Presidential Vacation In Hawaii Begins With An Obama Staple: Golf Obama In Hawaii President Obama's motorcade leaves his vacation residence in Kailua as he goes to play golf at nearby Marine Corps Base Hawaii. By MICHAEL A. MEMOLI

A familiar start to President Obama's Hawaii vacation: golf Obama will spend more than two weeks in Hawaii for holiday getaway Far removed -- at least physically -- from the concerns of Washington, President Obama commenced the familiar rituals of his annual holiday getaway to his home state of Hawaii on Saturday, starting with a round of golf.

Roughly 12 hours after he and the first family touched down in the Aloha State, the president hit the links in a foursome that included some longtime local friends on the grounds of Marine Corps Base Hawaii, a short drive from his temporary abode in Kailua on the northeastern shore of Oahu.

For just the second time in his presidency, but the second year in a row, the president traveled to Hawaii free of a major crisis or legislative deadline. Congress wrapped up its work earlier this week, which allowed the president to make an on-time departure Friday night after something of a victory lap in the White House briefing room earlier in the day to highlight what he called a "breakthrough year for America."

As usual, the LA Slime is all too ebullient to report on the feckless fool on the hill's golf adventures, but we have to rely on the foreign press to find out what the most important facts on this regime are. The LA Slime is a pathetic example of a useful idiot.

I dislike Obama. He disgusts me. But I won't badmouth him for taking a vacation. All presidents do that. Hawaii is just one of 50 States. I was married there. It's a pretty ordinary place once you get over the great weather.

On the golf course you can have unrestricted, uninterrupted, secure communications with anyone to discuss anything. Perfect cover.

I understand that. But they deserve some recreation.

To shut out Obama at their expense is not a good deal.

Has Obama issued any statement yet on the police officers' murders?

Has he made any phone calls to the families?

If anyone has any links to same, would you please post them?

I'm not holding my breath, lol.

He released three more ragheads from Gitmo today. Why didn’t he send them to Hawaii. They could have caddied for him and his faithful partner. Plus one extra to carry the ammo.
