No. We can't.

Just saw my first Barack Obama "sign up to do community service because if you do, then the world will be a better place, and unicorns will totally fart rainbows, and other sweet-ass shit" commercial.

Really BO? Is now really the time for this?

You think people are sitting at home, wondering if they're going to have a job in the next month and how they're going to be able to pay the mortgage after their modest savings runs out when BAM! Your inspirational, uplifting, intellectual, thoughtful, engaging, 30 second spot comes on. Suddenly this person realizes how selfish they've been for working 50 to 60 hours a week for money to pay the mortgage, gas bill, car insurance, and tuition; and that they should spend their free time doing whatever you say for no compensation.

Tell me Barack; what color is the sky on your planet?
