That he knows there is still a chance that he may be short-lived history may explain his haste to achieve his goals (probably growing by the day) quickly, thus attracting so much attention.
Myself, from what I’ve seen of human nature,thus far, I suspect he can take his time....
How embarrassing. Obama is going to embarrass the USA more than Bush ever did with his speech impediment.
Correction: Hawai’i >> Hawaii
Apology accepted.
Wow. That is just so trendy and cool. I wish I could be so trendy and cool. It is really dull and backward to plain old type it correctly, huh?
Hawaii. According to the trendy and cool people even Google got it wrong.
“The Hawaii Attorney General opposes release.”

If he’s going to be removed, this will be the vehicle used. At some point, the group behind him will decide that he’s a liability to them and they’ll give the signal to the courts that it’ll be OK to hear these cases, which will surely go against him.

That ceertainly is an accurate, clear description of the document that leaves little doubt of what the issue is all about.
Alright all you sooooo cool and smart Freepers.
according to the hawaiian dictionary (pukui/elbert), the correct spelling is:
Hawai’i.
“for many years hawaiian dictionary has been the definitive and authoritative work on the hawaiian language. now this indispensable reference volume has been enlarged and completely revised. more than 3,000 new entries have been added to the hawaiian-english section bringing the total number of entries to almost 30,000, and making it the largest and most complete of any polynesian dictionary. other addititins and changes in this section include: a method of showing stress groups to facilitate pronunciation of hawaiian words with more than three syllables; indication of parts of speech; current scientific names of plants; use of metric measurements; additional reconstructions;; classical origins of loan words; and many added cross-refernces to enhance understanding of the numerous nuances of hawaiian words.
the english-hawaiian section, a complement and supplement to the hawiian-english section, contains more than 12,500 entries and can serve as an index to hidden riches in the hawaiian language. this new edition is more than a dictionary. containig folklore, poetry, and ethnology, it will benefit hawaiian studies for years to come.”
“mary kawena pukui, in the course of her long career at the bishop museum, translated innumerable hawaiian legends, chants, and archival materials. among her many publications are ‘olelo no’eau: hawiian proverbs and poetical sayings and the echo of our song: chants and poems of the hawaiians, co-authored with alfons l. korn.
samuel h. elbert, professor emeritus of pacific languages and linguistics, has been the resident authority on polynesian languages at the university of hawai’i for more than thirty-five years. he is the author of spoken hawaiian, puluwat dictionary, dictionary of the langusges of rennell and bellona, and other books on polynesian languages. dr. elbert and mrs. pukui are the co-authors of hawaiian grammar, the definitive grammar of the hawiian language, and, with esther t. mo’okini, the pocket hawaiian dictionary, with a concise hawaiian grammar, and place names of hawai’i.”
