HONOLULU -- President Obama admits says his worst trait is that he's a little bit lazy and blames his Aloha State upbringing for his penchant for taking it easy.
"There is a deep down, underneath all the work I do, I think there's a laziness in me," Obama said in his interview with Barbara Walters that airs Friday night on ABC.
"It's probably from, you know, growing up in Hawaii, and it's sunny outside and sitting on the beach."
Obama said he also deplores laziness in others, saying "nothing frustrates me more than when people aren't doing their jobs."(continued)

Yes he did. I am under the impression he just visited there until he was much older. But this gives them the excuse to traipse Miss Big Butt to ‘his homeland’ to get away from her personal hell, The White House.

Do the Hawaiians mind being called lazy?
Obama said he also deplores laziness in others, saying "nothing frustrates me more than when people aren't doing their jobs."
Laziness for me but not for thee.
That explains why he has a visceral hatred for Americans... they are not doing their job of being Americans... otherwise the nation would have long ago dispatched the POS back to Kenya or the Abyss or whatever dank corner of the universe he slithered out from.

How long was he brought up there?
About eight years, more or less. One thing he'd learned is how to be High Maka Maka.
