Confederate Flag Controversy: Obama May Be Forced To Resign Because Of THIS [SEE DETAILS] As the liberal media pushes to ban the Confederate flag and any history tied to slavery, it has been revealed that President Barack Obamas family owned slaves in the past. According to recent reports, Obamas great-great-great-great grandfather, George Washington Overall, owned two slaves. Both were recorded in the 1850 census in Nelson, County, KY. The information was revealed in the Baltimore Sun in 2007, along with claims that his relative Mary Duvall also owned slaves. Somehow, this issue was never brought into light in his 2008 campaign. While a relative owned slaves, another fought for the Union is the Civil War, Obamas campaign spokesman Bill Burton claimed. And it is a true measure of progress that the descendant of a slave owner would come to marry a student from Kenya and produce a son who would grow up to be a candidate for president of the United States. What do you think? Is Obama a hypocrite?
