It turns out Obama's real last name, "Sotero," is a variant of my last name, "de la Sota." "Soto" is also the same root from which the surname of Sonia Sotomayor is taken.

My name means "of the grove." Obama's name just means "grove." The "grove" in the Old Testament is where witchcraft was practiced. This also fits in with "Bohemian Grove." I have always assumed my name meant "Michael, who lived when the Earth became one giant witchy grove."
I wonder if I am actually related by blood to Obama. Most unpleasant thought. Bet you didn't know your president was a Castilian, did you? He ain't no Isabella, that's for sure.
"Family Crests" are a scam for Americans. There is no such thing as a "Family crest" - but Americans who feel a desire to connect to their European past suck them up like candy.
Wikipedia says this: "There is a widespread misconception, due in part to Victorian stationers' marketing of engraved letterheads, that a crest and a coat of arms belong to everyone with the same family name; but usage by persons not descended from the original grantee constitutes usurpation.
Bogus "family crests" continue to be sold to the
gullible by heraldic "bucket shops.""
An individual may have a crest for various reasons, but it belongs to him alone.
Most people outside of America are aware of this but you guys in the states fall for it hook line and sinker - hence the huge market for it.
