Obama hits the links in Hawaii

President Obama is already getting into the swing of things back home in Hawaii.

Fresh from the "fiscal cliff" hassles of Washington, the president spent his first full day of vacation Saturday by hitting the golf course and dining with wife Michelle and friends in Waikiki.

Obama golfed on the Kaneohe Clipper course at the Marine Corps Base Hawaii. His playing partners included White House chef Sam Kass, personal aide Marvin Nicholson, and long-time Hawaii friends Bobby Titcomb and Mike Ramos.

Later, Obama, the first lady and friends dined at Morimoto Restaurant Waikiki, along the beachside strip.

The press pool notes that "the restaurant is owned by chef Masaharu Morimoto, of Iron Chef and Iron Chef America fame, known for 'his seamless integration of Western and Japanese ingredients.'"

The president and first lady have a somber afternoon on the schedule Sunday, attending a memorial service for Sen. Daniel Inouye, D-Hawaii, who passed away last week.
