HONOLULU (AP) – President Barack Obama has been lauding the sunny hospitality of his native Hawaii as he hosts the Asia-Pacific summit in Honolulu.
But he told an audience of business leaders on Saturday that his business formal look feels "a little odd." He said in all his years living in and visiting the state, this is the first time he’s ever worn a suit.
He also had time for a little birther humor, telling executives he could show them the hospital where he was born if they wanted.
First lady Michelle Obama, meanwhile, is helping ensure the APEC summit doesn’t just look Hawaiian, it tastes Hawaiian — with locally grown, certified organic produce from a farm that promotes the culture of native Hawaiians.
On Saturday, Mrs. Obama toured MA’O Organic Farms in rural Waianae, a 45-minute drive from Honolulu in western Oahu.
