Sen. Barack Obama is running about 45 minutes behind schedule for this afternoon's rally at Ke'ehi Lagoon Beach Park.

Obama originally was scheduled to land at Honolulu International Airport for a week-long vacation at 2 p.m., then address reporters for 10 to 15 minutes.

He will now arrive around 2:45 p.m., speak to reporters and then head over to Ke'ehi Lagoon Beach Park, campaign organizers said.
