Obamas pay tribute to family history in Hawaii By Alicia M. Cohn - 01/01/12 05:14 PM ET
President Obama and the First Family spent the first day of the new year paying tribute to the president's past in Hawaii.
Far from the hustle of Republican candidates vying for votes on one of the last days before the first GOP primary vote in Iowa taking place this Tuesday, the Obamas enjoyed the second week of their Hawaiian vacation.
Following a visit to the gym, Obama joined his family on a drive across the island of Oahu on a partly-cloudy but warm Sunday morning to visit the grave of the president's grandfather, Stanley Dunham, at National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific, Punchbowl.
Obama visited the grave site during the family's Hawaiian Christmas vacation last year as well.
The Obamas spent about 11 minutes at the grave, then proceeded to Honolulu's East-West Center. The East-West Arts Program is hosting an exhibition until Jan. 8 honoring the anthropological work of Obama's late mother, S. Ann Dunham.
The exhibit is titled, "Through Her Eyes: Ann Dunham's Field Work in Indonesia." They were joined there by the president's half-sister, Maya Soetoro-Ng, and her family.
The family avoided the press for the most part during both visits, although the White House confirmed that the Obamas visited both locations as a family.
Obama plans to return to Washington, D.C. early this week. According to CNN, he will address supporters in Iowa through an online forum on Tuesday even as the caucus results are being counted by Iowa's Republican Party.
Will all the blood relatives who live in Hawaii be attending the party?
Pays or paid off?
Ann Dunham’s ‘field work’ in Indonesia?
Bet she cut a wide swath there too.
Fast forward to 4 min 23 seconds:
Granny Kenya spills the beans, niiiice & pretty, yup.

Our POTUS is NOT the POTUS, and he’s not completely straight, and he’s not drug-fee, and he’s probably not Christian.
And he’s not a non machine-gun smuggler, either.
And inconvenienced thousands of Honoluluans due to their traveling fortress jaunting back and forth across town on a holiday.
May I be the first and maybe only to say............pffftttttttttttttttttt!
BECAUSE,,, what I really want to say is not really nice....so 1@#$%^&*)&^%^(%%**%$%*_+_)(*&^%$#@#$%^& and for good measure.....###@#@#~!
Interesting that Granny wasn’t buried beside her husband...
Instead she was grabbed up and burned to ashes before anybody had a chance to look over her body...
Would her work garner any notice at all if he were not President? Just asking ....
He spent a couple years living in the gutter at Columbia University. When is he going to return there for old times sake?
I guess I missed this about SAD, but I did know about her work as a photo model.
Car drives to grave site, Obama family exits car, walks to grave, immediately returns to car.
Elasped time: "about 11 minutes".
Gotta keep the lie alive ya know. Say it over and over till someone believes it...not me you stinking kenyan liar.
Probably when they offer annual $1,000,000 Lecture Chair, a lease without cost on a $88,000,000 Penthouse (no not the magazine, he’d not that type), a credit card gift $10,000,000 and group sex with his old schoolmates and political supporters. Oh, and a Permanent Chair in Black/White relations awarded to Rev Wright.
And private school tuition for his daughters and a weekly luncheon for his his wife, the famous Chicago Ward Heeler’s Daughter, with Rev Sharpton.
Obama plans to return to Washington, D.C. early this week. According to CNN, he will address supporters in Iowa through an online forum on Tuesday even as the caucus results are being counted by Iowa's Republican Party.
I notice that it did not say the obama's. Is MO planning on stretching out the vacation ?
Nobody mentions it much anymore, but I still would like to know who snuffed typical white granny on election night.
It IS an election year, after all.
