Cabinet members: they're more than just bureaucratic figureheads. They will also paint your house, fertilize your lawn and serve you lunch, as revealed by behind-the-scenes photographs of your favorite secretaries released by the White House.

Office of Personnel Management Director John Berry looks deeply uncomfortable announcing a new food drive and Secretary Geithner provides his most practical handout to date. Check out the slideshow below:

Service like that does give people a different view of things. Maybe now we'll have actual human beings in office! :D

This is a wonderful example of how the trillions of dollars of capital which were siphoned off can be recovered. Not through the actions of these cabinet ministers, but through everyone participating in meaningful, selfless service. The gold we will gather will be abundant!

Okay, I meant that as a response to someone who posted below that they were all a bunch of self-promoters. The sildeshow itself, I think is FABULOUS.

Quick researchers! Did Bush's cabinet ever do any community service like this in 8 years?

If you count helping the "WEALTHY COMMUNITY" to amass more wealth through tax cuts, no oversight, creating more loopholes, and ensuring that they got all the government contracts as community service, then yes the Bush cabinet engage in performing community service.

Bush/Cheney were too busy warmongering, and transferring the wealth of the country into the hands of the rich.

This is my kind of government!!!! Look at it and love it!!!! And please you all!!! This is what we have lived whole lifetimes to see. Have you any idea how many generations are come and gone never to see our top level officials get down and dirty with us in this thing called life? So I expect that you guys could give a hearty round of applause and most especially, find something to do to help in your community. This is by far the best form of thank you there is. High Praise for these true public servants. High Praise indeed!!! This is sooooooooo­oooooooooo­oooooooo beautiful it makes me tear up!!! No sarcasm here. I mean it!!!!

You are always looking for the thorns and can not appreciate the rose. What a cynical and pitiful state of mind.

Yep. Self promotion through serving others. If that is self promotion, may we all do it.
