Chnk and dirtbag are incompetent. Anyone with a law degree could read 1182f and see the president was correct. Hawiians apparently are stupider than most people.
On a recent cruise my wife and I were seated next to a Hawaiian judge for meals. I've never met anyone more arrogant and conceited. He clearly considered us haoles -- not a complimentary term. If we didn't need Pearl Harbor for our Pacific Fleet -- which might be negotiable -- I'd strongly support legislation repealing Hawaiian statehood. It's true we'd lose a big export market for Spam but they might lose many more tourist dollars spent by the mainland haoles they disrespect so much.
