Davis lived after the war). I doubt it though.
