A glimpse into Obama's economic plans?   
 Obama campaign workers line up to get paid

Indianapolis - A delay over paychecks caused several hundred campaign volunteers for Barack Obama to line up outside the Meridian Street office Wednesday.

Around 375 people lined up in front of the office in the 800 block of North Meridian in downtown Indianapolis Wednesday. They were hired do to last-minute canvassing before Tuesday's election, which saw Indiana go "blue" for the first time since 1964.

When the workers showed up in the morning, they were told that the office didn't have the money to pay them. They were told to come back in the afternoon.

Indianapolis Metro police officers noticed the long line and came out to control the crowd by setting up barricades to make sure people didn't spill into the street. Some workers were angry, demanding to be paid today.

Someone affiliated from the Obama campaign office said it was unfortunate, and that they were working to get the money to pay the workers. Some workers claimed they were not being paid in full for the hours they worked, and they were asked to fill out a form and make a claim.


sorry, but...






LMAO!!!
