Outsourcing the Preznit

I do not know where this came from, a friend sent it to me. If anyone knows, where this came from, let me know so I can cite the sources. But, the more important question is: Can we do this?

Washington DC - Congress today announced that the Office of President of the United Staes will be outsourced to overseas interests as of October 31st. The move is being made to save $400K a year in salary, a record $521 Billion in deficit expenditures and related overhead. "The cost savings will be quite significant" says Congressman Adam Smith( D - Wash) who, with the aid of GAO (General Accounting Office) has studied outsourcing of American jobs extensively. "We simply can no longer afford this level of outlay and remain competitive in the world stage," Congressman Smith said.

Mr. Bush was informed by email this morning of the termination of his position. He will receive health coverage, expenses and salary until his final day of employment. After that, with a two week waiting period, he will then be eligible for $240 a week from unemployment insurance for 13 weeks. Unfortunately, he will not be able to recieve state Medicaid health insurance coverage as his unemployment benefits are over the required limit.

Preparations have been underway for some time for the job move. Sanji Gurvinder Singh of Indus Teleservices, Mumbai, India will be assuming the Office of President of the United Staes as of November 1. Mr Singh was born in the United States while his parents were here on student visas, thus making him eligible for the position. He will receive a salary of $320 (US) a month but with no health coverage or other benefits. Due to the time differnce between the US and India, Mr. Singh will be working primarily at night when offices of the US Government will be open. "I am excited to serve in this position," Mr. Singh stated in a exclusive interview. "Working nights will let me keep my day job at the American Express call center. I always knew I could be President someday."

Congress stressed patience when calling Mr. Singh as he may not be fully aware of all the issues involved with his new position. A Congressional Spokesperson noted that Mr. Singh has been given a script tree to follow which will allow him to respond to most topics of concern. The Spokesperson further noted that "additional savings will be realized as these scripting tools have been successfully used by Mr. Bush and will enable Mr. Singh to provide an answer without having to fully understand the issue itself."

Mr. Bush has been offered the use of a Congressional Page to help him write a resume and prepare for his upcoming job transition. According to Manpower, Inc., the placement firm, Mr. Bush may have difficulties in securing a new position as job prospects in the Sports Franchise Ownership arena remain limited. A recently released report from the Pentagon suggests a good prospect for him as a newly unemployed person may be in the Army National Guard. There he would be called up with his unit and stationed in Iraq, a country he has visited briefly before. "I've been there, I know all about Iraq and the conditions there," stated Mr. Bush. He gained valuable knowledge of the country in his first visit at the Baghdad Airport non-smoking terminal and gift shop.

Congress continues to explore other outsourcing possibilities including that of Vice-president and most Cabinet positions.
