News...or entertainment?

Alright, enough is enough. I care about the news, and what's going on in the world. I have a customized Google News page that shows me the major headlines and some topics that interest me.
One of the topics that's been covered WAY too much is President Obama's vacation in Hawaii. The man is roughly 2500 miles away from the mainland, and there are thousands of articles every time he moves a muscle!
Take this one for example: Child of Obama friend injured on Hawaii beach. The child in question is the son of a family we (as the American general public) do not know. It is reported that the kid didn't even need stitches, and from what they tell us, they don't even know what happened! HOW IS THIS NEWS??
My wish to the media: Leave the man alone. He's trying to enjoy a small vacation with his family. If there's a political emergency within his family or office, let us know. If his friend's daughter's cat gets stuck in a tree, that's his problem, not ours.
