President Obama's Swiss Connection

It appears that Obama may have a little Swiss in him.

Some in the small Swiss village of Ried bei Kerzers claim that Hans Gutknecht, who was born in the village in the late 1690s, is an ancestor of President Obama.  This would make him Obama's seventh great grandfather on his mother's side.

The Swiss, like most in Europe, are fond of Obama.  As for me, wellllll...he's better than Bush doing his thing.  I must admit I expected more am proud of him. 

I will say that it's stress-free not having to be apart of the US political climate, AT THE MOMENT!  The Republicans are BOLDLY showing their asses. And the Dems are punking out... But I digress.

I know things will get better.  But in the meantime, I think it's exciting to know that wherever I go, FABULOUS things happen Obama may have a little Swiss in him like me!
