Obama ends Hawaiian holiday, returns to Washington (AP-"hardly the holiday most Americans seek")
Washington Post (AP) ^ | January 4, 2010 | PHILIP ELLIOTT

HONOLULU -- President Barack Obama ended a Hawaiian vacation to return Monday to the Washington he never really escaped.

Obama and his family boarded Air Force One on Sunday evening for an overnight flight, capping off an 11-day trip that would be remembered more for an al-Qaida affiliate's botched attempt to bring down a Christmas Day flight about to land in Detroit from Amsterdam rather than the hours spent on golf courses or at luaus. The failed terror attack refocused the president's trip from R&R on the island of Oahu to a river of memos from homeland security aides.

Hey he did not even get his leisure activities interrupted as much as if he had book a trip with attendance at a condo- -selling seminar required as part of a subsidized room rate.

Is the AP implying Zero was clueless about the job?

When do his daughters start back at their exclusive private school.

That is probably driving the schedule more than anything else.

Check the girls next school break and you will see another trip appear on the President’s docket.

Oh good grief... cry me a river. That's all this idiot has done is escape Washington D.C..

He certainly isn't doing a thing but making things worse economically, and has no clue how to fight terrorism.

AP continues the delusion.

That's odd. I don't remember the press ever mentioning that President Bush never really excaped Washington on holidays. Earth to Obama: It's a freakin' 24 hr job. You're expected to be on call.

Once again, we see the male out walking a few paces ahead of the woman and children.

Can we also start a lottery as to when his next golf outing will be ?

Or does he have another trip around the world to embarass us some more ?

a freeper said that the scar on Obama’s head is exactly like the one he has and in the same place..and he had a brain tumor surgery 20 years ago.

Maybe this accounts for his missing time period.

Two weeks of the media grinding out tripe to cover the unqualified boy-kings @ss. Two weeks of stories that include the obligatory references of the “birth hospital” and how this is not reeeeally a vacation. May they all get pink slips this year for helping elect and continue to cover for this nightmare.

I thought when you ran for and then won the POTUS your expectations of a normal life were put on hold and all of your efforts were put toward the job. Especially during a time of crisis and trials of many kinds. This isn’t just another ‘job’, it is the POTUS!

That's a great observation. I wonder if I can find enough photos for a video? Send me any you have. Thanks.

Did her hair stylist not arrive on time?? She OBVIOUSLY doesn’t have a fashion advisor (feed bag dress) but I thought for sure she’d have a stylist.....
