Threepeat: President visits same restaurants on this year's vacation as last year's...

After a day of golf, President Obama on Friday night had a long, late dinner in Waikiki, spending more than 3 1/2 hours at Nobu restaurant. Joined by First Lady Obama and an unidentified group of friends, the President arrived at the "perennially hip" Waikiki Parc Hotel at 8:35 PM, home to Nobu, which bills itself as "yet another canvas for Chef Nobu Matsuhisa to display his legendary dishes." The closed-off streets around the hotel filled with excited crowds as word of the President's presence spread through Waikiki.

President Obama likes the the chef's canvas: Nobu was his first dining outing of 2012, when he had dinner there with Mrs. Obama last New Year's Day. The visit makes the President's dining excursions for this year's vacation a threepeat from last year's vacation. During both island getaways, he also dined at Alan Wong's restaurant and dined at Morimoto. Mr. Obama had his annual shave ice run on Thursday, so he's now hit all his favorite hotspots before he leaves for Washington late on Saturday night.

Nobu's pricey menu offers raw and cooked seafood and beef, "Nobu Style," with cold delights such as Nobu Style Sashimi Tacos, Lobster Salad with Spicy Lemon Dressing, Bigeye and Blue Fin Toro. Cooked dishes include Black Cod Saikyo Miso, Squid 'Pasta' with Light Garlic Sauce, Blue Fin Toro Tabanyaki, and Beef Tenderloin. Entrees range in price from $23 to $48, with the Blue Fin going for a much higher market price. Appetizers are between $6 and $25...

Chili for me. And I would rather eat nothing for dinner than dine with Zero the neo-marxist.

President Zero dines sumptuously in Hawaii while his subjects freeze from the results of Hurricane Sandy.

in other news reports, Nero fiddled while Rome burned. If it was good enough for Nero, says Zero...

It would’ve been much easier, nicer, and less inconvenience if they had brought the chef to the Presidential residence instead.

The Rock Star president. Short on substance, but big on the “idol” thing. Miss “W” yet?

You can buy Velveeta with Jalapenos. It isn’t much, but I’ve been known to spend 2 days up a tree living on vienna sausage and granola bars. Sooner or later, if you sit really still, even the smartest big buck will forget you are there!

I guess it doesn’t take much to draw a crowd in Hawaii.

Why would anyone want to see the ugliest couple to ever step into the White House.

And his worshipful followers basked in his reflected decadence. This is classic media coverage and behavior by subjects in countries where the "big man" form of government prevails. The cult of personality maximum leader disease in the US will be its death.

The “excited” crowds were probably pissed their vacations were imposed upon by his excellency and motorcade.

Fellow FReepers posting here like me—who can afford seafood or steak prices at the supermarket, let alone dining out at an upscale eatery.

Of course, no problem for Emperor Obamugabe & his consort, The First Grifter, with his taxpayer-provided salary & perks.

Tuna casserole. Meat is practically out of the question.
