Due to an unfortunate "chewing incident" in the past involving First Dog Bo, the search for a suitable vacation rental home had become quite challenging.
To combat this problem, President Obama issued an Executive Order last November declaring that any pet-related damage would be covered by the "full faith and credit
guaranty" of the United States Government.
The President is renting the same house as last year in his favorite Kailua beach neighborhood. An exact replica of the official White House fence was flown out in advance
to provide both security and privacy for President Obama and his family.
Like most Americans, President Obama is a creature of habit. After an incredibly tumultuous year, the President plans to relax this trip and visit some of his favorite places.
