Exotic? It's a farking state. And considering how much both sides fought for the votes of Florida, the most "exotic" mainland state, this entire discussion is pretty ridiculous.

Hawaii's like Florida, only farther away and with less murder and Disney.

Hawai'i is NOTHING LIKE Florida. In Hawai'i, the stupid darker skinned folks hate the stupid lighter skinned folks.

Besides Hawai'i is an archipelago, not a peninsula, like Florida.

Um, hey McPancakes, Obama was born there and maybe likes to visit his relatives.

/Hell, even I was able to visit 5 times
//Likes arugula
///I guess I'm an elitist

As opposed to Florida where the stuipid darker-skinned folks hate this big island 90 miles to the south, and the entire rest of the state is batshiat crazy.

I've been there three times, and it gets a little less exotic every time I visit thanks to the efforts of the rich people who want to live in an exotic location. May Pele destroy them all in a shower of hot lava, especially Oprah.

Mahalo to whoever pointed out that Barack coudn't have been "lounging on a private beach" in Hawaii because there ARE NO private beaches in Hawaii.

 
Lionel Mandrake [TotalFark] 2008-08-22 05:08:17 PM  
Obama, who was born in Hawaii and still visits his maternal grandmother here...

Farking elitist...choosing to be born in Hawaii and daring to visit his grandmother.

The arrogance of this man will never cease to astonish me!

 
Rent Party 2008-08-22 05:43:19 PM  
It's not as exotic as Viet Nam, where I hear John McCain was a POW for a number of years.

 
Simplest Quantum System Conceivable 2008-08-22 05:45:00 PM  
Exotic enough that the Japanese bombed U.S bases there in one of the most important moments in world history, drawing us into WW2.

Also I hear it's a good place to pick up a beer heiress.

There's a private beach for the military on Oahu.

TOO exotic. Needs more wal-mart

 
Gamer Grrrl [TotalFark] 2008-08-22 05:46:16 PM  
Considering I just spent ten days there, and my husband is currently extremely underemployed, not so exotic.

 
Hang On Voltaire [TotalFark] 2008-08-22 05:46:41 PM  
As I said in my concern troll post at the time. Why would Obama NOT vacation in a swing state?

Not that Obama did "lounge on a private beach" in Hawaii but isn't Niihau a private island so the beaches there are private?

I don't think anyone has said that's where Obama went however.

 
oregoncat 2008-08-22 05:49:47 PM  
I bet McSame's TWO beachside condos in Southern Cal are pretty exotic...

He grew up in Hawaii. It was a vacation.

 
Spanky_McFarksalot 2008-08-22 05:50:37 PM  
well, this just proves that the economy, terrorism, housing crisis, alternative energy, social security and the environment are no longer a concern because if they were the candidates wouldn't be wasting time on this question.

Happy Rainbows America!

 
Dr Dreidel 2008-08-22 05:51:32 PM  
Why does McCain hate non-continental America?

I keep thinking I should go and take pictures of them. However I bet the one in La Jolla is real nice. That's is a very expensive area.

 
Lawnchair 2008-08-22 05:52:24 PM  
Between getting fuel, reliance on tourists, inter-island travel, etc, Hawaii is going to look "exotic" in the third-world sense if energy prices keep climbing.

 
All2morrowsparTs 2008-08-22 05:53:33 PM  
Yah, Exotic, until you go into an ABC store.

La Jolla is the most expensive city in the US. It's really, really overrated.

Come on Obama email me. I want to have the VP pick on fark before I go home from work.

 
All2morrowsparTs 2008-08-22 05:54:36 PM  
And they have alot of gun ranges for the Japanese tourists.

This should be home for the GOP.

I know this must be a lie, because we're all well aware that Obama threw his grandmother under a bus, and when I was in Hawaii I saw no buses.

Very clever, did you mom help you write that one?

 
RevMercutio [TotalFark] 2008-08-22 05:56:29 PM  
The answer is: Less exotic than Panama.

 
Random Guy 2008-08-22 05:58:04 PM  
Sammy Jenkins: Exotic? Maybe if you've lived in a fly-over state all your life.

Yep keep calling us fly-over states, I finally got my shipment of SAM's yesterday.

I thought in general the more rich people live in Rancho Sante Fe. All the music and movie stars. There are some areas in La Jolla where things aren't over a mil, but I didn't think that was true for Rancho Sante Fe.

 
LocalCynic 2008-08-22 06:01:02 PM  
Arizona wouldn't even exist if it wasn't for air conditioning. It's in the middle of a desert. I would call that an "exotic" place.

Niihau is for natives only. So yeah, I guess "The Forbidden Island" has private beaches. For Native Hawaiians, and not the kind the Obama is. You know, islander, man.

WIki says:

Forbes reported Rancho Santa Fe as having the third most expensive ZIP code in the United States, and most expensive in California, with a median home sale price of $2,585,000 [2][3].

 
TheGreyPiper 2008-08-22 06:07:08 PM  
What's this? Is 'exotic' the new code word for 'colored' or 'diverse' or something?

Well, I'll be damned. A quick Google search shows that LJ was most expensive in 2004, but in 2007 it wasn't even on the list. Huh.

Yes, Yes it is.

By "exotic" they mean "ethnic". That is how Hawaii is more "exotic" than Panama.

If Obama had been porn in the Panama Zone like McCain he would be attacked like crazy.

Basically people who want to be known as being rich live in La Jolla people who are filly rich and just want to hide out and not be bothered go to Rancho Sante Fe.

Because for the most part they are pretty farking lousy places to vacation.

Economy's in the shiatter, major company after major company going belly up, Russia sliding back to its soviet days of invading neighbors, forclosures at their highest in decades, half of all bankruptcies are due to catastrophic healthcare costs and what are the campaigns talking about? Whether or not their guy identifies with the common citizen.

Well, here's a clue. The fact that they are focusing so much on who's elitist or not just shows that neither of them is in touch with the common man. People are hurting and they're debating who eats the fancy sounding lettuce.

This is what we deserve, I suppose. We keep turning to disconnected sociopathic richers to solve our problems, then we're shocked when things just get worse.

Fark both of them!

 
HighOnCraic 2008-08-22 07:01:22 PM  
It's so exotic that when the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor, we ignored it completely. It was just a day of "Meh."

Why do Republicans hate Tom Selleck?
