Obama Uses Convict in Photo Op for Unemployed
Flopping Aces ^ | 07-29-10 | Mike's America

Is there a competency problem at the White House?

Remember this recent photo of Obama trotting out three unemployed persons to use as props as he demanded that Congress increase the budget deficit and pass a further extension of unemployment benefits without paying for it?

Well, turns out the reason the woman on the right is unemployed is that she was convicted of prescription drug fraud charges in 2009 and is currently serving her sentence:

Leslie Macko, a Charlottesville resident, stood next to President Obama as his example of the need to extend jobless benefits.

"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 at the White House on July 19th.

Macko was once employed at ACAC Fitness and Wellness Center in the Albemarle Square Shopping Center. However, in April 2009, a month after being found guilty of prescription drug fraud, she lost her job as an aesthetician in the spa at ACAC.

Why don’t the Republicans gather together 100-200 of the wrongly fired mechanics and salesmen from the wrongly shut-down GM dealerships and have a press conference?

Most likely a dim party organizer and probably one of the few he could get to stand with him. What self-respecting Patriot would want to be one of 0bamao’s props?

Your comment is spot on. Criminals? Nothing to see here, now just move along...if they could only see how much they are embarrasing themselves, they would just stop putting out the TOTUS for the world to see and just let him take constant vacations like Carter did.

Remember the GM bondholders who lost everything when O took over GM?

We need to keep the facts out there to overcome O’s lies and the journOlist swearing to those lies.

I’m not sure either, but, I think the dividing line is conviction.

Is there someone on the inside working against the President or are they really this incompetent?

It would tickle my sense of the absurd if it was the first but I suspect it is more of the second.

Because that would require political competence. It’s not good enough to vote for conservatives. We need to find politically adroit conservatives who can win and get our agenda passed.
