I guess Hawaii is a ‘good’ secessionist movement. While anything going against the Obama agenda is a ‘bad’ secessionist movement. Lockstep or else!
During the 2008 election, the media played up Todd Palin’s supposed links to some Alaskan secessionist movement. They did not pay the same attention to Obama’s support for the Hawaiian secessionist movement.
He’s still supportive.

This Obama Administration Proposal Would Effectively Authorize Some Americans Seceding
Daily Signal ^ | August 26, 2014 | Hans von Spakovsky
In its latest assault on the U.S. Constitution, the Obama administration is proposing to recognize so-called “Native” Hawaiians as an Indian tribe entitled to separate and become an independent sovereign and to “reestablish” a “government-to-government relationship between the United State and the Native Hawaiian community.”
Such an unconstitutional action would amount to authorizing secession for certain residents of Hawaii.
It would also implicitly authorize government-sanctioned, discriminatory conduct against any other residents who don’t meet the explicit ancestry and blood-quantum requirements to be considered a “Native.” This would balkanize Hawaii, dividing the islands into separate racial and ethnic enclaves, and undo “the political bargain through which Hawaii secured its admission into the Union.”
