"You Can Feel His Aloha" (Does This Qualify as Celebrity Worship in Politics?)

From the Honolulu Star Bulletin:

"He's genuine. You can feel his aloha," said 41-year-old Sama Evaimalo, a Hanauma Bay tram dispatcher. "I never voted in my life, and I said I was going to vote if it was a woman or a black man that was running."

And if we can't feel his aloha, what then?

Also, will Obama let Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Hugo Chavez, and Valdimir Putin feel his aloha?
