At least we know Obama is qualified to be a ditch digger.
Unfortunately, that is about all he is qualified to do.

Once moral giants trod the land.

Now it's mostly pygmies.

What is that, a gardening shovel? Hurts my back just to look at it.

Yep! That's what it is. It is a back breaker but I doubt he used it long enough to even tire his back.

I could loan him a real shovel but it takes a real man to use it.

If he wanted to help, really just help, he would have ducked the media and just showed up.

This is a photo-op.

So what’s the point of a gardening shovel? Do people use them while on their knees? That’s the only way I can see it.

Technically that is a D-handle gardening spade made for turning soil. To effectively put loose sand from a mound like that into a sandbag, he would be better off using a transfer shovel.

Obama's ghouls probably contacted every single person in the media before Obama showed up at the site.

The MSM's enormous presence in the background is testament that this is nothing more than a staged photo op.

I wonder how many times his shovel actually lifted dirt off of the ground?

Five? Maybe six times tops? Obama's "work" reminds me of that scene in "Zoolander" when he shows up at the coal mine and creates a distraction instead of a hard day's work.

I bet that most of Obama's time was actually spent giving ambiguous statements about "hope" and "change" with the shovel tip on the ground, and the handle resting in his hand.

The Americans actually working made for a great backdrop to Obama's softball forum with his media fools.

My guess it that he’s in the midst of “SSS” I just wonder who he shot and if he’ll EVER shut up.
