Like No. 50 isn't a photo op? You think the President really has time for yard work?

It's stress release. He did it before he was President, and he does it every time he's at the ranch, whether photographers are there, or not.

You don't know much about him, do you?

It is photo op. Reagan set this standard of the "ranch work" photo op.

Everyone needs to exercise how they can. I'd rather see this, or Kerry on the slopes than on the tread mill. But Bush has the sense to wear clothes which look like most people can afford. Clinton and Gore didn't doll up in chi chi rags either. Kerry can't help appear elitist.
