Obama misses DAR's Continental Congress
Conservative Woman ^ | 11-04-2009 | Julie Smith

Not something that would make national headlines, but did not miss a stunned audience, President Barack Obama became the first American president in 118 years to abstain from the same long tradition of addressing the Daughters Of the American Revolution (DAR) Continental Congress, named after the governing body of the American Colonies during the American Revolution.

Acts like one, and yet will complain if called one.

Common obscenity displaying itself.

It's possible of course, but there's also this bit of math fun:

This diagram works for most people, but not for folks with Down's Syndrome and a few other conditions. F is for father, M for mother; each of us has up to 64 great-great-great-great-grandcestors; no more than 46 of them has had even one chromosome pair reach you; even with the occasional crossing stream (I don't have even one such pair in my known ancestors, but some of my cousins do) there's no more than 46, and with crossing streams, could be less.

“...they are NOT all white.”

And they are NOT all Conservative. I now some very active (younger) DARs who are huge Obama supporters.

Fact is, Obama himself is eligible for SAR membership. His daughters when they reach 18 will be eligible for DAR. Today they are eligible for C.A.R. I don’t see any application papers being filled out in the near future, tho.

THANKS -- I love seeing stuff like that, perhaps with a good long night's sleep and several strong cups of coffee in the morning, I will understand that fascinating concept.

I know that somewhere on ancestry.com there was a discussion about how you have no more in common with your (I think) ggggg grandparents than with utter strangers. I'm unsure, my memory is unclear on how many "greats" - it was somewhere aroung 5 or 6, I think.

Thanks for sharing the diagram, I'll examine it tomorrow again.

don’t know how, don’t know when...

The 'how' comes naturally , the 'when' is a bit more complicated.... desirability, opportunity, pheromes and hormones, discovery and shotguns.
