99ers (millions of unemployed) aren't covered.
Of the 6 million people receiving unemployment benefits, Obama's deal covers only 2 million, and many of them will get crumbs from his deal -- In spite of the 13-month extension, benefits will be cut off for many of those in the coming months when they reach 99-weeks. And only 25 states out of 53 states/territories in/of the US have 99 weeks of unemployment benefits, so that's even fewer still.
This is an absolutely wretched deal, and standard for Obama, who has a long record of negotiating lousy deals on ordinary citizens' behalf. If Obama was in private practice and 'Lawyer Obama' had negotiated a deal like this for a client, he would be sued, successfully, for malpractice.
The purpose of this deal is so that political operatives can say on websites like, "Obama helped the unemployed", and most won't know the actual facts of how Obama sold out the American people. Again.
The more we see of Obama in action, the more 'deals' he makes, the more people realize what a fraud Obama is, and a continuation of the cruel policies of Bush-Cheney.
