First scare the heck out of businesses and discourage hiring, then extend unemployment insurance to two years to increase long-term unemployment, and finally make it easy to sue businesses for allegedly excluding the unemployed. I'm glad we have such a smart president /s.

Every time I see this proposal I am struck at just how d*mn dumb it is. You might as well title it the “If you aren’t employed now you never will be again” Bill.

No Business is going to risk interviewing ANY unemployed person for any position.

My guess is that Obama could not even DEFINE “free enterprise.”

Hey, I’m unemployed, well actually retired, but UNEMPLOYED. Does this mean that I am now a “protected class”? Oh goody. What do I get? Trips like on Wheel of Fortune?

The only people in America that do NOT belong to an Obama “Protected Class” are native-born, employed, non-obese, non-union, straight, White males.

Well sure, when you put it like that it looks bad. But, The Won says these items are not related in any way and you should just go on about your day.

Boy, that is just frecking brilliant! Make the Unemployed “protected”. Then companies can be sued for not hiring the unemployed. Yeah, that’ll make companies want to stay in the US and invest. [/s]

Really, his agenda is to turn us into a bunch of mind-numbed, lazy bastards—totally dependent on the Government for handouts.

Unsuccessful job applicants could sue and recover damages for violations, just like when an employer discriminates on the basis of a person’s race, color, religion, sex or national origin.

It's like this guy lies awake at night thinking of ways to screw the private sector. It's one thing after the next.

But he thinks he has found a way to pry open doors in the workplace for many of the unemployed, especially those who have been out of work for a long time.

And yet, by constantly extending unemployment benefits, government provides ever greater positive incentives for those who have lost their jobs to remain unemployed for ever longer periods of time.

As a number of economists have shown, when unemployment benefits are extended, someone who has lost a job -- e.g., an engineer -- is further incentivized to remain unemployed until he has found another engineering job. That job might not actually exist. What the economy -- and the unemployed engineer, by the way -- really needs, however, is simply for the unemployed engineer to get off the public dole system and to start pulling his own weight. That might require that he accept a less-than-ideal job, perhaps on a production line somewhere.

Seems like everyone is a “Protected Status” citizen, except for the people who make this country work ...

Relatively few long-term unemployed have been diligently and energetically seeking employment during the whole time. Most have gone on “funemployment” for a while, and afterward, or perhaps when the benefits were drying up, decided to seriously pursue a new position.

This is just my opinion, as formed from numerous news stories. YMMV.

The reason businesses like to hire people who are already employed is the same reason women like to date men already in a relationship.

Should Uncle 0bamao make THAT illegal discrimination also?
