Barack Obama shirtless

You may have seen these photos of Presidential Elect Barack Obama shirtless while on vacation in Hawaii for the holidays, but they're worth revisiting. Judging from these photos of 47 year-old in swimming trunks, he hasn't neglected his physique on the campaign trail.

According to the Washington Post, Obama has hit the gym for around an hour and a half a day for "at least 48 days in a row." Friends say he relies on fitness to get through stressful times, and his staff knows it's something that needs to be scheduled for each day.

Obama had Christmas dinner with US servicemen and women at Marine Corps Base Hawaii Kaneohe Bay on Oahu. He went table to table shaking hands with US Marines and sailors and wishing everyone a Merry Christmas. Also on Obama's agenda while in Hawaii was a round of golf on Christmas Eve.

It was just announced that Obama will be sworn into office using the very same bible that President Lincoln used in 1861. The historic bible has been preserved by the Library of Congress in their rare book collection.

Thanks to Bauer-Griffin for the buff Obama pictures and Newscom/UPI for the photos of Obama with the Marines.

Why would they let a papper into his vicinity to take photos or did he sneak in? Doesn't seem like very good security.

I think he was on a public beach or something, Leandra.

CB - While in Hawaii, Obama also released his grandmother's ashes (with his sister Maya) on the same cliff they released their mother's ashes.

@Kaiser we can get those photos of Obama scattering his Grandma's ashes but I chose not to run them or really mention it. Obama said in his 60 Minutes interview that he felt the loss of privacy and anonymity the most, and somehow I don't think he is comfortable with those photos of a private moment with his family getting out. We don't run any photos from funerals or of people mourning after a death so it just didn't seem right.
