99ers question for Obama

This page is for collaboratively drafting a question to President Obama re: 99ers to be asked by a member of the OC unemployment community for the post-SOTU "interview with the President." Please edit below and talk about edits in the discussion section for this page. "Millions of Americans have been squeezed out of the work force, unable to find new work in a job climate where there is only one job available for every 6 people looking. Since they've been out of work for so long, they are no longer eligible for unemployment insurance. With economists forecasting the jobless rate to stay above 9% for the rest of the year, what will you do to help these people stay afloat and reenter the workforce?" Quick side point: whoever reads the question should quickly preface that it was written collaboratively on the OpenCongress Wiki by x number of participants, an ad hoc group of unemployed activists, or whatever.
