Full time volunteer position? Who in their right mind would want to work full time in a position where you don't get paid? Did Michelle or BO ever work in a volunteer position full time...........or part time for that matter. I work as a part time volunteer and I couldn't do it unless I had a sugar daddy paying the bills. Either that or rely on the govt for my every need. Here is the website for the "Organizing Fellowship" program. They have some interesting orgs in their "groups" section. my.barackobama.com Through the Organizing Fellowship program, you can work in a full-time volunteer position, learn the principles of field organizing, and then carry out important grassroots activities on the ground.

It seems that Michelle, family and friends have the best experience working in politics that money can buy [other peoples money], namely, holidays on Air Force One in Spain, date night via Air Force One in New York, holidays to Hawaii on Air Force One. All on the taxpayer's tab. < There will be difficult days, and long ones, too. But being an organizer is one of the best experiences you can have working in politics. The people who take on this challenge will not only help move this country forward -- they'll also become the next generation of leaders. The strength of this organization comes from the people involved. We never could have come this far without folks like you who have a passion for organizing and a commitment to finishing what we started together.> "Thanks folks. This is a lot of fun and we'd like another 4 years of such fun. Please get out there and get everyone to vote to send us more mega$billions to spend, including on ourselves. This is great. You will work hard, through difficult days and long ones too. But we think it's worth it." Mqurice
