USA Today: In Hawaii, they’re waiting for the president. First lady Michelle Obama, daughters Malia and Sasha, and dog Bo arrived at the beach community of Kailua over the weekend, but President Obama is still in Washington waiting for the lame duck Congress to war up its pre-Christmas work.
“I’m very excited,” said Virginia Carnohan, owner of The Cottage gift shop about 2 1/2 miles from where the Obama family and friends will spend Christmas and New Year’s. “We have a local boy who’s president and everybody’s very proud of that,” said Chuck Prentiss, chairman of the Kailua Neighborhood Board…..
I thought Michelle and the girls were leaving Saturday? Are they waiting till Wednesday.
They’re in Hawaii already Jessica, arrived Saturday evening.
Oh ok.
*Impatiently waiting for pics of the girls and Michelle enjoying the sun and fun.*
It’s raining in Hawaii. Almost like the storm that’s hitting California. I’m sure once it clears they will enjoy their visit.
LOL, none yet Jessica, they must be hiding from the miserable weather!
I think the sun is waiting for the President, too. Scheduled to arrive on Wednesday or Thursday (both the sun and the President)! Good excuse here in California to stay in and watch all these political shenanigans.
Good one Theo!!!
I think Dante Carpenter, chairman of the Hawaii Democratic Party, said it best:
“I think he’s been up to his eyeballs in horse manure and gun smoke, not necessarily in that order,” Carpenter said. “He may be looking for time with his family and that’s about it. I can’t blame him.”
Summed up perfectly, I hope the Obama’s are able to truly relax and recharge, enjoying family and friends and the Aloha spirit.
Mahalo Chipsticks!
Mele Kalikimaka to the Obamas!
And a Hau’oli Makahiki Hou!
Here’s hoping the entire Obama family have a lovely, restful, safe and well-deserved holiday!!! Shalom!!!
May this wonderful first family enjoy their well-deserved holiday in Hawaii. May they be blessed with peace, joy, rest and restoration, and much love for and to each other–AMEN!
