KAILUA, HI - Barack Obama may be the first U.S. president who can successfully pull off the shaka, a Hawaiian greeting Hawaiians say has various meanings, from “hang loose” and “cool” to “thanks.”

The hand gesture, also a common greeting in surfer culture, consists of curling the three middle fingers and extending the thumb and little finger.

The president-elect, looking uber-cool with his White Sox baseball cap on backwards, flipped the shaka to a crowd of about 30 people as he left a gym on a Marine Corps base on the Hawaiian island of Oahu, where he is vacationing.

Obama, born and largely raised on Oahu, then walked over to greet the crowd, which had waited through a brief cloudburst to see him. Righting his baseball cap as he walked, he shook hands before posing with four babies.

That silly fool doesn't have a clue.

Since he's not the President, he shouldn't be talking, even if he did have a clue. As of now, he is nothing but a big, ol', goofy nobody.

Unfortunately the President who SHOULD be talking doesn't seem to have much to say....

Are you certain of that? How many phone calls did he make in the last few days dealing with this? What has he offered? What did he threaten? Hmmm?

Just because he didn't put on a dog and pony show for your benefit doesn't mean anything...

Actually he does...
Bush has reaffirmed his support for Israel, and urges them to keep civilian casualties to a minimum.

Same advice I would give.

Hamas is not going to relent trying to destroy Israel, so this is the only option they have.

SHHHH! WORLD WAITS FOR OBAMA TO VOICE HIS OPINION ON GAZA (Drudge headline) (I don't know how to insert the image, if someone else could? :shr:)

Israel has until Jan 20 to do what they have to do. God willing.

Obama is not president yet and he is done campaigning so he should not be commenting on any policy or expressing anything other than solidarity with the current American leadership. It is very bad form to show dissention or say anything that might undermine the President. A month from now he can say and do whatever he wants. Obama has shown a lot of class since being elected by keeping his opinions non-committal or to himself.
