Political slushy fund: Barack Obama rejoins family in Hawaii after breaking off from vacation to avert fiscal cliff disaster

By SEAN O'HARE

President Obama celebrated stopping his country going over the fiscal cliff with his favourite Hawaiian tipple yesterday, as he rejoined his family on their Christmas holidays.

He returned to Hawaii on Wednesday after reaching a deal in Congress that will stop most tax increases for the middle class.

Yesterday he stepped out with his family and friends for a spot of bowling and an iced drink, known in Hawaii as a shave ice, at his regular spot, Island Snow in Kailua.

Nigel Watson, visiting from Melbourne, Australia, told Hawaii News Now: 'We came for a shave ice because it was a bit wet on the beach, and shook the hand of the President of the United States of America. You don't get to do that everyday.

'We were actually in the store and what turned out to be Secret Service knocked on the door and let us out, and then they started roping (us) off, and -- yeah, it was a bit of a buzz.' Read more: dailymail.co.uk/news
