Obama has a page on his website called serve.gov encouraging people to volunteer in their community.

Effectively, selling your labor for $0 an hour.
So you can sell your labor at 7.25/hr or above or for 0/hr but heaven forbid you agree to work for any wage in between, because somehow that be wrong....
