VIDEO: Shirtless Barack Obama goes paddle boarding in Hawaii, while fellow Dems deal with Georgia runoff

Barack Obama's Democratic colleagues may be embroiled in the Senate runoff in Georgia, but he's been thousands of miles away in Hawaii enjoying his holiday getaway in the Aloha State.

The former president, 59, was spotted paddle boarding in O'ahu's Kailua Bay Monday afternoon, with a secret service agent in a kayak not far behind him, according to video from the TheImageDirect.com obtained by The New York Post,

The Obamas travel to Hawaii, where the former commander-in-chief was born, every year for the holidays.
