The new & improved normal begins to take hold ...

  Indianapolis - Lines were long and tempers flared Wednesday not to vote but to get paid for canvassing for Barack Obama. Several hundred people are still waiting to get their pay for last-minute campaigning. Police were called to the Obama campaign office on North Meridian Street downtown to control the crowd.The line was long and the crowd was angry at times."I want my money today! It's my money. I want it right now!" yelled one former campaign worker.

  A former spokesman for the Obama campaign said 375 people were hired as part of the Vote Corps program and said people signed up to work three-hour shifts at a time. Three hours of canvassing got workers a $30 pre-paid Visa card.The workers showed up to get their cards Wednesday morning at 10:00 am."There was a note on the door saying 1:00 pm and then at 1:20 pm everybody was like why is nobody here. They just got here and they're trying to get it organized," said Heather Richards, a former campaign worker.

  The large gathering of around 375 people prompted police to call in extra officers and set up temporary barricades. The barricades helped keep the crowd from spilling out onto Meridian Street. Police say the several hundred people in line were for the most part orderly."No arrests. Some of the people were upset at first because the line wasn't moving as fast as they thought it should. But we really haven't had any problems," said Major Darryl Pierce, Metro Police.

   Eventually people did start getting paid, but some said they were missing hours and told to fill in paperwork making their claim and that eventually they would get a check in the mail.  Link

    These folks are going to be much more disappointed when they find out that their 'stimulus checks' won't even cover rent, gas and food for a month. And has anyone else noticed the people the Messiah elect is picking for his new administration? Not a black face in the crowd.

Maybe this will be more fun that I thought.

Spread the word!

Obama is slick and I do not trust him, but he does have beautifull children and a real wife though I am not sure he is a real human being; If he is perhaps he will suprise us.

I had a hatred for Clinton until I started praying for Him and today I start praying for Barak.
