Aloha, First Family!
America's First family-elect jetted off to a Hawaiian getaway -- complete with sun, sand and golf!
Barack practiced his swing while wife Michelle relaxed on the beach with daughters Sasha, 7, and Malia, 10. The Obamas vacationed in high style at a $9-million home on Kailua Bay -- and between the beach and the driving range, the future Commander-in-Chief didn't appear to get much rest!
"It's really good just to work out stress, to make sure that you get in the gym every day," Barack told "Extra" in October of staying in shape. "I usually get up about six and I get my workout in -- that way I know that whatever else happens during the day, I've started the morning well."




















Well, since he has not been inaugerated and is not recieving a presidential paycheck as of yet, this vacation is at his own expense. The money from the senate seat has paid for this, and we all take vacations at the governments expense whenever we are not working and boosting our economy. It is a give and take.
