Hawaiians Welcome Home Barack Obama

"E komo mai," these are the welcoming words awaiting Democrat Presidential Candidate Barack Obama whose scheduled arrival today in the Honolulu International Airport for a public rally is seen most likely to be much more celebrated than Beijing Olympics Opening Ceremonies for Hawaii locals.

Although, Barack never missed a year to visit his hometown to see his sister and grandmother, it is expected by many that this weeklong visit will be much more celebrated than those from the past.

Straight from arrival, the Illinois senator is also scheduled to meet the media roughly around 2:00 P.M. at the Honolulu Airport for a press briefing.

To ensure Obama's safety, he will be accompanied by secret cervice and a big entourage of campaign staff.

Obama initially planned to get some rest after an exhausting 17-week campaign trail, but, realized how Hawaii local well wishers' are very eager to see him and express their all-out support in his candidacy, and with no fuss, he just gave in.

Some people are saying that, although, Hawaii is one State where Obama's victory is strongly forecasted, it is still a must for him to have a homecoming and bond with his families, relatives and friends.

Also in his itinerary is to attend a sold out $2,300 plate private fundraiser at The Kahala Hotel & Resort on Tuesday.

Fellow Punahou alumnus are also very excited to see Barack Obama and to extend their all-out support as well.

Meanwhile, gates of Ke' ehi Lagoon Beach Park will be open as early as 12:30 P.M. for the public.
