The president, first lady Michelle Obama, daughters Sasha and Malia, and first dogs Sunny and Bo hopped an overnight flight Friday aboard Air Force One to Honolulu, where they were whisked by motorcade to a beachside home in Kailua, a sleepy suburb with a five-mile stretch of beach popular among windsurfers and tourists.

The president has no public events scheduled during his vacation, which is expected to last through Jan. 5. In previous years, frequent golf outings have accompanied trips to local restaurants and other island outings.

Conditions seem ripe this year for a few weeks of interrupted family time. Obama did spend part of Saturday morning conferring with top national security aides about the situation in South Sudan, where U.S. military aircraft evacuating Americans from the violence-plagued African nation came under gunfire and had to divert to Uganda. The White House said four U.S. troops were injured in that incident.
Throughout his vacation Obama will continue to get regular briefings from advisers traveling with him, White House officials said. Obama and his supporters were hoping those routine updates wouldn't interfere with regular rounds of golf and family outings for shave ice, the Hawaii version of a snow cone.
"I don't want any interruptions. He deserves a vacation," Brian Pritchett, an assistant principal visiting from Mount Vernon, N.Y., said as he sipped a rum-infused drink dubbed the "Obama Mama" at a Honolulu hotel. "He puts in too many hours to not have his vacation with his family. I know that's what I would do."

I always worry when they all leave the country....means we are vulnerable...
Poor guy he has it so hard!
Must be hard to have to depend on Air Force 1 to jet you around, never had to wait traffic and be waited on hand and foot and play non-stop golf in Hawaii.
We gotta somehow figure out how to deny him access back into the continental US.
Marcia! Marcia! Marcia! (Right? Whud I win ‘gator?)
An earlier post suggested that Hawaii should not have become the 50th state - if you drop it now, he may have to present a passport.
Today, Barry has spent about $235349.12 on his Christmas vacation. Not to worry though. He’s paying for it out of his own pocket...with our money.
While the rest of us hope for the largest Hawaiian Volcanic Eruption in recorded History.
Memo to self, don’t send your Children to School in Mount Vernon, New York.
maybe the island will flip over
That is interesting. He would have to provide a passport.
I wonder which one of the two dozen or more Social Security numbers he stole did he use to get his passport?
>”maybe the island will flip over”<
Depends where Moochelle is standing when Hillary decides to come by and say hello.
ROFL Is that pic from the Brady Bunch? If it is...I agree hope he has it handing around his neck =)

” drink dubbed the “Obama Mama”
Wow I didn’t know the Wookie had a drink named after her =)
Bet he doesn’t have one.
Wow I didnt know the Wookie had a drink named after her =)
I did, it’s called a double, set me up again bartender.
He didn't have his magic mojo back then where he is able to make people do stuff just cause they think he is their Messiah.
Passport is now expired. It sure would be interesting to look at now.
Obama probably has the older daughter Malia (?) watch Fox for him. Malia then reports (in cursive) back to Mommy, who filters the news even more, making it almost digestible for Obama’s delicate condition.
I almost vomited when I read “He puts in too many hours” from some dummy tourist from New York. Interfere with his golf games? NOTHING interferes with his golf games.
I’ll never understand why blacks and poor people will support people like this and actually believe they care about them.
