Obama still has 3 years to get the job done - Hawaii Editorials

I don't ever recall the last president's birth location being mentioned when speaking about him. So why are you doing it here? "But barely a year after the historic election that made the Hawaii-born Punahou School alumnus the nation's first black president"

What's the purpose in mentioning that? Or are you implying that he isn't "American" enough to just say, The newly elected first Black American President?

If i didn't know any better, this article looks like it was written by a white folk... Good Job!

Well that was fair and balanced in a Mao kinda way.

I understand the President and his family will be vacationing in Hawaii this December. What wonderful show of austerity in these hard economic times.

Never send a boy to do a man's job.

Larry and Curly disagree with me on Obama's BC. Yesterday marked 365 days Obama has been president. Issues of his American birth are still swirling around with relentless attacks on his qualifications of being a legitmate citizen. These people are called birthers but should be called idiots. Larry and Curly have been idiots since their own birth. When are they going to stop wasting their time on something that will never change? He is going to be in office for another 1094 days. Get use to it.

Please, he ain't from Alabama, so he ain't your typical 'Black American'. He's a hapa haole/popolo from Hawaii,and that's why he's so special around the world, and only us 'folks' from back home understand it.

Everybody has a right to go home for Christmas, especially the President. Sounds like a bit of jealousy??

If he has NOTHING to hide, he should release them instead of hiring an army of lawyers at a cost of $1.7 million dollars in hiding those documents from you and the rest of America.

Because it's Honolulu newspaper and he was born and raised in Honolulu. Local paper likes to mention the local guy.

Obama no doubt is humbled by some of Tuesday's outcomes, but he should not be cowed. His mandate is for four years, not one.

It's not jealousy, I live in Waianae. The paper plugs in made-up locations to protect the writers.

The "somewhere" you think is "progress" is simply another government entitlement program that will cost individuals their freedom of choice. My doctor billed me last month $114 for a physical. Medicare reimbursed $85 and my insurance company (HMAA)covered $14 so the doctor canceled the balance. How can a doctor run an office getting paid less than $200/hour?

Obama has disappointed because his policies are not much different from Bush's. They primarily benefit the corporate stakeholders. The so-called health reform is an excellent example. Before any legislation was even introduced, the White House had cut deals with the pharmaceutical companies, the medical association, the health insurance companies and many others.

It's a great deal for the insurance industry, since it requires every American to buy insurance, only a tiny fraction of the uninsured will go into the public option, and they will have to pay rates that are far from "affordable."

The pharmaceutical companies received promises that the government would not bargain with them on prices, something we already have in Hawaii. They don't have to change name brands to generic after 5 years. Now, it will be 12 years of gravy.

The story on Wall Street is the same where Obama's team of Geithner and Summers have protected the banksters who caused the economic crash through wild speculation and fraud.

Why would Obama and a Democratic Congress allow this to happen? Campaign contributions. It's just that simple. They are bought and paid for.

I know I sleep better with Obama in the White House and I am very hopeful that he will sign a robust health care bill. It sure feels like he cares about the 99% of the people that Bush did not even acknowledge. I don't listen to the 'talking heads'...they are more interested in heat than light. I never had the bar very high. I'm in Obama's corner, I believe he is in mine.

It you think Medicare and Medicaid are well run, you cant' wait for Obamacare.

"Get the job done"!?!?!?!?!

I am a independent voter who voted for Obama. I thought he was going to be a great president. Boy, was I WRONG.So far I would say he has been one of the worst Presidents we have ever had. I thought Bush was terrible, this guy might be worst. I hope he gets better before our Country goes broke !!!!

And here is what WAS released and which was essentially ignored by the media and give a pass.

You can find video proof of all of these. Just Google it. Topix doesn't allow links to back up statements. In fact, they started blocking direct links to U tube during the Obama campaign.

SO HERE IS THE BARRY YOU KNEW YOU WERE VOTING FOR;

He knows white people are all "typical", like his grandmother.

He's was addicted to nicotine. Claims to have quit for the campaign.

He says he inhaled marijuana and other drugs.“That was the point.”

The Obama’s purchased their home from the same seller who sold friend, associate and convicted felon, Tony Rezko his home. Then, magically, Tony Rezko’s wife also buys the vacant parcel of land next to the Obama’s home for the full asking price of 625K on the same day the Obama’s buy their home for 300K below asking price. Then, surprise, the Obama’s buy a 10 foot strip of the Rezko’a vacant land at an inflated price of 104,500. Essentially, the seller of the Obama’s home got the total price he was looking for for both properties while the Obama’s ended up with at least a 10% discount and a larger yard. All coincidental?

He admonished Americans that their children should learn Spanish.

He let his young daughters sit through hateful and racist sermons each Sunday at Church.

He married a woman who despite succeeding beyond most people’s dreams, and who got a raise from 100K to 300K soon after her husband became a US Senator,(coincidence?) still was somehow “never proud of her country.”

He wants to ignore our allies and engage our enemies.

He secretly whispers to millionaire San Francisco liberals that the Heartlanders are people who "cling to their guns and religion".(ie ignorant bigots).

He doesn't put his hand on his heart for the national anthem.

He supports “age appropriate” sex education for kindergarteners.

He lets his 3 year old daughter listen to pornographic rap music littered with profane, racist and misogynistic references including the “N-word”(snoop dogg 'drop it like it's hot').

Not only supports abortion but voted to allow killing babies who are accidentally born alive.

He thinks it's silly to wear an American Flag lapel pin.

He has had a hate filled, racist minister for 20 years whom he so loved that he allowed him to perform his wedding, baptize his kids, and he entitled his book after his words.

He had no problem associating with William Ayers, admitted domestic terrorist who said in 2001 that “''I don't regret setting bombs,'' and went on,''I feel we didn't do enough.” He was referring to his organization bombing the Pentagon.

He painted over the existing American Flag on his airplane tail when he went to the Middle East. Was it so he wouldn't offend anyone with the stars and stripes.

Then in his speech to Berliners, he said he was “a fellow citizen of the world” and addressed a crowd of foreigners with “People of the World, this is OUR moment, this is OUR time” and then went on to call for an end to “walls”(ie borders and nations) and criticize the United States.

His campaign remade the Presidential Seal in his own image.(illegal)

He found time to play basketball on his world tour but refused to visit wounded troops since he couldn't bring handlers and a camera. Any Senator could visit the troops at any time,.. if they go without campaign staff. He decided not to go.
