I see that you think Senator Obama should have gone somewhere else (anywhere else!) than Hawai'i for a vacation. Somehow Hawai'i is perceived as "elitist" or "exotic," and that won't play well with the voters. Gosh, you'd think he was staying in Waikiki instead of at a friend's house while visiting his grandmother.
You and your husband Steve should give up your summer home in The Hamptons or Nantucket or wherever and come out here to Hawai'i to live for a while. We'll show you how "exotic" and "elitist" we are as we pay our $4.39/gallon for gas and our $3.49/half-gallon for milk and hold down our 2-3 jobs in order to make ends meet.
Maybe you should leave the East Coast once in a while.

This was beyond stupid. Yes, she should leave the east coast now and again and get a grip. I have been to Hawaii enough times now to know that things are way more expensive, but I still suffered from sticker shock this time. Nothing exotic or elitist about that.........Orange juice at $6 something a half gallon. Yikes.... The whole comment made no sense.........
