Obama's Hawaii: Ko`olau Mountains to Kawai Nui Marsh

A   L   O   H   A  !

 Nu`uanu Street
 in Downtown Honolulu
Rises into the
Becoming the Pali Highway.

" Every truth 
has two sides; 
it is as well to 
look at both, 
before we 
commit ourselves 
to either. "

Aesop 











 Kailua Town, Windward O`ahu 
I wish you could hear
the birds, waterfowl,
gently lapping waters,
and the breezes.











Yes, the Obama family
 is vacationing in Kailua.
If you paddle down this marsh
toward the beach,
you will meet Navy seals
before you get to see the Coast Guard cutter
and the other armed vessels lurking 
out of sight near the First Family's
 beach-front resting place.

The Obamas RENT the property.
There is no family compound.

Barack grew up in rental and
UH faculty housing.

During High School years,
 he lived in a modest apartment
(walking distance from here)
with his grandmother "Toot"
and WWII vet grandfather,
 Stanley.
Stanley Dunham is buried
National Memorial Cemetery
of the Pacifc (Military)

Punchbowl, Above Honolulu








Resting Place of Heroes

“ The most powerful
 weapon on earth 
is the human soul 
on fire. ”

Ferdinand Foch
