I can see it all now, The prez in his hard hat, pounding a few nails into a sheet of plywood with the cameras running to show the country what kind of man he is. And they used to make fun of Clinton for doing photo ops. Bush's motorcade wended its way through the pitch dark down Covington's largely unscathed streets to the brightly lit Habitat site _ a small patch of land amid a still-sleeping, modest neighborhood turned into a makeshift TV set. Dressed for the occasion in hard hat, work gloves and a large wraparound tool belt, the president joined other volunteers hammering nails into a sheet of plywood. The first lady, a cloth nail pouch around her waist, accompanied him. Bush spent most of his time chatting, signing autographs and posing for pictures. |

History 101: When a popular myth is believed to be factual, teach the myth. Its not possible to underestimate the intelligence of the voting populous. Hummm, after seeing the results of the 06 election, I may have to modify my perception of the voting populous and refer to them as "Late Bloomers".

No, but he was holding it about 2 inches from the head, the way a little kid does. Tapped a nail into a sheet of chip-board a couple times, the nail fell (because he wasn't hold the sheet tight to the stud), and he quickly whipped another out of his left palm. But having pounded more than a few cases of nails in my life (unlike him, evidently), I caught it.
