| What impact will Barack Obama have on the world? |

United States
Inappropriate choices for answers. None of the above seem even slightly applicable to me.
I agree. I do not think he will be all sunshine and roses and happiness but I also don't think that he will completely screw things up.

Obama was born in Hawaii, however Obama is NOT a Hawaiian.
True. He's an America who was born in Hawaii.
If you're born in Hawaii, you're technically Hawaiian. Not Hawaiian ethnicity, but Hawaiian "nationality" if you know what I mean. Sheesh!
No, that's incorrect. There is no Hawaiian "nationality." You are only Hawaiian if you are Hawaiian ethnically.
I meant someone from Hawaii. Honestly, it is indeed possible to simply take things at face value. The question was not intended to be serious. I am a Michiganian because I was born in Michigan. Am I ethnically of one of the ethnic groups traditionally from Michigan? No. But I am from Michigan, and my point was that he is Hawaiian in the sense of being born in/from Hawaii.
Except that the word "Hawaiian" is not appropriate in that context. Any more than it would be appropriate to call a white person from Arabia and Arab, or a white person from India an Indian.
Someone from Alaska is "Alaskan". Someone from California is "Californian". Someone from Iowa is "Iowan". It is entirely appropriate because I did not mean it in the context of "a person who is ethnically Hawaiian", as I explained.
The public has been kept ignorant about HI's current situation for too long. Yes, there IS a Hawaiian nationality. Always have been more so since 1840. Can you prove to me how the US has signed a treaty of cession? We already know there wasn't a war.
I understand what you mean vis a vis the Kingdom of Hawaii, but what I was trying to explain is that being in Hawaii... even being born in Hawaii does not make one a "Hawaiian."
I'm from Michigan. I am a "Michigander" (Michiganian if you like, but then I throw you off the Mackinac Bridge). Read my other comment; I meant it in the context of being *from or born in* Hawaii. And, actually, to follow on from your other comment, I would certainly call a white person from India an Indian. They are Indian by nationality, if not by ethnicity.
Also, I fail to understand why everyone makes such a big deal out of such an incredibly minor issue. It was meant jokingly; can we please take five minutes to carefully consider the meaning of the word "hu-mor" before carrying on?
Oh, no one has any sense of humor... ^_^
Yeah...i do. I was born in Italy to parents in the Air Force. I am American. I am not Italian because I was born in Italy. I just have duel citizenship because of my birth certificate. BUT???? Has there been a question about Obama's birth certifate?
A question raised by charlatans and answered by the Hawaii State Department of Health. His birth certificate is genuine.
Just wondering where I said anything about a question about his birth certificate... if it's in reference to the Hawaii bit, Hawaii is a part of the US. So I certainly wasn't implying he's not an American citizen.
ha ha so far 44% say he will make the country adored. they cant be serious!?
