I don't understand that. So, the next time he feels like a Coke he should drink homemade Coke that he and Michelle make in their kitchen instead of buying one in a plastic bottle? Tea doesn't come from the tap. His point was that there's no difference between the quality of bottled water and the water in Hawai'i. And if ten people, for example, stop buying water in plastic water bottles because of what he did, I think it's quite an accomplishment.

Well, a woman's place is in the kitchen, so I would have to say yes.

Well, I agree. And while they're there they should be making me pumpkin pie or chewy brownies.

A fair point......however, if only one person decides to take a trip to Hawaii because they saw Obama there...................

But that's a huge part of Hawai'i's economy. If visiting Hawai'i is now a must for certain people because of Obama, then good for HI.
It's amazing, actually, how many people visit HI because of 'Lost'. Tourism skyrocketed.

Shoeless. Don't forget shoeless.

Travel is a job requirement for a Presidential candidate. He can't perform his job without traveling. To say his not green because he travels more than most Americans is an absurdity.

So we've established here today that it's ok to pollute the planet if your job requires it or if you are on vacation...so long as you, once in a while, do some small gesture, a nod if you will, towards living a more green lifestyle.

If you're saying it's ok to pollute if it helps the economy I don't see where we disagree.

Well, that is certainly one spin that could be placed on it.

No one ever said that "it is okay to pollute." We all pollute in varying forms. With currently mass available/reasonably affordable technology, the question becomes whether one is doing their best to reduce their carbon footprint.
