Go Skins Posted November 18, 2013 Report Share Posted November 18, 2013 http://www.examiner.com/article/kailua-tourists-stay-away-why-the-obama-effect-angers-Hawaiians The headline in Monday’s Daily Telegraph read, “Obama effect’ has ruined our secluded Hawaii beach resort, say locals “The US president’s favorite Christmas holiday spot has been blighted by the “Obama effect”, residents complain” Officials in Kailua say that tourists should stay out because of overcrowding. Kailua is a town on the island of Oahu, where President Barack Obama grew up. It is known for its white sandy beaches. But a neighborhood board in the town is asking tourists to keep away. Mr. Obama and his family have visited Kahlua every year at Christmas and that has caused the “Obama effect” of more people visiting that town. The Kailua neighborhood association is upset with bed and breakfast rentals that are leased for short term rentals but without permits. The association says that rental arrangement through services like Air B&B have depleted the supply of housing and made rentals more expensive.
