Save those Chicago-style hot dogs for the next South Lawn picnic. The leader of the free world wants his Hawaii grinds.
In a nod to his first home state, President Barack Obama will host the first-ever Hawaii-style luau on the White House lawn, complete with real Island cuisine, hula and music. The Thursday luau is pretty much all the Hawaii-born-and-raised president's idea—his revamping, of sorts, of the annual White House Congressional picnic for members of Congress and their families.
Award-winning Hawaii-based chef Alan Wong is crafting the luau’s menu of contemporary Hawaiian cuisine, making use of as much Island-grown produce as he can get to D.C. The chef’s Honolulu eatery, Alan Wong’s Restaurant, has been a favorite dinner choice of the Obama’s on recent visits to Oahu.

“In a nod to his first home state,” Kenya?
So... what is the crabon footprint of this luau?
How much of the “native” produce needs to be flown in?
I want to see him go to Hawaii for the 4th of July. But he’s too much of a coward.
Real Hawaiian cuisine? That would include Spam Salad, wouldn’t it?
He should have his luau in Hawaii - on July 4th - on the part of the Islands closest to North Korea.
Will Don Ho be there?
“Tiny bubbles.....”
In a real hawaiian luau, women are not allowed to eat with men. If women eat certain foods like fish or bananas, they are killed. Women and men (except royalty) are almost totally naked.
No birth certificates necessary for admission.
LOL, I think the Kapu system went with the monarchy. Damned American imperialists.
If he is, it’s going to be one hell of a luau...he’s been dead for 2 years.
A nod to his first home state so they will feel the love before they get nuked. Hey, we won.
The Presidency is one long Disney trip for Obama.
Fireworks will be provided in anticipation of the NK missile launch coming up on the 4th aimed at Hawaii!
One wonders is the Iranian diplomats will be invited to this as well...in consideration of the ‘vigorous debate’ going on in Iran.
what is the crabon footprint of this luau?
Man, I wish I had more net skills. I would find a pic of a crab and post his itty bitty footprint! ;^)
I want to see obummer, his manbeast wife and the rugrats, eat pork.
