Obama painting in dress slacks and dress shoes? Oh, yeah, his watch is back, but wedding ring still missing...
Its not connected. If he really wanted to do something useful and connected to the 9/11 event positively, he could make it a day to spend with loved one (as a way to cherish anf honor the time we have together).
“It was not National Day of Service and Remembrance, it was Patriots Day.”
Rewriting history.
They must be exhausted with all that work. So when’s their next tax funded, star studded European vacation?
Now, Now Jess, you obviously didn’t see the ‘new, revised’ picture of Obama emulating a man. His new pic features him with gloves on and he has a shovel (for cleaning up his own BS I suppose) pretending to ‘work like a real man’.
Get with the program...sheesh!
... sorry ...
but how could I resist?
Neither one of them has ever worked a day in their lives.
Damn Capitalist!
;)
Stop Michelle! It’s a paint brush, not an ice cream cone!!!!
Is burning a koran a service project?
3rd photo: ummm it tastes like Tang too.
Why are these creeps trying to turn Patriot Day into something else?
In what culture, is it appropriate or traditional to honor the passing of others by rushing to Walmart , buying a gallon Glidden and then painting the garage ?
In a dress shirt and slacks ?
This is unbelievable , this guy doesn’t have a clue.
Now look away , because the next comment is for the guys, not the Freeper ladies..
I bet picture number one is a familiar sight for Reggie Love.
Come on now he could at least dress the part.
Slacks and dress shoes and looks like the lady wearing her $500 sneakers. Does anything really matter to these people.
What? You don’t paint in your finest dress shirts, slacks and shoes? How else are you going to have freshly painted rags available when you need them?
I’ve never met a community organizer (socialist) that ‘worked’. All those I’ve met have never had calloused hands. Seems all they know how to work is their mouth to aggitate.

HISTORY OF THE 911 NATIONAL DAY OF SERVICE INITIATIVE
MyGoodDeed, which represents the interests of many 9/11 organizations, was the first group to formally call for September 11 to be designated as a federally recognized National Day of Service and Remembrance. Progress was made early when, in 2002, President George W. Bush declared September 11 “Patriot Day” to honor both the victims and heroes of the September 11 attacks, and highlighted the spirit of service by launching USA Freedom Corps. In 2008, President Bush amended the Patriot Day proclamation to specifically include “volunteering” as an appropriate form of remembrance. A year later, the U.S. Congress, in a bi-partisan action, passed the Serve America Act, which for the first time authorized the President of the United States to formally designate 9/11 as a National Day of Service and Remembrance. President Barack Obama subsequently launched United We Serve, a national service initiative that culminated on September 11, 2009. President Obama amended the Patriot Day proclamation on September 10, 2009, to officially and permanently make 9/11 a National Day of Service and Remembrance, as requested by Congress and the 9/11 community. In 2010, the Corporation for National and Community Service, HandsOn Network and the 9/11 Memorial joined with MyGoodDeed to form a national organizing committee that managed the 9/11 National Day of Service annually.
