Local Woman Convicted of Drug Fraud Joins Obama at the Podium

President Barack Obama posed with a Charlottesville woman at a White House event on July 19. What we didn't know - and what the White House may not have known - is that court records show she's been found guilty of prescription drug fraud.

(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.

It seems like every time Lord Zero holds forth someone as an example of why we need some law passed, they don't tell us the whole story.

They NEVER tell the truth do they?

This is a perfect example of Obama's White House and his whole toilet admin.

By all rights she shouldn't be getting unemployment benefits. I would think if you got fired for something criminal that they would deny you.
