but, it's worth a gander to see Obama doing housework! And, actually showing the treasure of Homecare Givers..

And he never forget about the woman and his promise.

what a culmination 6 years later!

Amazing! Thank you for that. It is funny but I remember Senator Obama running for President was often seen doing things - shoveling at the Iowa floods, painting places with a roller. It seems like he doesn't get time for that kind of thing as much now.

Homecare housework for John Thorton to being Prez and getting this done.

"Obama to extend wage law to cover two million home care aides"

They're such an important part of our Work Force and now they'll be recognized as such!

As shown in the video, care givers provide a huge service to the clients and to the families alike. It is a huge burden to a daughter or son trying to to care for parent, when working full time. I know because we went through that for my dad.

They are invaluable and deserve the coverage of the Fair Labor Standards Act starting in January 2015.

Thank you Cha~

And thanks to Obama and Perez! Awesome!

"It's a calling".. and I know exactly how she feels because I felt that way about my job.

As I've mentioned.. What a journey PBO has been on for this to happen. From "walking a day in Pauline Beck's shoes&quot I love how he pitched in with her chores and John Thornton saying it looked like Obama knew what he was doing) while Senator Obama to becoming POTUS and making sure HomeCare Givers get as fair a shake as other workers.

"The Obama administration said on Tuesday it will extend the protection of U.S. minimum wage and overtime law to almost two million home health workers who assist the elderly and disabled, setting an assertive tone for the new U.S. labor secretary."

Btw, there was lots of grumbling about Thomas Perez before PBO nominated him.. glad he was Confirmed!

BOG

There is always a lot of grumbling about anyone Obama picks, or what he says, or how he says it. etc etc etc.

I am glad Perez is in! Good work.

Kudos to Pauline Beck!

true.

Yes, Pauline Beck !

1. Stories were passed on to me by the Elders. I listened to them talk by the fireplace when we went hunting together. I would always go along with them. Sometimes it was hard to listen to some of the stories because they used Cree words. They would mix up the words and I had to listen carefully to know what they meant.More..

It says it all.

Thank you Obama!

and a smile.

Thanks fresh~

started out in 2007 with Pauline Beck, John Thornton, and then Senator Obama~

since Tuesday!

This is great. The greatest. Both caregivers and those who are being cared for deserve human dignity, and treating caregivers' work with respect and pay they can live on is a big step forward.

I'm so glad we have this vid from 2007!

Homecare Giving is some of the most important work for taking care of our elderly and disabled.

Getting home health care keeps a lot of seniors out of nursing homes and incidentally costs the states a lot less, not to mention the quality of life improvement.

Thank you so much Tx.. I updated with the Vid and h/t you!

many, many, many of them have hearts of gold like Miss Pauline. consideration & respect of their service to our nation of elderly and infirm is a long time coming.

regarding Pauline Beck's work...thanks to Tx4obama and here it is.. it's Sweet.

all the way from oakland. gratitude for all her years of service to her "calling". awesome, just awesome.

hopemountain.

Thanks to Tx we got that news, too!
