◼ President Obama has made volunteerism and public service a big part of his second term, but his United We Serve site, www.serve.org, has no mention of how people can help those being crushed by Friday's super snow storm in New England--or Hurricane Sandy victims who've been struggling for months. - Paul Bedard/Washington Examiner
Instead, the site includes a handful of requests from charity groups for unrelated help, many listings just repeated over and over. The entry for one Boston zip code, for example, includes 10 identical requests for a volunteer receptionist to help with new immigrants. Another Boston zip code entry includes repeated requests for people to help serve at regularly scheduled dinners for homeless vets.
