On 18 December 2016, the DCPosts.com web site published an article reporting that the staff at a restaurant in Hawaii (where the First Family was vacationing) walked out in protest over President Obama's visit: There was no truth to the above-quoted article. DCPosts.com traffics in fake news, and although the site does not carry a readily available disclaimer, several other clues indicate that this article is not on the level. The restaurant's name (Komonawannafeedya) could be a humorous attempt to mimic the Hawaiian language (Come on, I want to feed you), but we found no record of a restaurant bearing that name in Hawaii. Additionally, the photograph included with the article, which supposedly showed the breakfast Obama could have had if he were welcome at the restaurant, wasn't taken at the fictional Komonawannafeedya restaurant but rather was snapped by James Rubio in 2008 at Hawaiian Style Cafe in Waimea. And, of course, no other news outlet reported on this item, which would have been major story had it actually occurred. DCPosts.com is simply a rebranded version of Departed.co, a web site with a history of publishing baseless and inaccurate articles.
