Barack Obama is enjoying a break in Honolulu, Hawaii in advance of the Democratic National Convention. As seen in the AP photos below, he has spent time with daughters Malia, 10, and Sasha, 7, picnicked with family and friends and played some basketball at a local school.

He and wife Michelle also made time for business, attending a fundraiser Tuesday night at the Kahala Hotel.

Heading into the fundraiser with Michelle Tuesday night:

3. And he's not going for sex appeal by posing in a wetsuit on a windsurfer.

He is your typical dad of small kids. It is all about them. Love it.

4. I especially like the ones of him tenderly putting the flower in Malia's hair

whilst carrying his flip flops with them both barefoot and the one of him holding Sasha.

We all know it's damned near impossible to walk on sand in flip flops.

Watch the RW make a big deal out of the carrying flip flops.

:silly:

6. Great pictures

Glad to see he is enjoying time with his daughters, who are growing like weeds by the way -- look how tall Malia is now!! She looks just like her Daddy.

Very cute family album. Thanks for posting. Made my day. :hi:

7. He desrves time off

still, with so many people, many on DU, hurting for loss of a job, loading on credit cards to pay for basic necessity.. I can see some being turned off by these photos.

8. Whining conservatives sit there and cry about how Obama took a break and a vacation

and sit there and nominate for sainthood a guy who basically ramped up his frequent flier miles between Washington D.C. and Crawford Texas ...

11. Wow... Maila's only 10... and she reaches her father's shoulders!

I just about went past my dad's shoulders and I'm 27.

She's going to be one tall girl! I'm willing to bet she'll be at the Olympics in 8 years time! :-D (basketball of course!)
