Barack Obama D-Ill., center, speaks to reporters after filling sandbags with volunteers at a sandbag station in Quincy, Ill., Saturday, June 14, 2008. While flooding around the Midwest is more serious in Iowa and parts of Wisconsin, the water is rising in Illinois and more water is on the way.

He’s never actually had to use a shovel to do his shoveling, so he’s not familiar with the tool.

Eh, suppose he's ok, or something, but kinda hard to believe this claim of 'change' - Seems the standard photo-op to me, whole bunch of people fly in, take pictures, blab a bit, then fly on, while me and the kid are here filling sandbags. If all them photographers and reporters filled a bag each, it'd maybe be worth it.

Associated Press - June 14, 2008 9:23 PM ET

QUINCY, Ill. (AP) - Barack Obama has stopped by the Mississippi River city of Quincy in his home state of Illinois where he used a shovel to fill sandbags as a precaution against the rising river.

Obama said since he’s been in public office he has not seen “this kind of devastation.”

Obama pledged to push the federal and state governments to provide aid to the stricken areas.
