Every day brings another example of the utter hypocrisy of Barack Obama and the Democrats. Here’s the latest.
The Obama administration announced it will outlaw unpaid internships, essentially destroying the ability of young American workers to obtain valuable job skills. But here’s the kicker, internships are only outlawed for private, for-profit companies. Non profits, like Obama’s Organizing for America are exempt.
Kerry Picket reports in The Washington Times:

This means less students can be brought in and gain valuable experience in a work place environment. The federal government is attempting to change the entire point of gaining work place skills and create yet another under-served demographic of victims falling prey to private sector companies.
It is amusing to see the Obama administration creating the image of poorly treated unpaid interns, when Mr. Obama’s Organizing for America offered internships to help elect the president during his presidential campaign and are still offering up unpaid internships today. In fact, the summer organizing program also does not even offer food, transportation, or housing stipends:
