Crowds flock to work for Obama

Thanks to Tom Watson for this gem of the news.

Over 300,000 people have applied to work for President Elect Barack Obama.They have been chasing 3,300 jobs.This compares to 44,000 who applied four years ago to the Bush administration.

Going back 40 years the Nixon administration were so unsure that anyone would want to work for them that they sent out 70,000 letters to potential applicants.

How times have changed.
