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.

Paging Michael Moore, Paging Michael Moore.. I seem to recall this was a big deal for you several years ago.. at least the President he complained about actually worked on his vacation instead of whining like a little two year old he was interrupted from his nappy time.
Now he has to go back to the endlessly tiring job of flying around the world and telling everyone how much of a flawed country America is. How we make mistakes, that we’re not perfect, and other countries have a legitimate reason to criticize us.
Someone forgot to mention to the Child King that the job of POTUS sucks the life out of the men who have held it in the past, compare GWB in 2000 to GWB in 2009.
And this is merely Yr 1.
Courage their Caeser.

I’d rather have Juan as president, he’s a lib but at least he’s usually intellectually honest.
Better Juan than BO.
Behold the cup handle schnozz! A few more photos like that and his popularity with the young and stupid will vanish.
And he never was popular with any others.
I thought he was the Black Kennedy, the most energetic President in US history...oh, wait, JFK spent half his Presidency on his back from Addisons and a Prescription drug habit (and the other half putting women on their back),.
wittle Bambi needs his bobble and a blanky.
Well, age 48 is a bit old to be working at your first real job, so naturally he’s going to be fatigued!/s
“..no understanding of the American people...”
Nailed it, Obama has no empathy skills...none...he is a bit like a Mortician crossed with a Ivy League College Professor.
What interruptions? Making a five minute statement? Obama looks like a tired old man. Maybe he’s realized being President isn’t like campaigning.
Yup, there’s no odor emenating from Juan. All we’re smelling these days is BO.
