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

A   L   O   H   A  !

Rises into the

 Ko`olau Mountains,

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 

Kawainui Marsh

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

at in Punchbowl Crater,

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. ”
