HONOLULU – Amid a federal investigation into an attempted terrorist attack on Christmas Day, President Obama and first lady Michelle Obama visited with service men and women who were having dinner Friday afternoon at the Marine Corps Base Hawaii.
The Obamas spent about half an hour in the mess hall shaking hands with Marines and their families as they ate traditional holiday fare of turkey, ham, stuffing, corn and broccoli.
“Hi guys, Merry Christmas,” President Obama said as he entered the mess hall from a side door.
The president and the first lady went from table to table, reaching roughly a dozen, asking Marines where they were from and thanking them for their service.

Michelle looks thrilled to be there doesn’t she?
I know I am going to get razed for saying this , but I happen to know quite a few of these Marines who at at MCBH right now ; and I’m glad the Prez stopped into to say Hi . Say what you will , but it’s a nice respect for them and I am sure they dig it . Marines are NOT political guys , they just love their work and love their country and he is the C&C . If he were NOT to drop by ,that would be bad...It did not tick any of them off and I am sure they are all talking about the occasion with family and loved ones all across the nation right now .
Because of where he stays (when on holiday) he goes to MCBH every day to work out . It’s the safest place .So just please get used to this daily interaction . They are used to it and enjoy the PR too . So I have heard . It makes base life more interesting for them . So I have heard m from ‘them’
I think he still has family in Hawaii. 30 minutes with the Marines and he can call it a business trip.
I look at this picture and wonder which one is supposed to be the first lady. Seriously.
It’s Gary Coleman on stilts.
So you say. Who are we to disagree?
These two are unfit to walk the same ground as these fine young men.
He did that “HI Guys” shit (can I say that?) last year. No General Officer or any other officer would greet the service personnel like this. Going into a Marine Mess Hall, once a Marine would see the President, he or she would call Attention and the Marines would stand at attention until told to be at ease..and they would have expected the greeting to be something like, Merry Christmas, Marines” not a Hi Ya..
Good god.
These guys are serving/fighting for America and this turd just got his the votes he needed to turn America into a Fascist society. It’s all unreal.
That would be Marine Corps Air Station, Kanehoe Bay to be a bit more precise. The other Marine Corps installation on the other side if Headquarters, FMFPac.
Michells arms so long she can scratch her ankles without bending over.
My reserve unit went there, way back in 1978.
It brings back good memories.
i swear everything she puts on her back is gross i have no idea what is wrong with her other than the fact she’s blind
Did Michelle walk out with a ham under that dress?
