KAILUA, Hawaii (AP) - How President Barack Obama spent the fourth day of his Christmas vacation on Tuesday in Hawaii:

_ GYM: Obama headed to Marine Corps Base Hawaii in Kaneohe for his usual morning workout, the second of his trip since arriving early Saturday.

_ LOUNGING: Obama spent most of the morning and early afternoon with his family in their rented beachside vacation home in Kailua, a sleepy Honolulu suburb on the east side of Oahu. The family opened gifts Christmas morning, ate breakfast and sang carols.

_ PHOTOS WITH MILITARY: Obama and first lady Michelle Obama visited with military service members at Marine Corps Base Hawaii in Kaneohe, thanking hundreds of service members as they ate an early Christmas dinner. Obama gave a short speech, then took photos with individual service members and their families.

_ DEPARTURE PLANNED: The White House said Obama would return to Washington, D.C., on a redeye flight Wednesday night, and that Michelle Obama and their daughters would remain in Hawaii.

    I DO hope the 4 of you and your enterage and the Secret Service and all the hangers on have a wonderful time on my dime. Try not to think of us here at home struggling to make ends meet, and worrying that you and our useless Congress/Senate will raise our already too high taxes. Don't forget to make sure that those who don't work are taken care of by those who do. I guess there is one thing that you're doing a great job of...teaching your daughters that someone else will pay the bill. Thanks loads and Happy Holiday.

    ..just did a quick check and Obama's vacation spending is down the list from the all time biggest spender...GEORGE BUSH. I don't like to see our tax dollars spent on exorbitant vacations either, but The Big O will have to take a bunch of paid vacation days to match the 1020 days that the worst president in modern times took. You gotta hand it to George...he set the bar pretty low.
