Barack Obama’s identity seems to keep getting more complicated. He’s got a shepherd Islamic father, a white Kansan mother, a borderline crazy pastor. And now: a rabbi inlaw. Turns out Michelle Obama’s cousin, Rabbi Capers C. Funnye Jr., is the leader of a mostly black Jewish synagogue in Chicago. We’ll see if McCain can out-Jew that.

Funnye’s take on Obama, who he met right before their wedding: “He was very caring, a little skinny and very sincere,” Funnye said. Our kind of guy.
