Sins/Virtues of our forebears

Action

An amateur genealogical researcher by the name of William Reitwiesner decided he would selectively examine Barack Obama's lineage on his mother side. He unearthed the following nugget of information, 2 of his ancestors owned a grand total of FOUR slaves.

REACTION

Obama's camp discovered his great-great-great-grandfather, Christopher Columbus Clark fought for the Union army (against slavery) during the Civil War.

In sporting parlance, doesn't this qualify as a draw/tie?!
