Hawaii would go third world in a generation if they became their own country. However, if they repatriated with another nation, like China, they’d be a third world country living under communist rule.

The first order of business would be to purge the islands of “Americans.”

China would love to have a mid Pacific Naval base.

> If Hawaii were no longer a state, would Obama no longer be president, since he would no longer have been born in a state of the United States????

Good question but you know he would make his status exempt or retroactive with the wave of that mighty pen

For the past several years, Obama has stopped selling T bonds to China and the Federal Reserve has been printing money to purchase them.

There is one critical action Obama could take which you apparently did not consider. He could ask the Secretary of State to send China a sternly worded letter of protest.

That would make him African-Chinese instead of African-American, right?

I got an idea that ought to appeal to 0bama. If the Chinese want to arm some harmless kooks in Hawaii, maybe we ought to state our willingness to arm the Moslem Uighurs in Xinjiang.

They aren’t harmless kooks.

What a surprise, with the present administration looking for ways to dismantle the United States and our go along get along don’t hurt any of our socialist and islamic friends feelings republican congress. I’m surprised Russia and Canada aren’t working to divvy up Alaska and Japan isn’t going after the Aleutians. Will California and Arizona end up part of Mexico before the United Nations turn Central America, Mexico, the United States and Canada into the new brown nation of The New Socialist Nation of North America?

That depends on the military, if it is willing to tale orders from him.

“China must be in the crapper to come up with stuff like this.”

Nah, I think they’re mocking us for our weakness, our lack of resolve. They think and may be right that we’re on our last legs, we’ve been infiltrated and co-opted at all levels of government, media and education by the socialist.

Taiwan isn’t completely financially dependent on the PRC, while Hawaii would need to give up its three primary sources of income from the US; the military, tourist industry and public transfer payments.

Two out of three; the tourist industry would persist. And you think the commies wouldn't take that?

I suppose it would persist. But somehow I don't think it would at its current quality level.

In a few years it'll probably be more like visiting Jamaica.
