Obama is One-quarter Jewish heritage (House of David) and is a descendent of 2 Kings (King Edward I of England, William I King of Scots) and 6 Presidents (Madison, Truman, Johnson, Carter, GHW Bush, GW Bush.
Barack Hussein Obama II is:

7% African
43% Arab
25% Anglo Saxon
25% Jewish

His mother was half Jewish judging from Obama's genealogy through the past 400 yrs.

Obama is a descendent in the line of David through a descendent on his mother's side of the family who lived in England 400 years ago named Martha Eltonhead.

I have highlighted the members of Barack Obama's family who are likely to be of Jewish heritage in bold.

President William McKinley and Richard Nixon have family links to York County. That information has been out there for years. But "Trust Talk," newsletter of the York County Heritage Trust, broke new ground in exploring local links to the family of Barack Obama - and former president Lyndon Johnson.

According to the newsletter, Both Obama and Johnson descend from Philip Ament, a York County native. Ament joined the Continental Army in 1775, and he and his wife, Maria Elisabeth Schmidt, daughter of Jacob Schmidt, later moved to Albemarle County, Va.

Obama was a 6th great grandson and Johnson a third great grandson.

The newsletter said Obama is a descendant of 14 people who completed service in the American Revolution and, thus, is eligible for membership in the Sons of the American Revolution.

- Nixon's mother, Hannah Milhous Nixon, descended from William Griffith, who settled in Warrington Township in 1735. Jacob, William's son, moved to Washington County, Pa. Their daughter married Joshua Milhous in Ohio. She and her son Franklin Milhous, the president's grandfather, moved to California. Another Nixon ancestor, American Revolution Andrew Trimmer is buried in Washington Township. Trimmer served under another York County Ament, Captain Jacob Ament.

Back to Obama. Here is the relevant family tree:

- Philip Ament, born 1755, and Maria Elisabeth Schmidt, both of York County, had a daughter, Catherine Ament.
- Catherine Ament was the mother or grandmother of Nancy Ann Childress, born in 1848.
- Childress and George W. Amour had a son, Harry Ellington Armour, born in 1874.
- Harry Ellington Armour and Gabriella Clark had a daughter, Ruth Lucille Armour, in 1900.
- Ruth Lucille Armour had a son, Stanley Armour Dunham, in 1918.
- Stanley Armour Dunham had a daughter, Stanley Ann Dunham, in 1942.
- Stanley Ann Dunham is Barack Obama's mother.
