The president and first lady marked the eighth anniversary of September 11th on Friday by highlighting community service. The first lady promised George Washington University students that if they completed 100,000 hours of community service this year, she'd speak at their graduation in May.

The first lady and president also painted a house with Habitat for Humanity volunteers, where the president got white paint on his dress shoes and Mrs. Obama wore funky purple Converse sneakers.
