Fix Your Country!
Painting the town blue
Tireless, tireless. Don’t let this slacker [Sarcast-Insert™] put you to shame! As the man in seat 20A from LAX to Dulles said to me, en route to the Inauguration, “Obama’s still never done a thing!”. And Obama is proving that again, suspiciously creating a ‘National Day of Service’ on MLK Day and, like Tom Sawyer, he is working, visiting injured soldiers, painting a teen shelter, and making it look fun in order to sucker millions of us into helping him fix the country. For shame.

Obama issued a statement declaring, “King’s was a life lived in loving service to others. As we honor that legacy, it’s not a day just to pause and reflect — it’s a day to act.”
At Walter Reed Army Medical Center, the president-elect visited 14 veterans injured in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Then his motorcade headed for the Sasha Bruce House, a facility for homeless teens, where he grabbed a paint roller and helped volunteers who were fixing up rooms.
“We can’t allow any idle hands,” he said. “Everybody’s got to be involved.”
Later, Obama joined his wife at a high school where they greeted 300 volunteers who were writing letters to U.S. troops and doing other volunteer work.
The president-elect thanked them and said, “If we’re waiting for somebody else to do something, it never gets done. We’re going to have to take responsibility, all of us. This is not just a one-day affair.”

This sounds exactly like his game plan for winning the election. Don’t even think someone else is doing what needs to be done. Do it yourself. That’s what millions of us did just so he could prove his point that it is about us, he’s just the man with the plan leading by example.
