Obama Earth Day Blog Round-Up

Submitted by lfreedman on Thu, 04/23/2009 - 16:17

A quick synopsis of the stand outs from this week's media blitz:

  • Backpacker [1]: It's good to see Obama join in on his own initiatives.
  • Huffington Post [2]: "I think the president has pretty good shoveling skills," Obama said of Clinton's work.
  • WJZ Baltimore: [3] This is an Earth Day a Baltimore City teen will remember for the rest of his life.
  • Washington Post [4]: "Great job, trees," VPOTUS said after it was over. "Dirt, you did a good job."
  • City Parks Blog [5]: This might be the President’s first semi-official visit to a city park - and a signal that he recognizes how they can be an important place for improving communities.

And in case you missed it:

  • Associated Press [7]: Obama urges citizens to undertake national service
  • CSPAN [8]: Complete video of SCA's tree planting with President Obama
