Obama unemployment news conference featured Va. woman convicted of drug fraud

A simple background check could have saved the Barack Obama administration from the latest embarrassment after his news conference last week that urged Congress to extend unemployment insurance. By the President's side at the White House were three Americans who had lost their jobs and who would need the extension when their benefits ran out.

One of the unemployed was Leslie Macko, a Charlottesville, Va, woman who reportedly had been dismissed from her job as an aesthetician at the spa of the Atlantic Coast Athletic Club (ACAC) in Albemarle Square, according to Charlottesville's CBS 19:

CBS19's Jessica Jaglois has learned that Macko was found guilty of prescription drug fraud in March 2009, one month before Macko lost her job at ACAC. She served a one year probationary sentence.

Macko joined two other unemployed people and President Obama at the podium for a speech designed to encourage lawmakers 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.

Ed Morrissey at Hot Air asked questions that are have been brought up by others who were puzzled at the White House's latest lapse in vetting:

Why is our money going to support a convicted fraudster? And why can’t the White House do research, for crying out loud?

...

The story says that no one can be sure that the fraud conviction is what caused Macko to lose her job, but it’s certainly not helping her find a new one.

Check out video of CBS 19's newscast that shows portions of the White House news conference.

Whats so startling Tam-- you wanted to put a First Lady in the White House that was not only a prescription drug addict- but that admitted to fraud and stealing drugs from her foundation to support her addiction...
But do to her wealth and connections- Cindi McCain only got a deferred prosecution...

And your cultist idol spokesman- Rush- is a convicted drug addict and committed prescription fraud to get his drugs... But you live on his every word of hate he spiels.....

HYPOCRITE

OMG Oldtimer Please step away from the booze bottle :roll:
And before you start throwning stones at Cindi and Rush maybe you should remember who is sitting in the OVAL OFFICE that you defend everyday. Did he not admit to smoking pot and sniffing Cocaine while in college? Is it legal to do drugs in the US Oldtimer? If not then Obama was breaking laws wasn't he? And as far as what I live on I will tell you one thing it is not the crap Obama spiels everyday.

Did you hear him on the View today. He said "We can't be campaigning all the time sometime we have to stop and actually get some work done"

What a damn joke coming from a guy that has been on the campaign trail for years and even after he won he is still out there campaigning. But who can blame him he has proven all he can do is campaign as he sure the H*LL is not a leader and is willing to role up his sleeves and doing anything to Presidentual. :roll: :roll: :roll:

At least he remembers doing it-- GW told Scott McClellan he was so stoned and drunk he remembers being there when it was being used- but can't remember if he used coke or not.... :roll: :( :(

And if you don't see the hypocrisy of you chastising a common person for having a drug problem-or even Obamas use- while pooh-poohing and rationalizing away for your elitist cult leaders doing the same or even worse, there ain't much hope for you ever realizing right or wrong ...

Probably old Rush and Cindi should have lost their jobs too-- but instead their multi millionaire status made them icons amongst the radical right..

Were both Cindi and Rush wanting to continue to suck from the social welfare system after their indiscretions, or were they using their own money to fund their problems and fixes?

So you believe if you have wealth- or political power- you should be able to break the law- and just because it doesn't cost the system anything- it should be treated differently than the commoner that does the same thing.... :???: :roll:

I'm starting to think the radical rights worship of wealth and the wealthy could be the downfall of the country....Its definitely creating a bigger and bigger division in this country....

No, but you're trying to compare apples to radishes---just admit the man and his group of credential-lacking misfits didn't do their job--it's an embarrassment. So, to pull one of your moves: you think that those who lose their jobs because they break the law deserve to be on unemployment indeterminately? Boy, I'm beginning to think the liberals/libertarians worship all sorts of wrong-doing, which will result in the downfall of this once great country---for sure that kind of thinking causes a bigger divide in this country :D

Where did I chastise her Oldtimer? I think if you reread the post you will see I said NOTHING about her. :roll: BTW if it was the first time this Administration had screwed up, it probably could be overlooked but face it this is not the first time. This Administration has a record of screwing up. Or did you forget all the Tax Cheats and people under investigation that Obama was to have vetted before appointing them. :roll: Not to mention the recent firing that had to be apologized for and the Beer summit to sooth over his stupid comment about how the police acted and the less than thoughtful gifts he has been presenting to VIP, the bowing, The apology tour he made shall I go on? Defend him Oldtimer and by all means live on the crap he spiels but don't attack me for seeing how incompetent he and his whole White House Staff is. :roll:

One more thing, is it OK with you that Obama broke the law as long as he remembers doing it? :? :roll: I guess if someone is brought up in front of you Mr Judge as long as they say they remember doing it they will be allowed to walk. :wink:

The Libertarians platform is that all drugs should be legalized...
They can see the war on drugs has been a farce and long ago lost..

Since the major portion of your college grads have tried drugs in some form or fashion (which makes them all eligible to be criminals) I have to agree with that....(FBI and Federal Law Enforcement had to drop their "could never have used drugs" hiring policy in the early 80's because they were losing too many top recruits)..
I think our efforts should go more toward prevention education and addiction treatment...
But if we legalized drugs we would bankrupt the warlords of Afghanistan and countries like Mexico and others in Central and South America...
