KANEOHE BAY, Hawaii (AP) — How President Barack Obama spent the fourth day of his holiday vacation in Hawaii on Tuesday:
—
MORNING WORKOUT — For the second day in a row, the president headed to
the gym at Marine Corps Base Hawaii in Kaneohe Bay for some early
exercise under cool, gray skies.
—
SALUTING SONY — A spokesman for Obama said the president applauded Sony
Pictures Entertainment's decision to screen its film "The Interview" in
a limited number of theaters Christmas Day. The comedy had prompted an
international incident with North Korea and outrage over its previously
canceled release.
— GONE
GOLFING — After stopping at his Kailua vacation home, Obama headed back
to Marine Corps Base Hawaii for a popular vacation pastime: golf. He
played with friends Greg Orme, Bobby Titcomb and Joe Paulsen, according
to the White House. As the motorcade left Kailua, a woman holding a
small white dog held up a T-shirt emblazoned with a red heart and the
words "Obama Girl."

HIKE — With the sun finally shining, Obama went for a hike with daughter
Malia Obama and friends. They climbed Makapuu Point Lighthouse Trail,
which offers sweeping views of Oahu's mountainous windward coast and
offshore islands. On a clear day, it's possible to see the neighbor
islands Molokai and Lanai from the trail.

BEST WISHES TO BUSH — As Obama returned to his vacation home in the
late afternoon, a spokesman said the president was made aware that
former President George H.W. Bush was admitted to a Houston hospital
after experiencing shortness of breath. "President Obama and the first
lady send their good wishes to the former president and the entire Bush
family during this holiday season," spokesman Eric Schultz said.
