Lynne Cheney, the vice president’s wife, revealed this tantalising bit of American political trivia during a television interview yesterday.

She said she uncovered the long-ago ties between the two while researching her ancestry for her latest book, Blue Skies, No Fences, a memoir about growing up in Wyoming.

"This is such an amazing American story that one ancestor … could be responsible down the family lines for lives that have taken such different and varied paths as Dick’s and Barack Obama," Lynne Cheney told MSNBC.

A spokesman for Obama, who wants to be the first black US president, offered a tongue-in-cheek response.

"Every family has a black sheep," said spokesman Bill Burton.
