Former Mitt Romney spokesman Kevin Madden said on CNN today....

Kevin Madden: ".... the fact that the President being on vacation in Hawaii it's much different than being in Texas, Hawaii to many Americans seems like a foreign place.... "

4. States admitted to the Union before July, 1959 are part of Real America
States admitted after that date are foreign places. Thus Sarah Palin is a folksy hockey mom from the American Heartland, and Barack Obama is a scary, anti-American foreigner.

5. Madden is just another straw grasper. Say any thing to try and
besmirch Obama. Praising Dubya's grandstanding? Ridiculous.

8. Not too foreign for Rush, though I doubt there is a sex tourist industry in Hawaii unlike where Rush
usually travels with Viagra.

Maybe the generation who missed "Hawaii 5-O" thinks it's not America. That's the lamest excuse ever!

"Book 'em, Danno...."

Besides, people think of Hawaii as a "vacation-land". It's where you go when you win a vacation on a game show. It's where one is supposed to vacation! What's unusual about the Prez or anyone vacationing there? Nothing. Besides Obama was born there....which brings us to the reason for this stupid meme in the 1st place. It's just Birther-speak. Stupid and not true.



"Be there....aloha."

I am SO SURE IF YOU ASKED THIS REPUBLICAN idiot if he would like to turn down tickets for an all expense paid vacation to Hawaii, he would say there are too many SCARY Foreigners there!!!!! :sarcasm:

14. You know its interesting how there is nothing absolutely nothing in this guy's bio.
Strange man that Kevin. He sure doesn't like places where brown people are. Sort of like that whole Mormon thing about how brown people got burnt in the pre life for their sins. Of course I don't know that for sure about the Mormons I just read it in Freeperville. They don't like Mormons there... or brown people.

Hawaii land of burnt people. Not American and white like him. And me... heck I am so unburnt I am pink.:hi:
