Hawaii leaders find hope in Obama workshops
Honolulu Star-Ad ^ | January 6, 2019 | Sophie Cocke

It was a message of hope that carried Hawaii-born Barack Obama into the White House a decade ago, and it’s that same message he is continuing to carry through his post-presidency work to inspire and empower a new generation of international leaders.

That was clear Saturday as 21 young people chosen by the Obama Foundation as emerging leaders gathered at the East-West Center in Honolulu for a day of workshops and conversations about how to design a leadership program for the Asia-Pacific region. (snip) Obama was not present for yesterday’s activities but is expected to meet today with participants, who will pitch their ideas for the Asia-Pacific leadership program. The former president is scheduled to deliver remarks later in the evening at a private event.

Even if he was born in Hawaii he is still not a natural born citizen because his father being a Kenyan made him a Kenyan and a British subject at birth.

The children of foreign nationals are NOT natural born citizens.

Only those born with only ONE nationality are NATURALLY citizens.

When I first came here , it was extremely rare to see an African-American person on any of the outer islands. Those on Oahu were usually military associated . Except Frank Marshall Davis....Nowadays that’s changed a lot m Black folks are all over , and including tons of Af-Am tourists. No black ghetto have developed. The various islander ethnic minorities have a lock on all of that and many/most tend to be quite racist towards African Americans . Hard then for them to get a foothold ,neighborhood wise. Just all scattered around , here and there.No cultural basis/roots either.

It is the technique of the “Big Lie” to keep repeating a lie until idiots forget the lie and believe it.

Without a ghetto and feral underclass, we miss out on all those inner-city games the mainland enjoys.

Initially, I misread the article title as- “Hawaii leaders find hope in Obama worship”

(then again, a distinction without much of a difference…)
