No, Hawaiian semi-pidgin. Nothing to do with ebonics.
That’s what I thought. Lots of Hawaiians talk like that. Usually the compassionate liberal reporter “cleans up” the quote so it appears as though the speaker is using the King’s English. Notice how you NEVER see a news report that accurately transcribes how Obama really speaks? There’s never a “ah, ah ah...let me be ah clear...ah...the republicans are... ah going to take your social security...ah... away.”
