My cousin?

I hear and read every now and again about viruses/scams via Facebook.  I try to be diligent and not add any lame applications (although I do fall prey to the occasional quiz- apparently I'm best suited to be living in Hawaii.  Duh, I need a quiz to tell me that?).  Anyway, I think today I was almost had.

They have these relative requests, where people can select you and say you're related and then you confirm it and you show up on each other's relative lists.  Personally, I can't keep up.  Today, I got a family request from Barack Obama.  Apparently, we're cousins.

(Pursed lips.  Furrowed brow.  Confused look.)

Nothing against the guy, I mean he's got the worst job in the country and I think he might be in over his head but at least he's trying... but I'm going to go with that I'm going to keep this one a secret from my dad.  You just don't tell your staunchly Republican father that bleeds red, white and blue that Obama is your cousin.

I think someone's trying to fool me...
