US president Barack Obama is from Alsace

[David]

Where did Obama's great great .. parent(s) come from? We know that they are not from America. I have heard that he was from Alsace. Obama's ancestor(s) came from Bischwiller. Thus he is Alsacien. I also heard he has Swiss blood.

This is actually some interesting information. I had no idea that President Obama traces his family tree to france (http://lafrance.com).

Partly Africa (kenya) and Partly Ireland I heard but then again it seems that almost every US president has to have Irish stout I mean blood
