Wonder why she CANT find a job.. with a felony conviction...

(CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA) -- Charlottesville resident Leslie Macko was once employed at ACAC in the Albemarle Square Shopping Center. In April 2009, she lost her job as an aesthetician in the spa at ACAC.

President Barack Obama called on Congress last week to extend unemployment insurance. Macko stood next to the President of the United States as his example of the need to extend jobless benefits.

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.

ACAC owner Phil Wendel was unable to tell CBS19 if Macko was terminated because of the conviction. There's also no indication from the court file that Macko lost her job because of the court case, or that she has received unemployment benefits improperly.

CBS19 contacted Leslie Macko about the conviction, and she declined to comment until she speaks with her attorney. We have also reached out to the White House to see if they know the full story behind the woman they chose to stand next to President Obama, but have not received comment from them either.

She's lucky she got unemployment. Most employers would have fired her rather than laid her off. If indeed that's the case. Being laid off that is.

Arrested for pharma fraud, pleads guilty, convicted...then appears next to the President of the United States as an example of people who should get their unemployment extended...then goes on vacation.
Something seems strange here....

A person gets fired because of drugs is allowed to stand by Obama representing the unemployed, and he wants to run our health care system.

Amazing how fast people forget about that woman, whatshername, who made the racist remarks!

Felons sell SO many more newspapers!

To be fair this is not Obama's fault, not directly anyway.
He has some truly horrendous staff members who any day now will bring out Charles Manson to represent the need for more humane inmate treatment.
I doubt there has ever been a Presidential staff that has done such a terrible job vetting people. Almost surreal.
