President Obama may have passed over his native Hawaii to vacation in Martha's Vineyard, but Sen. Daniel Akaka isn't miffed. The president, he says, is unmistakably Hawaiian. The proof: Obama's use of the "shaka sign"—raising a hand with thumb and pinky extended and the other fingers folded over. "That means, 'Hey, everything's OK.' " Akaka adds: "He'll probably come to Hawaii in the winter, when it's cold. I know he loves Hawaii."
