Four full days into his Hawaii vacation, Barack Obama went to Marine Corps Base Hawaii at Kaneohe Bay on Monday for his usual 50-minute workout and made a brief stop at the Kailua Racquet Club, a 72-year-old club that was established as a private hideaway amid a forest but is now in the middle of a residential neighborhood. (He may have played tennis with the First Lady, but that has not been confirmed.) Then the President put on a suit coat - but no tie - as he faced the nation to talk about the attempted terrorist attack...
Singing "White Christmas" is fine if you're Bing Crosby or you're safely ensconced in front of a fire in a mountain hideaway somewhere.

Dennis wears a brown paper bag for a chef's hat and serves food on plastic plates, but he makes a killer fish chowder, curried mussel...
...health care, sounds supremely confident when he talks about the odds that Congress will pass its most sweeping piece of social legislation since the New Deal. "Meaningful, comprehensive health-care legislation passes this year. That's a given," he declares, sipping a bottle of water in his functionally furnished hideaway office just steps from the Senate chamber. "It's gonna pass. It's gonna happen. There's no doubt about...
