Researchers claim that a brutal slave-trader who brought captive slaves from West Africa to Colonial America is the same man whose descendants produced two U.S. presidents. George W. Bush and his father, George H.W. Bush.
Historians already knew that the Bush family was directly connected to Thomas Walker, yet they were unable to figure out which was the ancestor of the Bush's.
Records show there was a Thomas Walker who was a merchant from Baltimore who was in Great Britain in 1758.
Archives also show Thomas Walker was a slave merchant and captain who bought and sold West African slaves in the late 1700s.
However, it was only recently that a retired genealogist and a historian in Sierra Leone finally figured out the two Thomas Walkers are actually the same person.

Isn't Mr. Obama descended from slave-traders and slave-owners on both sides back into antiquity?

It doesn’t matter if Obama has slave traders or others in the family tree who did dastardly things in their day. This only matters if an evil Republican has such things in the family tree. Since Obama is a good Democrat, researchers would not dig into the family tree to search for things of this nature in the first place.

obama’s heritage could show the obama line being involved in the slave trade in africa, too. muslims sold slaves, as well as black tribes that defeated other tribes.

What’s the matter with George anyway? He can’t seem to keep his dead ancestors in line.
I mean you try to bring them up right. You know discipline them and taking them to church and Sunday school and all. But then they go off on their own and do something crazy like getting in to the slave trade!
Well what are you going to do? They’re your ancestors. You got to love them and let them be dead.

Wow, if Obama wasn’t 50% white and 44% arab, perhaps we could race-bait our way into a story here.
