Health Care reform allowing, President Barack Obama will leave behind the detritus of legislative guerrilla warfare and a blizzard that froze the nation's capital to head for vacation. He is going home to the place he was born: Hawaii.
The state remains proud of its native son, no matter how many national debates he may spark. Nevertheless, Obama will be coming home to a state struggling with the sour taste of recession. Although a forecast this month by University of Hawaii economists predicted that the new year will bring improvement, unemployment hovers at 7% and, for the all-important tourist trade, visitor arrivals are down 4.2%. Perhaps worse, at least among the parents of 170,000 public schoolchildren, is the national scolding Hawaii received by U.S. Education Secretary Arne Duncan after Hawaii Gov. Linda Lingle closed schools on Fridays to deal with a projected budget deficit of $1 billion.
"Barack Obama is still a subject of considerable admiration and pride in Hawaii, although his political luster has dimmed a little, as one might expect," says Jerry Burris, a long-time political columnist and the co-author of The Dream Begins, a book about the influence Hawaii had in shaping Obama. "When he was first nominated and elected, you heard nary a peep out of local Republicans and other conservatives about our native son. That's changed and now they are willing to criticize him."

This crock from the same bunch of babbling idiots who picked Helicopter Ben Bernanke as the "Man of the Year" last week.
Believe it or not, the MSM slop gets even deeper as the article drones on. Trudge forward at your own peril.
Anybody who needs to “perk” up in Hawaii is an idiot. That place is paradise on Earth and people need to be “perked up”? Give me a break. I absolutely LOVED Hawaii while vacationing there in 2005.
Wonder if we could arrange for them to keep him for a couple of years?
How would these people know where he was born? No BC.
Since this is the season to be with family, shouldn’t he be spending this time in a Kenyan hut with his half bro?
OBOZO HUSSEIN, the MULIM TERRORIST KENYAN VILLAGE IDIOT WAS NOT BORN IN HAWAII!!! or they would exhibit his Legitimate Birth Certificate!!
For those who attack Us for asking for OBOZO’S Birth Certificate, just remember the Senate Bassholes who tried to Disqualify McCAIN on the Senate Floor for “NOT BEING BORN IN THE UNITED STATES!!” They actually had the “BELLS” to VOTE on whether McCAIN was a “NATURAL BORN CITIZEN.”
OBOZO is an ILLEGITIMATE “CHILD” that requires the TRUTH being Found and Exposed about His Sleezey and Dishonest and possibly Criminal PAST! Why did REZKO volunter to go right to Prison instead of having another month or two of freedom before sentencing? Answer: REZKO didn’t want to be Eliminated LIKE VINCENT FOSTER......:-)
This is like a review given to any dictator by an admiring puppet press. Pardon me while I vomit.
I hope the MF chokes on his Poi.
Native Son My @SS!
Nahhhh, can’t read it. Nothing this traitor sack of crap does perks me up.
I will read with joy the day an article appears that he has been arrested and jailed.
Native son my @ss. How cynical of you. Of course he was born in Hawaii, he can prove it with a long form birth certificate and all his school records.
Oh wait.
The state had better hope that they can fit 100 years of tourism dollars into the next year because if der Fuehrer gets his way nobody is going to have any money to waste on tourism in their paradise. If they are lucky maybe they will become a socialist vacation paradise like Cuba.
Looks like he's resting to me.
San Francisco Mayor Newsome is already vacationing in Hawaii-—
A Coincidence?
I wonder. He recently dropped his plans to run for Calif Governor.
Does ANY democrat president EVER 'vacation' in a place THEY OWN?This mutt has a *mansion* in Chicago that's been sitting EMPTY since he was inaugurated(1). So either come back and visit Chicago or sell the freaking place. He surely isn't coming back to Chicago after he
Even Daley finally had enough and pulled the Chicago PD Detail who were guarding the *mansion* and surrounding area 24/7, eating up taxpayer money for nothing.
(1) Except for a few Secret Service agents guarding the *mansion* itself there's nobody there.
Barrack Obama sings “What a Wonderful World”
I see an America,
that’s finally “green”.
No cars on the road,
except for my limousine.
And I say to myself “What a wonderful world!”
I eat Wagyu beef
amid people of fashion.
As you wait in line
for your weekly bread ration.
And I say to myself “What a wonderful world!”
I see a nuclear Iran
free to do as they choose.
They can generate power,
or wipe out the Jews.
And I say to myself “What a wonderful world!”
I know my health plan’s the worst
that all of you’ve ever seen.
But it’ll pay for itself
once we start to sell Soylent Green.
And I say to myself “What a wonderful world!”
Wise people of color finally running the show.
Who knows just how far our country will go?
I’m a worthy successor to men who’ve governed so well.
Like Robert Mugabe—and Presidente Fidel.
I see the Constitution
wadded up and tossed.
It’s no longer valid-
‘cause I won and you lost.
And I say to myself “What a wonderful world!”
I see crackers working
to redress past wrongs.
My new “No Melanin” tax
will keep revenue strong.
And I say to myself “What a wonderful world!”
I see reparations paid
It’ll square things, no doubt.
At least up until
the money runs out.
And I say to myself “What a wonderful world!”
I see re-education camps
for uppity white folks.
Those who thought the wrong thoughts,
or told the wrong jokes.
And I say to myself “What a wonderful world!”
I see mobs raid your houses,
“liberating” what’s “theirs”
You think that’s unjust?
Call someone who cares.
And I say to myself “What a wonderful world!”
Wise people of color finally evening the score.
The “new math” is simple-you get less, we get more.
But we need your hard work so we can keep living large.
Your good times are over-now Obama’s in charge!
You see my evil intentions
along with my blundering.
Why’d you vote for me?
You’ve got to be wondering.
I bet you don’t say to yourself
“What a wonderful world”
No-I bet you ain’t saying to yourself
“What a wonderful world”
It would seem Presidents would love to spend Christmas at the Whitehouse, but this one is a Muslim.
