Mom jeans alert!
While the Obamas and guests dined on sushi at Morimoto’s restaurant(translate: mucho money), the pool reporters were relegated across the street at the Outback. Enjoy that Blooming Onion, folks!

HONOLULU — When President Obama left Washington on Friday, he said he was eager to soak up the sun and relax during his 17-day vacation in Hawaii. But on Sunday, the president — accompanied by his wife, Michelle, and his daughters, Sasha and Malia — hit the town, venturing out twice from their private vacation retreat on the windward side of Oahu.
First, the Obamas headed to the University of Hawaii, where the Oregon State Beavers were taking on the Akron Zips as part of Hawaiian Airlines Diamond Head Classic basketball tournament. Mrs. Obama’s brother, Craig Robinson, is the head coach at Oregon State, and the Obamas cheered on his team.
But the First Family did not bring any basketball magic; the Beavers, who never held the lead, lost, 83-71.[Zips of course were the winners!–ed.]
