KAILUA, Hawaii (Reuters) - Vacationing President Barack Obama interrupted a golf game on Monday and sped back to his holiday house after the child of friends was hurt in a beach accident.
Obama, on vacation in the island state where he grew up, raced home in his motorcade in a bit of high drama shortly after arriving at a lush golf course for an afternoon game.
The child, identified by the White House as the son of Obama's friends Eric and Cheryl Whitaker, is now well and did not require stitches as first suggested, an official said.
"Eric and Cheryl Whitaker's son was examined and released from the hospital. He is home playing with his friends and just fine," said White House spokesman Bill Burton.
Eric Whitaker had been in the president's golfing party when word reached them that the boy had been injured. An ambulance with flashing lights sped past a van of reporters near the family compound after the president's arrival.
The ambulance later drove off with lights still flashing and Obama returned to the golf course to play.

I wonder if even apolitical Americans, who have never heard of National Review (or The Nation), will read headlines like these and wonder if the President gives a damn. I think Flight 253 could become Obama's Katrina (except that the media is on his side but certainly not Bush's).
“Cheryl Whitaker, is now well and did not require stitches as first suggested, an official said”
I’m assuming she did not need stitches because Obama had already healed her?
He is a muslim.
Shows what a milquetoast wuss he is. A kid bumps his head and his wife calls him shrieking that he has to come racing home.
Doofus drops everything and runs home creating a furor and the kid doesn’t even need a single stitch or a cast.
Crybabies and professional whiners... Obama is the wuss that has to drop everything and run home when Bigfoot throws hysterics. The stupid wookie couldn’t even open a package of band-aids without shreiking for Bambi to come racing home with his motorcycle escorts.
*****raced home in his motorcade in a bit of high drama shortly after arriving at a lush golf course ****
Well isn’t that special..........
Biden said he would be tested...
LOL!
Bad enough he had golfus interruptus to speak to the American people, but golfus interruptus a second time!
How sad for the tired overworked presidente.
The kid got an owie and they rushed them off in an ambulance with the lights flashing.
Sounds like another case for Whaaaaambulance Five O, a new series slated to be aired in the spring.
All this fuss over a scratch, and Obama took three days to address the Christmas attack on a jetliner.
Wow...
“Child falls. The alarm sounds go off. And who comes to the rescue with a band-aid, why it’s POTUS and company, the power behind Whaaaambulance Five O.” Look at them whip into action! Now this is what an action show should be!
Just don’t call if an airliner nearly gets taken out. A three day response time is hardly the stuff for Whaaaaambulance Five O.
Yeah, and think of the potential for accidents with a speeding ambulance going to the scene - have these people never heard of driving a kid with a boo-boo to the ER themselves? I mean, it’s not as if it was one of the Obama girls who would require SS protection. Sheesh.
Who is Eric Whitaker ?
Very funny, thanks for the laugh!
Eric Whitaker, Michelle's old boss.
Who’s gonna pay that ambulance and hospital bill? For what? Some sort of bump on the head? These people get more and more dispicable every day.
Could you imagine what would have happened if - God forbid - Michelle or one of her little angels actually broke a nail?
They would have mobilized the Hawaii National Guard.

Let’s see here, some kid gets an owie while playing in the water.
Waiting, waiting, waiting...........Nope, I still don’t care.
What part did he play in that corruption involving the bribe paid to Michelle Obama disguised as some 'no-show' job for which she was wholly unqualified, and that Barack Obama funded for $5million of taxpayers' dollars?
