How far removed does one have to be before the "I descended from slaves" claim bears little meanng?
I am a descendant of Cesars Roman Generals ...well maybe I am of Italian extraction

There are probably a million or more people in the US related to John Punch.
This information seems to be coming out of geneologists from Salt Lake City and not from Obama's camapign.
"Through DNA analysis, property, and marriage records, researchers determined that John Punch was bought to America before 1640 and later captured that year after attempting to escape in Maryland. He was then extradited and tried in Virginia, where he was ordered by the court to become a permanent slave. Punch would later father children with a White woman, who would pass on her freed status to their children who then became landowners. Punch fathered John Bunch, with Bunch’s children marrying in to White families later."
