KANEOHE BAY, Hawaii - President Barack Obama is playing golf with friends from Hawaii and Chicago on the second full day of his Hawaii vacation.
The president's motorcade traveled a few minutes from his vacation home to the golf course at the Marine Corps base in Kaneohe Bay on Saturday morning.
The Kaneohe Klipper golf course overlooks the Pacific Ocean, and is well-known among island golfers as a scenic course.
Obama is playing with Greg Orme, Mike Ramos, and Bobby Titcomb -- all from Hawaii -- and Eric Whitaker, a friend from Chicago.
Earlier in the day, Obama and his wife worked out at the Marine Corps base gym.

Unexpectedly, i’m sure. ;o)
MSM is nothing but a WH mouthpiece. Conference call lasted less than 13 minutes.

HONOLULU President Barack Obama’s security teams are briefing the vacationing commander in chief on threats facing the United States, including what progress law enforcement officials are making in investigating a terror attack aboard a Detroit-bound airplane.
Obama on Saturday spoke with homeland security adviser John Brennan and a top National Security Council official, Denis McDonough. The group spoke at 6:20 a.m. local time in Hawaii. Obama’s motorcade left his rented vacation estate for the gym at 6:33 a.m.
White House spokesman Bill Burton says the president is continuing to monitor the situation.

Every penny you have, and then some.
I read in the Post this AM that he and Michelle got up at 6:40 to “work-out” on Christmas morning. No church either. I guess this means no presents for the girls but at least their parents feel good.

“He sucks.”

He's not resting though...
Are you chittin' me? I haven't paid any attention to this but if this vacation is anything like the vacation that he took to the Grand Canyon-Yellowstone last summer, there isn't another group on the course. He had those parks shut down while he was there so that he and that tribe of relatives that he runs around with wouldn't have to associate with the unwashed.
0 likes his privacy and he doesn't give a rats azz who gets displaced in order for him to get his way.
After all--"He won!"
How big is his entourage?

Mr. Obama has no relatives remaining in Hawaii since his grandmother died last year and his sister, Maya Soetoro-Ng, moved to Washington this year. But he has brought his family here nearly every Christmas since he and his wife, Michelle, had their daughters, Malia, 11, and Sasha, 8. This year, Mr. Obama brought his sister and close friends Eric Whitaker and Marty Nesbitt and their spouses.
Valerie Jarrett, another friend who now serves as a senior White House adviser, also joined the relatives and friends staying in two neighboring rental houses in Kailua. Ms. Jarrett said the setting had a rejuvenating effect on Mr. Obama. His visits allow him to reconnect with his roots and cherished childhood memories, she said.
You know obozo deserves a vacation cause its dam hard work to RUIN AMERICA! 200 years of hard work and o is a wreaking ball...hurry 2012
I think so too...
Doofus on vacation yet AGAIN...
Golf scores kept with birth certificate.
Why wouldn't he? After all, there was a terrorist near-miss today. No cutting golf games short! It's not like the Northwest Airline incident rises to the level of a GOLF GAME!
What a f***in' poser this Kenyan bastard is.
For a few minutes perhaps (he would have been interrupted and advised about the inicident).
Ehh, Zero and his relatives are the "unwashed", as well as being uncouth, untoward, unsavory, unproductive, and mostly, unemployed.
“How has his golf game been characterized, if at all?”
It’s been a well kept secret, but his golf game sucks! Doubt he broke 130 today. Here’s a link:

BTW- Playing in a 5-some is banned at most all courses because the pace of play is so slow. He could care less about etiquette however.
He better not stand under any tall trees during a rainstorm for the rest of his vacation.
