Aloha APEC
It's great to be home from my triumphant four country Asian tour.One of the highlights of my trip was attending the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Summit in Singapore.
These APEC Summits used to be a real bore until they started having the world leaders dress up in the hosting country's native attire.
Prior to that tradition, we couldn't even get the media to cover the event. But now, the fun photos are breaking news. In Singapore, we wore a Peranakan-inspired blouse with a mandarin collar!
I am proud to announce that the 2011 APEC Summit will be held in my home state of Hawaii. Help choose which traditional Hawaii costume the APEC leaders will wear for the big event.

Nope, this is not the official website of The White House. It's a parody of whitehouse.gov. No person, department, or agency of the U.S. Government
approved, endorsed, or authorized this site. No animals were harmed while making this website (except maybe
that one time when I was a little late feeding my dog his dinner).
