If anyone of you would have taken the time to actually read the regulation you would have seen this little tidbit... "human remains transported from United States ports or on United States vessels or aircraft may be buried at sea under specified conditions." Since Obama was not on either a ship or transported from a port, those regulations do not apply.
In Hawaii you are allowed to scatter remains if you do it from land or from a surfboard.
