    Barack Obama and Sarah Palin are 10th cousins through a common ancestor(祖先), John Smith, a 17th century pastor 1, according to genealogists(系谱专家).

    Ancestry 3.com found that the two politicians, who could face each other in the 2012 race for the White House, are both related to Mr Smith, a Protestant pastor who was an early settler in Massachusetts.

    The website, based in Provo, Utah, also discovered that Mr Obama was a 10th cousin(表亲) once removed from Rush Limbaugh, the conservative(保守的) talk radio host and one of the president's most virulent 4 critics. Their common ancestor is Richmond Terrell, a Virginia settler who arrived in America in the mid-17th century.

    An Englishman called John Lathrop, exiled to the United States for becoming a minister(牧师) of an illegal independent church, was cited as the common link between Mrs Palin, Senator Harry 5 Reid, the Senate Majority Leader, and Ann Coulter, a conservative author.

    "It is not unusual to find family members on different ends of the political spectrum," said Anastasia Tyler, an Ancestry.com genealogist 2. "This election season is an ideal time to look into the family trees of our candidates and their critics to learn more about the ties that make them all part of this great country."During the 2008 election campaign, it was revealed that Mr Obama was related to Dick Cheney, then the vice-president, through a distant Huguenot forbear. Their shared ancestry became a popular laugh line in Mr Obama's stump 6 speech and a spokesman joked that Mr Cheney was "the black sheep of the family".(本文由在线英语听力室整理编辑)
