Patty and I spent much of the day, Tuesday, watching the various presidential inaugural ceremonies, parades, and balls on 
television. Although I’ll admit to not voting for President Obama, I do believe he’s off to a good start and pray for his success. I’m also of the opinion that he’s my president – and that means I must support him to the best of my ability. Now that’s about as political as you’re ever going to see this blog get…
There is a lot of good stuff online dealing with President Obama’s ancestry. I’m going to link to sites, newspapers and columns that might be of interest to anyone wanting to know more about the Obama ancestry. Expect this blog to be updated from time to time. You can always find it using the search engine – or just browse the category, Political Family History.
