WASHINGTON — President Obama is backing legislation that would prohibit employers from discriminating against job applicants because they are unemployed.
Under the proposal, it would be "an unlawful employment practice" if a business with 15 or more employees refused to hire a person "because of the individual's status as unemployed."
Unsuccessful job applicants could sue and recover damages for violations, just as when an employer discriminates on the basis of a person's race, color, religion, sex or national origin.

What a fool we have in the White House.
Yeah he's a fool, because the unemployed are all lazy freeloaders. It's not like they are being turned away from jobs just because they are already unemployed.
How could they possible enforce that?!?! Lawsuits would be endless.
I wonder what he will think of next, oh wait he will probably go on another vacation to think about it...
You can tell he's never had to make payroll.
1249-BINGo!! Another gift to lawyers--endless lawsuits.
Another way for him to get votes! No job & Bama says sue so they will vote for him. What a maroon to quote Bugs!
