Having recently moved back and imported our dog here - I can tell you it's quite a process for the 5 day or less program. It took us a year to get all the paperwork together partially because our vet on the mainland lost some paperwork - but you need to have two recent rabies vaccinations, a titer test, import forms, flea and tick control applied by a vet and a health check prior to flying. once you get to the island, you need to have a local vet meet you at the airport cargo facility to go over paperwork and give a final checkup. Your titer test results are good for 3 years from the blood draw.
Once your pet passes the titer test, you can travel pretty freely from the islands to the mainland for those three years but you're paying $$ to the airlines, state and vet every time you do so. I assume Obama and his small army of aides meet all the guidelines set forth by the state of Hawaii and keep the titer test results and rabies vaccines up to date.
