Obama said she hoped her selfless public service would inspire other Americans to volunteer in their own communities.
Hell, we just want to know where we can sign up for Obama’s \Free Government Cell Phone With Every Meal Program.
LA Times blogger Andrew Malcolm has the temerity to wonder how an alleged homeless man can afford a cellphone. Not to mention asking where the bills get sent.
