When I offered a picture of Obama's family back before the election, the left leaning blog PageOneKentucky pointed its quivering finger at me and yelled "racist". Now Politico is running with virtually the same story I wrote.
As I mentioned in my piece, many presidents have had to deal with the embarrassment of brothers, sisters, children and other kinfolk who suddenly became of interest once the new president was in office. As Politco points out, that's often tough enough when your family are all from one continent. In Obama's case, his family tree is very complicated and so may be the questions he will be facing.
Good thing the headline didn't say woodpile.
