Back in 2007 Senator Obama spent a day as a home health care worker (updated)

Back in 2007 Senator Obama spent the morning in a home of an elderly man: sweeping/mopping the floor, making his bed, making his breakfast, doing the laundry, etc.
The first video below shows Senator Obama working in the home - and the second video is an update.

A Promise Kept: Pauline and Homecare Workers

In 2007 then-Senator Barack Obama spent a day with Pauline Beck, a homecare worker. He worked alongside her, getting to know the daily life and concerns of a homecare worker. Now, as President, he has taken action that will require homecare workers recieve at least a minimum wage and overtime protections - which many were previously exempt from.

Something that Rmoney would NEVER do!

Edited to add the first 2007 VIDEO - I found it
