Open White House

(Washington) Last November, Michaele and Tareq Salahi crashed White House state dinner, passing through several layers of security, despite not being on the guest list.

Last week, an unemployed Virginia woman, Leslie Macko, who had a prior conviction for drug fraud, was able to join President Obama in the Rose Garden for an announcement regarding unemployment benefits.

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.

Heh. It seems the Obama administration couldn't find three people without criminal records among millions of people unemployed? Embarrassing, eh?
