Obama and Hawaii

I came across this YouTube clip (thanks to Kelssie. Word up to Azusa!) that discusses how the Hawaiian culture might have influenced Obama. Aside from the reporter's claims that Hawaii has "air like warm silk" and the overuse of sunset/beach footage, it is interesting to know that Hawaii and its rich cultural values might have some influence over the future of America. And I'm glad to hear it.

Also, check out this Quarterlife Cafe post from the Honolulu Advertiser's website, where former reporter turned DC grad student Kim Fassler talks about Hawaii's owning Obama and whether or not he's 'local enough.'

Favorite of-course-you're-from-the-mainland-if-you're-saying-stuff-like-that line: 'The natives got restless.'

Thanks for the link! I posted something about the NYT Spam story, too. Hope you're having a nice weekend.
