More Info to Follow, but....CBC Talks Unemployment Insurance with President Obama

Did you say UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE? Five members of the CBC, Rep. Emanuel Cleaver of Missouri, Del. Donna Christensen of the Virgin Islands, G.K. Butterfield of North Carolina, Andre Carson of Indiana and Yvette Clarke of New York, met with President Obama yesterday at the White House for about an hour. It’s tricky with this meeting to know what will come up. Often, a meeting is planned on one topic and ends up floating on to another. But a note to the 99ers and all who are concerned about unemployment insurance: IT DID COME UP AT THE MEETING.

Man, I'm gonna catch a lota flack on this one, but I am starting to think that H.R.589 smells a lot like the Senate S.3706 bill that got us all excited and now look where the heck has Stabenow been? I just hope Mrs. Lee is in this for the long haul unlike Stabenow was.

Oboma: And do we do with the 99ers?
CBC: Well odds are if they ain't working by now they won't be in 14 weeks

Oboma: But these are hard working Americans who voted for me
CBC: Yes but the are poor now and want any kind of change so they will vote
for the Repub. Canidate or Donald Trump

Oboma: Oh well the world needs ditch diggers
CBC: Not really sir, that's what the ileagal aliens are doing for very low pay

Oboma: So, with no unemployment or ditches to dig what will they do
CBC: Some will move in with parents friends, become homeless, suicide, and
turn to crime.

Oboma: Oh. Then America is headed for a real down fall.
CBC: Yes Mr. President, and because you didn't turn the country around like
you said you would,the voters will look at you like a failure.

Oboma: So if America is scr@wed then I'm scr@wed
CBC: Yes sir, that is American politics

Oboma: Dang, Oprah didn't tell me about this.
CBC: Yeah but it makes for a great movie on the OWN network.

Oboma: Ok, just tell the 99ers the GOP is against them they, they fight us,the
party of no, the debt and recession was inherited, did I leave anything
out?
CBC: No that's usual stuff that seems to prevent riots

Oboma: Throw in "The fight is not over, it has just begun" they love that sh!t
CBC: Yes sir great idea, they sure do eat it up, but can we add in a
"Let me be Clear"

Oboma: Absolutley, that's what got me elected. So we're done with the 99ers
CBC: Yes, if they can't help you in 2012 why help them now

I don't think this was funny. From what I read on the site of the CBC, the President scheduled the meeting for one hour. Just the fact that unemployment and the 99ers was mentioned is a good sign. Also, more meetings are being arranged.

Do you know how many people are counting on this as their last resort? IMO, to make a joke out of it is insulting to everyone who has been working so hard to get this bill passed. I am not a 99er yet, I will be in 3 weeks. I can't even imagine what it has been like for people who have been without unemployment benefits for over a year.

Sure, make a joke out of it, insult the people that will make it happen. Are we suppose to laugh when some people take you seriously and end it all because they have no hope left?

Sit down.

I removed the possibly offending statement.
