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)

Nothing is ever the Kenyan’s fault.

Did you hear that, Hawaii? It’s YOUR fault he’s lazy!

My DIL is Hawaiian and there isn’t a lazy bone in her body.

This guy is a joke-—the problem is the joke’s on us.

We know you are damn lazy.

Get your feet off the WH furniture and at least show some respect for the country and its traditions!

I thought the stereotype was that Asians were hard working.

For some reason that reminds me of the Triumph The Insult Comic Dog’s deal on the ‘Poor Hawaii’ weather skit. Maybe somebody can find it?

Welfare is something you get for doing nothing. I guess our president is getting the biggest welfare check on record.

He sounds pretty typical to me.

He doesn’t come from people that are known for their industry.

His father whoever that was(OBama or Frank Davis) never worked too hard, neither does his Aunt Zuni, or his Uncle who is here illegally.

“...nothing frustrates me more than when people aren’t doing their jobs...”

...and he thinks he is “doing a job”? [Insert bloodcurdling scream here...]

didn't he leave Hawaii after high school???

how often did he return to Hawaii before becoming president?

His background history is so murky its hard for us average American to know what is true and what is phony!!!

after all he keeps it all locked up, but someday Americans may learn the truth....HOPEFULLY

He makes me physically ill...

just hope he leaves our White House in Jan. 2013

Thanks 2ndDivisionVet.
"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."

I'm the last guy to defend Barky, but laying on a beach in Kauai is narcolepticly bucolic.
