Bill Clinton and Barack Obama, April 21, 2009

U.S. President Barack Obama watches as former President Bill Clinton participates in a tree planting event at the Kenilworth Aquatic Gardens April 21 in Washington. The event was organized by the Student Conservation Association, an AmeriCorps organization. On April 21, Obama signed the Edward M. Kennedy Serve America Act that intends to more than triple the AmeriCorps volunteers to over 250,000, costing taxpayers roughly a billion dollars a year over the next five years.
