and politicians have their pictures taken while serving and feeding the poor and homeless at soup kitchens and other charitable places where food is handed out. Where are they the rest of the year?

3. It is all part of the hypocritical world they live.

They want to make sure everyone sees them doing "the right thing" for a few minutes. Then they can go back across the tracks to their mansions.

It should be note that, some celebrities and politicians who do much for the less fortunate.

If you were out there feeding the poor you wouldn't be here would you?

7. I'm home with my family today. The rest of the year I volunteer at

St Vincent de Paul dinning room in Oakland twice a week (60 miles round trip). One day a week I delivery food for Meals On Wheels to home bound elderly and sick. I am retired and still young and able to give my time. I am thankful for that. Today, the politicans have their photo-ops.

Any other questions? Sorry, I didn't mean to sound sarcastic

8. I guess you hate others doing the same then

Celebrities tend to send a message that is far reaching. And when the First Family does it it definitely sends the right message.

Or have you forgotten they do it more than once a year?

Who were the last First Family who did this?

You're implying that celebrities even need to do this. Why would they?
