Barack Obama ends Hawaii holiday looking tired President Barack Obama appeared far from refreshed towards the end of his winter break in Hawaii but his daughters enjoyed trying out a surf board.

His care-free children Sasha and Malia were spotted smiling and playing with friends as they took to the water.
But in sharp contrast, Mr Obama looked weary, as if the repeated interruptions to his family holiday had taken their toll.
He has had to address criticism over national security after it appeared that a lack of communication between government agencies allowed the Nigerian syringe bomber Umar Farouk Abdul Mutallab to attempt to blow up an airliner as it prepared to land in Detroit.
He also faced the grim news that seven CIA operatives had been killed in a suicide bombing in Afghanistan.
An aide insisted the 48-year-old US president had found his holiday "rejuvenating", and Mr Obama managed to spend five hours on the golf course on New Year's Eve and take his family to see the film Avatar.
But his greying hair and drawn look in a photograph taken on Thursday seemed light years away from his bright-eyed appearance at his inauguration less than a year ago.

He needs to head back the oval office so he can get some sleep.
Things are beginning to dawn on him that he has destroyed much of the America that he has to live with.
<">
(ok - Penn won over LSU, waiting for the Rose Bowl - GO DUCKS!!!!)
Poor wittle baby, is life hard? Does he need a woobie?
Maybe he needs to take a long vacation after he gets back .. or better yet, just stay there, Barry.
He looks exactly like Juan Williams from that angle in the photo.
we would be glad to give him his old job back, if this one isn’t as cool as he thought it would be. or perhaps even the job before that.
Given barack never had a hard job in his life and ends up taking the hardest one in the world (unfortunately with our lives, both physical and economic at risk) he’s “tired”. Just wait, you lightweight phoney, it’s going to get real hard and we’re the ones that will be taking the punches. What a dreamin’ fool and worse, the portion of the american public that is either infantile or dependent on government handouts voted this twit in for four years. God help us.
FUBO...RESIGN AND GET AS MUCH SLEEP AS YOU WANT.
Oh PU-LEASE! ... Give me a frickin break! Poor, misunderstood, overworked, bogged-down in the trenches...CRY ME A FRICKIN RIVER, OKAY! Who gives a royal rat's a$$!!!!
He can always just resign if its too much i won’t have any less of an opinion of him than i do now
I guess being president is not as easy as being a community organizer.
Gosh....good thing President Bush never had to deal with inconveniences like this. Or Reagan. Or Bush 41...
Obama you suck.
Every time I turn on the news, you are on a frackin vacation.
Mo and Bo act like they won the Great Vacation Sweepstakes.
So now, he’s a tired ‘tard instead of just a plan ‘tard.
No president has taken as many vacations in an entire term than this one has in his first year, and yet we hear whining...
