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.
You mean the Granny Obama visited alone when she was dying? The one the daughter-in-law and granddaughters didn’t go to see for a final visit? The one that they didn’t attend the funeral?
The days activities made for lots of family photo ops for the local Chicago news. He doesn’t have a record to run on. The push is on to portray him as a wonderful family man.....
Yes.
Yes.

O Good Lord - not just sleeveless, but a racer back dress! Yuck!!
And the print makes her thighs look huge.
Embarrassing.
Oh good grief.
Does she practice posing with her hand in front of her crotch?
Here is one for the record keepers.
2009 to 2012: we have seen more crotch scratching nipple showing, bra lines, wedgies, panty lines, a strange penis looking thing on the FLOTUS (not to mention nekkid MOTUS pics) than any one human should endure.
1789 to 2009: none
"YEAH, YOU with the big ears!"
"What the hell did you do to your Granny??"
"Where's your REAL birth certificate??
"I bet you're NOT smarter than a 5 year old, where's your records??!"
"How'd you get into Harvard Law School, and who paid for it?"
"Where did you get all those Social Security Numbers?"
It is not a pleasant thought to know my brother lies buried in the same ground as Obama’s communist grandfather.
I don’t care how big her butt is, I want her to quit taking vacas on our dime!
