Your President Formerly Known as Barack Obama

Hello All,

With midterm elections at their end I would like to turn my attention to the future of this country. This Shaka goes out to all the representatives who will be running for Presidential office in 2016. Do not forget the smaller players that are not in the 2 major parties, for they have dedicated just as much time as the Democrats and Republicans. This Shaka equally goes out to all of the young people who have newly voted in this midterm election and the 16 and 17 year old children that will be of age to take place in their first presidential election come 2016. May the hang loose mindset influence you to choose the candidate that will affect USA Merica in the most positive way. Remember, the hang loose mindset begins with the people, although I am the 44th President of the United States, I am still one of you. We are all but a single point in this Universe, let us Unite, and strengthen ourselves. Love must prevail over the hatred so many of us have in this life. Let us all remember the words of Maya Angelou, "Hate. It as has caused a lot of problems in this world, but it has not solved one yet".

Shaka Mahalo,

Brothers and Sisters let me begin with a quote:

"Heroes are remembered, but legends never die. Follow your heart kid; you'll never go wrong." - Babe Ruth in The Sandlot. 

Now I want you all to know that this quote defines the hang loose mindset. Over these two years, I do not plan to be a hero of our generation, I plan to make us all the legendary generation for the future of USA Merica. In order to create this legend we must accept some things.

Far left-winged Democrats, we must understand that religion is something that has been around since the foundation of human culture. We must learn to accept the differing views of those who have grown in this culture, and not disrespect the way they choose to voice their opinions. Understand and Compromise. Far right-winged Conservatives, you must understand that us democrats see the future through scientific innovation, and that some of your religious beliefs may not agree with our beliefs, but we wish to achieve equality for everyone. Please understand that we just as much as you believe in the advancement of society. The lesson here again is Understand and Compromise.

We must all understand and compromise with each other to form a more perfect union. Know that no matter what you choice is, my love is spread throughout all your hearts. Let us create the legend of the hang loose lifestyle!

Shaka Mahalo,

Fellow citizens,

It is unfortunate to learn that the 4 swing states I visited for this midterm election were lost to the Republican party. I understand that my policies may not be perfect, but you must remember that each of the policies I proposed were intended to benefit us all! I will do my best to respect the propositions written by the newly Red USA Merica, because in my heart I know that this respect... is the hang loose mindset. No matter who you voted for yesterday, please be aware that I still love every single one of you. Need not I remind you that I asked for you to vote for whomever you believed to be the best person to help our country attain the hang loose lifestyle.

This Shaka is dedicated to each of the new and repeat governors and senators of each state. May you be blessed by this Shaka, and let it help you guide this newly formed Red USA Merica to be not only a united country but to create the United Universe we all wish to be a part of.

Shaka Mahalo,

A day of celebration today calls for a voice of reason. Please, everybody have a safe Halloween this year. As for me, what am I going to be for Halloween you ask? Simple... a victim... a victim of a Shakattack.

Shaka Mahalo,

It is a great disappointment to hear these dreadful allegations toward the beloved Red Cross foundation. I am stunned to hear that this program has been in a downward spiral over the years, and no longer truly serves the purpose it was originally set out to perform. I am shocked that any organization can publicize an "image" of its positive motives, but not carry out with actually helping those in need. Multiple interviews have been conducted with current and former employees of Red Cross, and these employees have confirmed that the allegations are in fact true (http://www.npr.org/2014/10/29/359365276/on-superstorm-sandy-anniversary-red-cross-under-scrutiny).

Alas, those who have suffered from events such as Hurricane Isaac and Hurricane Sandy, have been helped by others. One story I heard was that one group of people not associated with Red Cross had passed out nearly 8,000 sandwiches daily after Hurricane Sandy. This, my fellow citizens is worthy of many Shakas. My Shaka today is dedicated to those who have worked outside of organizations to do whatever they can to help in relief efforts for natural disasters worldwide. These citizens of the world are clearly doing their best to spread the hang loose lifestyle. Let us all commend these fellow humans and remember to spread the hang loose lifestyle ourselves.

Shaka Mahalo,

For years scientists have been screaming to the general public that we need to each individually do our part to help our planet survive. From recycling, to changing the light bulbs in your home to reduce greenhouse emissions, and even investing in a car to decrease carbon dioxide emissions, it seems that most people at least WANT to do their part in saving the planet.

Today, I  am asking you to throw a big Shaka to this home we call Earth, and instead of creating a to-do list of things you WANT to do to improve the planet; to CARRY-OUT with these things and check off one or more of the items on your list. Wanting to change is never as sweet as making the change. Make the choice that you know will be the right one in your heart. Let us all throw a Shaka to Mother Earth, and do our part!.

Shaka Mahalo,

Taking a day off in the White House, is never truly taking a day off. Having said that, I deeply apologize for not having thrown America, better yet, the Universe a Shaka yesterday.

Today, this Shaka is meant for the tiny speck in this Universe I like to call USA Merica. We are now in season for mid-term elections, and I encourage all of you to take these seriously. We all need to throw a Shaka to a friend in need, and vote on what we truly believe. I'm not saying to vote one way or another, but to vote for the government official, or pass the proposition, you believe in your heart to help unite this Universe and progress our country to the hang loose lifestyle.

Shaka Mahalo,

Today, I take pride in being an American, and being a human in this Universe. Nurse Nina Pham no longer has any trace of Ebola in her body, and will officially be discharged by NIH. This is a valiant step forward in the world of medicine. This shaka goes out to all the doctors and nurses that helped cure her of this infectious disease that we knew not to be fully curable in our dark past. On this wondrous day, may we remember, to hang loose!

Shaka Mahalo,

My fellow citizens it is a great disappointment that the day after I embarked on this peaceful journey our neighboring country Canada has suffered two acts of terrorism. Let us stand together to fight against this injustice, and remember to hang loose! My prayers go out to Cpl. Nathan Cirillo and his family.

Shaka Mahalo,

There are two things in this Universe that I love. The first would be America, and the second would be the rest of the world.

Shaka Mahalo,
