President Barack Obama and his family plan to spend a quiet Christmas at their oceanfront Hawaiian vacation home, with hopes that outside events don't interrupt their holiday.
A year ago, the president's Christmas was disrupted by the attempted bombing of a plane bound for Detroit, an incident that consumed the rest of Obama's vacation. This year, the president has his sights set on a more relaxing holiday after a volatile year and a frenzied lame-duck legislative session.
The president is staying at a luxurious rented home on Kailua Bay with wife Michelle, daughters Malia and Sasha, and dog Bo. Obama took his daughters on a Christmas Eve trip to Pyramid Rock Beach, a favorite local destination of the first family.
Mrs. Obama skipped the beach so she could give some lucky children a Christmas surprise. The first lady answered calls for the "Tracking Santa" program, a Christmas tradition run by the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD). With help from NORAD's Santa Route Schedule, Mrs. Obama was able to tell children Santa's whereabouts as he made his Christmas Eve rounds.
The Obamas will spend Christmas Day with the president's sister, Maya Soetoro-Ng, and her family. They live on Oahu, the island where Obama was born (LOL WHAT A JOKE...SAYS WHO?) and mostly grew up. Several of Obama's childhood friends are also in town, along with family friends from Chicago.
On the first family's Christmas Day menu: steak, roasted potatoes, green beans and pie.

An election for President and Commander in Chief of the Military must strive to be above reproach. Our public institutions must give the public confidence that a presidential candidate has complied with the election process that is prescribed by our Constitution and laws. It is only after a presidential candidate satisfies the rules of such a process that he/she can expect members of the public, regardless of their party affiliations, to give him/her the respect that the Office of President so much deserves.
