Speaking of which, when is Obama going to campaign in the heart of America? I know Hawaii and Germany are tossup states but I really doubt if they are going to decide the election  |
I know others have mentioned it but I thought I'd add a note here, since i've been following the coverage of his vacation in Hawaii.
I grew up in Hawaii. He's vacationing there but he's also visiting his grandma, who's rather old and he wanted to visit while he had a chance. Hawaii may be portrayed as exotic by the visitors' bureau but trust me, it's a lot like Southern California. It's a STATE. We speak English, we use American dollars. You don't need a passport to go there.
Let's not get started about flying. Bush didn't have to go to Beijing (and in fact it's not traditional for a sitting US president to go to the Olympics) but W seems to be on a permanent vacation now that he's a total lame duck.
