Holiday season extra credit

"Gov. Neil Abercrombie, who knew Mr. Obama’s parents when they were students in 
Honolulu, says that what the president finds here is not so much privacy but 
“acceptability” — the protective cocoon that comes with being in the warm 
embrace of a familiar place, where people regard him as “ohana,” Hawaiian for 
“extended family.”
“He’s not living in isolation; he’s living in the middle of the Kailua 
neighborhood,” the governor said. “So what I mean by acceptability, rather than 
privacy, is that everybody accepts that concept of ohana and family, and that it 
extends to him, most especially to him. We consider him a keiki o ka aina, a 
child of the land.”"
