This is what occurs in a slow-news environment at The Washington Post: they lament the lack of honors for Barack Obama. The front page of Saturday’s paper carried the headline “Hawaii wipes out in Obama honors.” With nothing better to do in Honolulu, White House reporters Greg Jaffe and Juliet Eilperin spent 1,286 words unspooling the “embarrassing record” of Hawaii’s failure to name more than a snowcone after the current president.
The story began at Sandy Beach, where former Honolulu city councilman Stanley Chang wanted to name a favorite Obama hangout for the president:
“It was almost a prose poem,” Chang said. Obama imagined a sea turtle swimming in profile, “like a hieroglyph in the water,” the rolling crest of a perfect wave, the sunset “glittering” as the swimsuit-clad commander in chief sipped a soda.
Where have we heard that kind of Obama gush before? Oh yes, Eli Saslow of your Washington Post. His gushy Christmas Day front-pager in 2008 carried this passage:
Between workout during his Hawaii vacation this week, he was photographed looking like the paradigm of a new kind of presidential fitness, one geared less toward preventing heart attacks than winning swimsuit competitions. The sun glinted off his chiseled pectorals sculpted during four weightlifting sessions each week, and a body toned by regular treadmill runs and basketball games.
In that spirit, Jaffe and Eilperin complained:
Obama’s return to the place of his birth also calls to mind an embarrassing record of legislative stumbles: Since 2009, Hawaii’s politicos have sought to name two schools, an abandoned lot, a scenic overlook and two state holidays after Obama. An effort to put the 1960s-era cinder-block apartment building — where he lived — on the National Historic registry also fell short.
For now, the most famous thing that bears Obama’s name here is the “Snowbama,” a shaved ice that’s a mix of lemon, lime, cherry and passion guava flavors and sells for $4 at Island Snow, one of the president’s favorite vacation haunts.
Well, duh. He’s from Kenya, silly.
But there’s a Hawaii in Kenya. ;)
Not only by the washington compost, but also by the New York Slimes and every 0bama media
Oh, the dishonor
Oh the shame.
The story is not true. There have been several attempts to name sites in Obama’s honor but it was refused. The new garbage transfer station on Oahu was planning on naming the location, “Obama’s Dump” but was refused. There was also a suggestion to name the popular tourist “Blow Hole” site after Obama - there is a hole in the rock along the ocean where every few seconds, waves under the rocks surge under the rock shelf causing water to blow through the hole, making a sound and getting nearby sightseers wet - but that was also rejected as being too “inappropriate”. We’ve tried.....honestly.....
After reading this washington pest spew, their writers have a lock on the Golden Kneepad & Brown Nose Award.
Name a ‘wing’ at Ft. Leavenworth Prison after Obama and his administration.
The other kids in those days didn’t think he had any interest in women.
They must be waiting to see what comes out about Obama that hasn’t been revealed.
Before you flush, be sure to wipe your Obama.
Let’s name the maternity ward of whatever hospital he says he was born in the “Barry Soetoro Maternity Ward”. Just make sure it was around in 1961.
It could even have a rear entrance named after Reggie!
Barry’s Gay Bar.
Is it possible Hawaii can spot a turd where the Compost cannot.
Surly there must be many suitable locations throughout Hawaii.
A huge dope farm, a cocaine lab, a homosexual bath house, a public bathroom glory hole or a counterfeit birth certificate and ID lab would be perfect.
The big advantage is that they can stage bowl games there. Turd down and three to go.
These people here have the right idea
Maybe they fear litigation implicating them in the massive hoax perpetrated on US citizens. It could financially wipe them out.
(Ha ha ha ha ha ha....wipeout!)
Hey attorneys, think of the payday on a $5 Trillion class action suit.
Because the WaPo, including its staff, is already is known as TraitorWaPo. May they be tried, convicted, sentenced and hanged.
