Got a Room? Obama Team Seeks Cheap Chicago Lodging for Staffers

Despite its $1 billion fundraising prediction, Obama’s Organizing for America campaign arm is looking for a cheap alternative to hotel rooms to house its 2012 volunteers in Chicago. The group’s website is currently soliciting volunteers to house staffers:

    When California releases the 40,000 inmates, uh I mean pre-screened Obama workers) they have ordered to do, they all now have a place to go (and vote). Its great when a plan comes together!

    I am just wondering, but if the lady who watched the neighbors kids for free for an hour a day before they got on the bus needed a liscense, wouldn‘t anyone who houses one of these people have to follow rules of let’s say a B&B? Just a thought. There will be a lot of revenue here in fines.

    N.Y went blue because The Ryan plan didn’t get out there right. No one who has a income of more than $500,000 should receive SS period if you run out of money then you can re-file later with proof positive that you lost your income. Yes you put into it but who needs it more the person with a monthly income of only $900- 1500 a month or you cause its yours? That’s right entitlements whether we need it or not.

    Obama is a cheater and his little “visionaries” are socialist and communist radicals. Obama the handyman cannot buy votes with his hopeful billion dollars and his architects and planners don’t know what to do with millions upon millions of unemployed men and women stuck in the Obama depression.
    Obama is surrounded by multilevel problems and the country is divided now by good and Obama evil.
    If the “visionaries” need some space let them all go get a job in China behind the great walls as the hot summer winds blow in America.
    They search for that one little special trigger to start a revolutionary was inside America. There is no mystery now about Obama, he is from the lesser group of men.

      Come on you kids don’t really think Obama is going to lose in 2012. I mean throwing a temper tantrum about everything he does regardless if its right or wrong is one thing – but come back to planet earth for a few minutes. The odds of Obama losing in 2012 is slim to none. The 2012 election is more about who ends up with Congress, and how much political capital Obama can bank.

      biohazard, i wouldn’t get your hopes up over 2012.
      obama has leftover money from the last election, and he’s been raking in more ever since. he is organized, the republicans are not. these elections are all about cash. And, if we had a decent person to run, it would be close. but palin, cain, newt, romney,,, aren’t exactly inspirational characters, in the sense that they won’t motivate anyone to get out of there chairs and vote… obama will probably win by 5-6 points.

      so one and done…. probably not. and if you don’t like obama now,,, well what do you think you are going to see him do when he’s got nothing to lose, and no re-election to worry about. 2012 is when the real agenda begins.

      His HQ is in Chicago as for the rest of IL, why would he care about the rest of IL. He’ll win IL by 20 points. Chicago and the surrounding burbs decide the state, nobody cares about southern IL in state wide elections.

      But he’s recruiting people in Chicago more so for fundraising reasons – he’ll get the votes, he needs the money. And to northern Indiana because if he‘s to win IN again he’ll need good turn out in northern IN again.
