Our Commander in Chief, on his big day* with Habitat for Humanity: "The only thing I have in my mind today is to ask the American people to volunteer in their neighborhoods." I BET that's the only thing he has in his mind today... I'm really glad he's hammering nails into boards instead of making policy changes to help low-income families find housing that would help them a hell of a lot more than him slicing his hand open on a Habitat build. "I spilled some blood for volunteerism!" he says. Oh, W. Even when you're doing something bleeding-heart-ish (or bleeding-hand-ish, as the case may be), in my eyes you can do no right...

*I use the word "day" loosely, since he only managed to take 15 minutes out of his busy schedule of golfing at his country club and wandering around his zillion-acre ranch to actually show up at the build. Go read the article in the Post, really, it's worth it.
