Honolulu (CNN)The trouble with vacations is they must end.
President Barack Obama, perhaps recognizing that eternal truth of holiday-making, packed his last full day on Oahu with visits to family and friends, including Pearl Jam frontman Eddie Vedder, who was spending his holidays in the same oceanfront neighborhood as the first family.
Vedder once performed at a fundraiser for Obama in Tampa, playing on the most Hawaiian of instruments, a ukelele. The gesture seemed to have left an impression on the commander-in-chief; the White House now describes the two as "friends."
Obama also paid a visit to his half-sister on Saturday, and stopped at the Punchbowl Cemetery, where his maternal grandfather is buried. His daughters Malia and Sasha joined him for his rounds.
I wonder if Ed might have mentioned why his friend hasnt done more to protect the enviroment? Or if drone strikes that kill civilains,ethical to nab a few bad guys?
I'm sure some pretty big Lib lip service was exchanged between the two.

I second that. He certainly doesn't rip the current POTUS for using some of the same tactics as much as he ripped previous ones. Disappointing to me.
I'm pretty sure they didn't rip about anything. I bet they talked about their kids and the weather. Golf and surfing might have come up next, and then the 20 minute chat was over.

Dropping bombs on people is dropping bombs on people. There's no difference.

I'm so happy with my righteous self
