Have you heard the one about President Obama and the unemployed woman?

Barack Obama said we need to extend unemployment compensation for women like Leslie Macko. He didn’t know she was fired for prescription drug fraud.

We actually wish this was a joke, but it’s not.

On July 19, President Obama called in the media to promote the Democrats’ latest extension of unemployment benefits. To help make his point, he brought in one of his patented human props, a Florida woman named Leslie Macko, who has been out of work for more than a year now.

Cue the gnashing of teeth and let the Democrat wailing begin. “Oh, poor Leslie Macko. We must do something for the Leslie Mackos of the world.”

“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,” the President ominously intoned. “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.”

Unfortunately, no one at the White House bothered to research why Leslie Macko was unemployed. They should have.

Turns out Macko was canned from her job as an esthetician after being was convicted of prescription drug fraud.

Just like these clowns should all be canned for Hope and Change fraud.
