Barack Obama actually said...

"Because every job applicant deserves a fair shot."

"Agencies shall not make an unfavorable determination with respect to the suitability, fitness, or qualifications of an applicant for Federal employment because that applicant is or was unemployed."

"The long-term unemployed are frequently overlooked and sometimes excluded from job opportunities."

"These are real, practical, achievable solutions to help shift the odds back in favor of more working families."
