The problem is that he didn’t get the part about “the blue tape is where you place your left hand while picking up the mattock. At the top of your stroke, pull down with your right hand and push with the left, sliding it down the handle toward your right hand as the mattock descends. Both hands are together at the end of the handle as the mattock hits the ground. You are standing up, but bent over enough at the waist so that you can hit your digging target.
Otherwise, Mr President, you look like a little girl trying to dig.”
Actually, after reviewing the photo, Mr President, you need to place your left hand closer to the head when lifting the mattock.
Practice! You’ll get the hang of it.
(ain’t it amazing that someone who can dig a multi-trillion dollar national debt hole doesn’t know how to use a mattock. How is he with a shovel? ...no, digging shovel, not the manure fork.)
