HONOLULU -- Maya Soetoro-Ng, debuting Saturday as an enthusiastic campaigner for brother Barack Obama, recalled that he could be "bossy" but was never mean to his little sister.

Soetoro-Ng said their mother, Ann Dunham, had a huge impact on Obama before she died in 1995, especially with her community organizing in Africa and Asia.

"She embraced everybody," said Soetoro-Ng, 36. "There was so much good in her that there wasn't any room for smallness or meanness or violence."

She spoke to more than 100 Obama supporters in the state where the Illinois senator was born. Hawaii's Democratic caucus is scheduled for Feb. 19.

1. Isn't it exciting that his sister is getting involved

2. Hawaii is traditionally ignored by Presidential candidates

With him being born there, and his sister still teaching there, I think Hawaii's an Obama lock.
Should we start filling the electoral college map now?

3. I'm sure "Hawaii's third Senator" will have the support of the Islands!

That's great his sister is stepping forward.
