Hawaiians love Obama. Why not? He is considered one of their own, despite being on the Senate for Illinois. One of perks widely expected to be passed with Obama in office is the Akaka Bill, a provision for native Polynesians in Hawaii to receive the same benefits as Native Americans. It's not as simple as it sounds. The terms of the Akaka Bill touch on controversial issues of questionable linage, racial discrimination, and some kind of "native only" trust fund creeping around here.
