Obama fills sand bags.

4. In all fairness......................
John McCain would have a stroke if he tried to lift a tea bag... much less a sand bag.

9. True....

12. That is the right kind of photo op
Highlighting the needs of the flooded Midwest. He also has an appeal for help on his campaign front page (www.barackobama.com).

16. What a great idea for a photo op.
This is PR genius by the Obama campaign. And a nice contrast to McCain/Bush.
