White House Reacts to Guest's Criminal Past
UPDATE: White House Reacts to Guest's Criminal Past
Obama presented this woman as someone we should extend unemployment benefits for.
She lost her job last year as Obama says, however she was also convicted last year of felony prescription drug fraud and also in 2007 for larceny, twice.
Looks like someone needs to start vetting guests and those the WH holds out to the public in looking for sympathy in extending benefits like unemployment.
"We need to extend unemployment compensation benefits for women like Leslie Macko, who lost her job at a fitness center last year, and has been looking for work ever since. Because she's eligible for only a few more weeks of unemployment, she's doing what she never thought she'd have to do. Not at this point, anyway. She's turning to her father for financial support," Obama said in his speech.
