In short, Wolf's mother was cousins with Obama's grandmother.

That makes them second-cousins-once-removed.

Let me see.... if Madelyn Payne and Anna McCurry were first cousins, Anna’s children and Madelyn were second cousins. So, Madelyn’s child, Stanley Ann would be Anna’s third cousin. Stanley’s child would be Anna’s fourth cousin.

Is that what once removed means? I am not familiar with that term.
