Obama Vacation Hawaii

President Barack Obama ended a round of golf Monday morning without notice and sped toward his family’s vacation home after the child of family friend suffered minor injuries in a surfing mishap near the home. The father of the child, Eric Whitaker was apparently on the golf course with the president when they received word of the accident.

A White House source described the child’s injury as a “run-of-the-mill beach injury” and said that the child would require stitches. An ambulance apparently was called, but the child was treated on the scene and did not go to the hospital.

Among those who have joined the First Family in Hawaii are his sister, Maya Soetoro-Ng, and her family; close friends Eric Whitaker and Marty Nesbitt and their spouses; and Valerie Jarrett, another longtime friend who also serves as a senior White House adviser.
