another job has been outsourced. enjoy the humor.

I don't know where this came from, but it has been flying though the email servers at work.

Congress today announced that the Office of President of the United States
will be outsourced to overseas as of September 30, the end of this fiscal
year. The move is being made to save $450,000 a year in salary and benefits.
"The cost savings will be quite significant" says Congressman Adam Smith (D
-Wash) who, with the aid Congress research arm, the 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 added.
President 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 dollars a week from unemployment insurance for 13
weeks. Unfortunately he will not be able to receive state Medicaid health
insurance coverage as his unemployment benefits are over the required limit.
I'm in shock," Bush stated. "I thought for sure I'd have some job security
around this place. I have no idea what I'll do now," he further lamented.
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 States as of July 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 USD a
month but with no health coverage or other benefits. Due to the time
difference
between the US and India, Mr. Singh will be working primarily at night, when
offices of the US Government are open.
"I am excited to serve in this position," Mr. Singh stated in an exclusive
interview. "Working nights will let me keep my day job at the American
Express
call center. I always knew I could be a President someday."
Congress stressed that patience will be required when contacting 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 already been used previously by President Bush
here in the US. Such scripts will enable Mr. Singh to provide an answer
without
having to understand the issue itself."
Congress continues to explore other outsourcing possibilities including that
of vice president and most Cabinet positions."
