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’s either practicing his golf swing or indulging in some REAL wishful thinking...
Wow, that job aged GWB 20 yrs or more, Clinton was infamous for messing around with makeup and his hair color depending on the audience.
BTW I am beginning to think the thrill is definitely gone for Juan Williams. (Lib that he is, he is a good man. I like him)
“Every time I see that picture, I ask myself what happened. It seems so long ago. I had such hopes. Why aren’t the trains running on time? Why are we having problems with the locals in Somalia again? Why don’t the other dictators respect us?”
Benito Mussolini, 1936
President who?
Oh the wait of sin....lie, cheat, steal...
“Obama is failing because he has no understanding of the American people, and may indeed loathe them.”
The feeling is indeed very, very mutual.
Tailparty for Da Bears.
Er, uhm, ah ... Do you think he noticed that Camp David is just up the road a “cheap” helicopter ride 1/2 hour away?
The feeling is indeed very, very mutual.
THE PANTY PRESIDENT...HE GROWS MORE OFFENSIVE EVERY DAY...
He’s sick. Wonder what it is. I bet the media has suspicions and these articles about him being “tired” are preparing possible news on his health. Rush looked better in the hosptial today than Obama looks on the golf courses.
He should resign for health reasons....
Maybe 0bama’s tired from playing so much basketball.
Worn out lungs and a lack of blood oxygen (purple lips) make recovery that much more difficult.
0bama will simply not “age before our eyes” from stress, like past Presidents, as 0bama does not care about America
No, having a wee wee moment..
I don’t think there is any question about the loathing, or he would not be trying to destroy America with such vigor, despite his reported fatigue. We would be better off if he curled up in a fetal position for the next 3 long years.
What makes you think he is sick? We should be so lucky. He will live long and heathly just like OJ. Only the good go.
He’s lost weight. Weak and ashy looking. Dropped that goofy grin. A man that age usually puts on weight.
