President Obama and his Hawaiian vacation party, fresh from watching Ohio State defeat Oregon in the Rose Bowl, took a late afternoon New Year's Day trip to Island Snow shave ice and clothing store--one of the Obama's favorite haunts in Kailua.
The large Obama tribe -- which included Malia, Sasha, family friends Marty Nesbitt and his family, Eric Whitaker and his family, island golfing buddies Greg Orme and Mike Ramos and others--ordered 19 shave ice cones in all the various flavors and colors of the rainbow, seven of them with ice cream on the bottom. There were so many orders, Obama had to consult a cheat sheet with all of them written down. First Lady Michelle Obama didnt make the outing.
Asked if he was gonna add the traditional Japanese adzuki beans to his order, the president replied, "No. I like my shave ice straight. No frills."
Obama's "snowbama" order included lemon-lime, cherry and passion guava flavors.
The president, who was sporting shades indoors and was clad in a plain tee shirt and shorts, commiserated with Oregon fan Orme and tried to cheer him up by saying Ohio State fan Nesbitt would pay for his shave ice cone.
Once outside, daughter Malia could be seen sampling her dad's concoction. Small but vocal crowds gathered in the parking lot of the tiny store to applaud and wave to the president. Mr. Obama waved back as he jumped back into his black SUV for the ride back to his vacation rental.

If he was a real man he would of had the Spam ice
with bacon on the bottom.
Actually it was his mini-prompter.
Plenty of shaved ice and other ice here. 8 degrees F. tonight.
*snicker*
..now cruel, insulting all those poor (intelligent,
when compared to std. liberal voters) Jackasses.....
;^)
That’s cold...got up to about 75 today, 67 degrees now at 445pm, clear, sunny...Of course, I really feel guilty, as I’m in So. Cal and we had no idea who was playing in the Rose Bowl...We only found out this afternoon...lol..
Couldn’t ACORN have done that for him?
Bush was fond of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches,and he made his own sandwiches. Would this president require a staff for that?
Zero would probably have Biden make his PB&J sandwiches.
There’s an irony to how these “Tired Obama” articles are being run while the man is vacationing in Hawaii.
“Shave ice”. Is that something like “steam rice”?
lol - You have a point. At least a real jackass is useful at something.
LOL!!!!!
On the the other hand go ahead.
Hehehe.
I cannot believe the President would show his face in public in a Hanes Tshirt! Can’t he get a nice golf shirt or something? He looks like he’s ready to paint the house or something. jeez!
Mark Twain, "Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court", right? The first court newspaper, I seem to recall (can't find my ancient copy of the book at the moment...)
Really good one!!
Yes! Clarence’s “Court Circular”. Hurray for the Internet and Google Books search...
