First family lunches at Side Street Inn
The first family is having a Christmas Eve lunch at Side Street Inn near Ala Moana, according to a White House travel pool report.
The Obamas left their Kailua rental at 12:52 p.m. and arrived at the restaurant about a half hour later.
Earlier this morning, President Obama worked out at the gym at Marine Corps Base Hawaii.
The roads near the first family’s vacation rental home in Kailua are quieter than usual this morning, although several small groups of people still waited on the side of the road to wave at and photograph the presidential motorcade driving by.
The Obamas are spending their annual two-week winter vacation on the island of Oahu in Obama’s home state.

such a man of dignity!
Taking selfies at a funeral doesn’t project ‘dignity.’
Allie, you are being facetious aren’t you? January 20 can’t come fast enough. The stench around Obama is stinking up the place.
Allie, I wish you a joyous Christmas. I can look back and you can look forward. I wish you the best.
Cellodad, you and Allie should hook up. Birds of a feather flock together.
hugs her cello
Remembering Heinrich Schiff, cellist & conductor. RIP
Such a pompous man!
Pompous? Trump sits on what is literally a gold throne in Trump Tower.
Grow up.
Who care’s about his golfing, workouts, and cojonehuggers on the side of the road. Look what he’s really doing while he’s on “vacation”….
“The Obama administration rushed Thursday to cancel a program set up in the wake of Sept. 11 to track and deport illegal immigrant Muslim and Arab men, hoping to hinder President-elect Donald Trump’s plans to impose “extreme vetting” on Muslim visitors.”
This man does not care about your safety. Even while on vacation he continues to stab every American in the back.
hey opala, go already!!
Perfect!
Aaah, the lame attempt at prose by AP hacks: The sun is shining brightly on the President. Tomorrow he’ll be ascending to the clouds.
Yes. Apotheosis
He seems to be having a really good time in this wonderful state.
First Family needs to go home and I don’t mean Hawaii.
Same to you
Enjoy the meal, enjoy the day, enjoy all that Hawaii offers. Mahalo Nui, safe travels.
And don’t come back.
Same to you
The last of his vacations in sunny Hawaii paid for by the tax payers and means the last of the traffic tie-ups for you locals. Bobby Titcomb will miss the golf games and so will the president’s aides.
cojef, I wish you a joyous Christmas.
The Show must go on !!
I cannot wait for Trump??
I thought he ate only at the high end restaurants and not at ordinary places that us common people go to…..
You were wrong,again.
Probably the most significant thing you could think of to say today…..
Side street pretty good but too pricey for retirees.
Not for the POTUS spending your money.
PEOTUS will be spending more of our money since does not want to live in the White House and Trump has more children thus needing more security.
Home in Hawaii? He doesn’t even own property here, but he owns homes in Chicago and Washington, DC (not the White House). One can only imagine the traffic nightmare due to road closures he has caused around Ala Moana this busy time of year. Of course, he doesn’t care whom he inconveniences as it’s all about him.
Please do your research he does own property here.
I heard Mrs Obama stopped at Angels in the Laie Shopping Center about 3:30pm yesterday……..I missed it.
Do they sell “Hope” at Angels?
Yes, she was there. She heard of a place that specializes in plate lip over bite reconstruction.
For those of you who have uttered such negative comments in response to this article, I would like to remind you that it is Christmas. My mother always taught me that if you can’t say something nice, don’t say anything at all. People who spew negativity are not happy people. Wishing you all happiness and peace…
PS: I got caught in traffic due to the motorcade passing. I just said, ” oh well.” It was not that bad…..
Did anyone ever tell you that you are a worthless piece of garbage?
Where they going next? I guess Haunanauma Bay.
The President stayed sane, perhaps, during eight years of DC madness thanks to his beautiful family and thanks to his beautiful home, our beautiful island paradise. One man doesn’t rule the world. Maybe no man does, after all.
The guy is a joke.
Being born stupid is excusable, but to aspire to it like you is not. Get back to banging your empty head against the wall.
