this has got to come as something of a shock to a guy that has spent 2 years standing for nothing, but criticizing everything.

Protests interrupt Obama's paradise

HONOLULU — It’s not exactly anti-war mom Cindy Sheehan camped outside of George W. Bush’s Crawford ranch. But as President-elect Barack Obama lingered at his Kailua vacation home later than usual this morning, about 10 protesters gathered near the security checkpoint down the street.

It is the first time Obama has received anything but praise and cheers during his 12-day Hawaiian vacation, which ends on Thursday.

Some of the demonstrators carried signs declaring “War is Terror" and "Free Palestine.”

Ann Wright, a retired Army colonel and member of Veterans for Peace, wore a T-shirt that read, "We will not be silent" and carried a sign that read, "Change U.S. foreign policy. Yes we can."

Shortly after 9:30 this morning as Obama headed to his high school alma mater to play basketball, the small group of demonstrators near his vacation home waved signs that said, "No U.S. support for Israel” and "Gazans need food, medicine, not war."

But Obama was sitting in the rear on the passenger side of his black sport utility vehicle, and was not visible to the protesters, according to a pool report, which said the president-elect sipped from a bottle of water and looked straight ahead as his vehicle passed the demonstrators.

the man said "four more years of failed bush policies" so damn often that I am surprised that he didn't shear a pin.

But Obama was hiding in the rear of the his black "Planet Killing" sport utility vehicle, and was not visible to the protesters, according to a pool report, which said the president-elect sipped vodka from a water bottle and looked blankly ahead as his vehicle passed the demonstrators. Again choosing, wisly, to not interact with the wackos.
