Tomorrow, President Obama will announce that 300 companies have agreed to a plan that the White House claims will boost hiring of the long-term unemployed, which is a problem Democrats have promised America was going to be alleviated by any number of previous jobs initiatives.

CNN’s Jake Tapper:
“Because they’ve been unemployed … so long, folks are looking at that gap in the resume and they’re weeding them out before these folks even get a chance for an interview,” said Obama.
[…]
“Do not screen people out of the hiring process just because they’ve been out of work for a long time,” said the President.
So it is written. So it shall be done!
Does actually being qualified for the job count for anything?

@redsteeze is it just me, or is this going to be the next Affirmative Action? "You must hire someone that doesn't have a job" @markknoller
