... written in his home state of Hawai'i.
"A President from Hawai'i" by Joanna and Terry Carolan
Barack Obama is the first United States President to be born in Hawai‘i, the Aloha State. A President from Hawai‘i -- originally distributed exclusively in that state -- explores the unique history and cultural traditions of President Obama’s birthplace. In addition to the well-known concept of aloha, it introduces such Hawaiian concepts as kokua (to help), lokahi (unity), and ohana (family), among others, and includes quotes from Barack Obama’s speeches, books, and interviews that reflect and embrace these themes.

Of course, that's not what they're looking for, but sometimes I just try to bury the idjits in facts.
