Obama arrived at Andrews Air Force Base in Maryland on Sunday morning after an overnight flight.

The president’s annual end-of-year visit to his native state was disrupted just after Christmas when he was forced to return to the capital to help broker a solution on a plan to avert a combination of tax increases and spending cuts that could have plunged the economy back into recession.

He returned to Hawaii on New Year’s Day.

Obama faces a full agenda in Washington, including possible appointments of a new defense secretary and CIA director and a meeting with Afghan President Hamid Karzai (HAH’-mihd KAHR’-zeye).

What great tans they both got! Look so happy & healthy from all that sun, don’t they? And well fed, too. Well, they don’t have to worry about the cost of their Xmas dinner.

To #2 -“Mona Lisa”- Your despicable remark, about “what great tans they both got”, when referring to the first couple was an absolute outrage! Whenever some groups disparage people of color (especially Black people), they use bigoted, racist remarks, such as “great tans”. Absolutely reprehensible, lacking in any redeeming value, and certainly not funny!! A shanda that this remark would come from a Yid!!

Really? Look at the picture that accompanies the article. They look darker & FYI, Black people CAN tan. They are as great a risk as caucasians for melanoma due to excessive sun. Instead of bending over backwards to be PC, spare some of your indignation for the $7 million+ his holiday jaunt cost the taxpayer. I’d have liked some fun in the sun as well!
