奥巴马的圣诞大餐吃什么?

2010-12-30来源:和谐英语

And now from Chilly Chicago to much warmer Hawaii, that's where President Obama and the first family are enjoying their Christmas vacation.The time off is mostly play, but there is some work involved. NBC's Mike Vicara is traveling with the president and joins us again tonight from Honolulu. Mike, good evening.

Good evening, Carl,take two of the president's vacation here he seems to be enjoying himself. Yesterday, it was a golf outing. Today, he's out on the beach. we also understand the president is reading a biography of president Reagan as it happens, this as President Obama is considering some staff shakeups in the west wing of the last two years of his first term .Now there is some business being conducted, counterterrorism advisers to the president held a conference call today to review additional measures that are being taken as so many Americans are traveling in planes, trains and automobiles over the next several days. One minor scare here that marred the trip only slightly, Carl,that was when a man wanted by local authorities was being pursued.Mostly traffic siltations they were chasing this man and he blundered into a checkpoint near the president's vacation home.The man turned around, ultimately apprehended by Hawaii authorities,the president was never in danger,he happened to be out golfing at the time.

Now,on a much lighter note, we understand that the first lady while not at the beach with the president today was answering calls from young Americans who were calling in to Norad to track the progress of Santa Claus across the Christmas Eve skies. Imagine their surprise when they heard the first lady's voice on the other side. And one more thing Carl tomorrow, the Christmas dinner for the Obamas, their friends and family, really simple. It's going to be steak, grilled potatoes, green peas, green beans and pie for dessert. Carl ?

Sounds delicious, Mike. Thank you for that, Mike Viquiera.
