Obamas Second Coming to Lanikai Kailua Hawaii

Way too much excitement for our little beachside community, Obama came back to Lanikai to golf Mid Pacific Country club again. He said” Needed to come back and redeem himself after how he shot last time he was here”. Maybe it was the red hat he was wearing or he is just feeling a little more comfortable in our town.

Obama knows how to work a crowd, that is for sure. Pretty nice guy
