They should have been humbled and honored just to have been given the opportunity to help spread the Light(tm) for the Bringer of Hope and Change ™. Instead they’re rioting in the streets.
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.

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.
“Still that’s not right. I’m disappointed. I’m glad for the president, but I’m disappointed in this system,” said Diane Jefferson, temporary campaign worker.
“It should have been $480. It’s $230,” said Imani Sankofa.
“They gave us $10 an hour. So we added it. I added up all the hours so it was supposed to be at least $120. All I get is $90,” said Charles Martin.
“I worked nine hours a day for 4 days and got paid half of what I should have earned,” said Randall Waldon.
What’s the problem? They’re serving the Bringer of Hope and Change, aren’t they? They’re giving of themselves to their country, just like their Savior espoused. But now they’re complaining about not getting paid enough? Maybe the rest of their money is going to the neeeeeeeeeedy and the pooooooooooor – those who neeeeeeeed it more than they do! Wouldn’t it be the honorable thing to do just to shut the hell up and take what you’re given, instead of complaining? I mean, the wealth is being spread, isn’t it?
Welcome to Change You Can Believe In ™, assholes. Like it?
