Back in 2007 Senator Obama spent a day as a home health care worker (updated)Last edited Mon Jul 30, 2012, 02:48 AM - Edit history (4) Back in 2007 Senator Obama spent the morning in a home of an elderly man: sweeping/mopping the floor, making his bed, making his breakfast, doing the laundry, etc. The first video below shows Senator Obama working in the home - and the second video is an update. Walk a day in my shoes: Barack Obama/Pauline Beck Here's a two page article and SEVEN PHOTOS regarding Obama's day of volunteering... Sen. Barack Obama on job with Alameda County home health worker August 9, 2007 http://www.sfgate.com/politics/article/Sen-Barack-Obama-on-job-with-Alameda-County-home-3049743.php#photo-2276486 A Promise Kept: Pauline and Homecare Workers In 2007 then-Senator Barack Obama spent a day with Pauline Beck, a homecare worker. He worked alongside her, getting to know the daily life and concerns of a homecare worker. Now, as President, he has taken action that will require homecare workers recieve at least a minimum wage and overtime protections - which many were previously exempt from.
Something that Rmoney would NEVER do! === Edited to add the first 2007 VIDEO - I found it

In a commercial ... they could ask him all sorts of questions, and his answer would be:
"I'm running for President, for Pete's Sake . . . . . ."

"Fair Labor Standards Act starting in January 2015" came about, too, Tx. Including, the encouraging info on our new Labor Sec, Thomas Perez.
And, she's going to the White House!
