HONOLULU – More than a week into his Hawaiian holiday, President Barack Obama is proving to be a creature of habit.

While some travelers seek adventure and spontaneity, Obama seeks comfort and consistency. His routine here in Oahu, the island where he was born and mostly raised, is by now patently familiar to the locals trying to catch a glimpse of their hometown president, and the reporters who come here to cover him.

He may be a creature of habit, but his wife is just a creature!

And every Saturday I work in the yard
Pick up the dog do
Hope that it's hard (woof woof)
Take out the garbage and clean out the garage
My wife is a wookie
Her rear end is large
We're just ordinary average guys
Ordinary average guys

What mosque did he attend there?

When did his schooling begin? On Frank Marshall Davis' knee?

If this was Bush, the media would be saying he is not inquisitive or social.

Al Reuters is prohibited by Presidential edict from photographing him working on his tan, and eliminating his pasty pale tanlines.

as if he habitually frequented multimillion dollar houses on the waterfront....

his grandparents spent their entire Honolulu lives in a lousy neighborhood apartment

the one he had cleaned stripped and sanitized 24 hours after his Gran “died” and was cremated
