Waimanalo, Hawaii

Pool Report No. 5

President-elect Barack Obama arrived at Sea Life Park, a marine amusement

park in Waimanalo, about 12:10 p.m. He is apparently inside the park with

daughters Malia and Sasha. He left their Kailua vacation home without the

protective press pool.

Your pool arrived at the park about 1:10 p.m. and are holding outside the

park to await instructions on whether we will have access to the Obamas.

Obama spokesman Ben LaBolt issued the following statement to your pool:

"With no further scheduled events for the day, a lid was called until

further notice. The President-elect decided to take the girls to a water

park and we assembled the pool as quickly as possible."

The park is nestled along the shoreline in the sparsely populated and

scenic Waimanalo area, with soaring volcanic mountains nearby.
