OUTSOURCING JOBS REACHES NEW HEIGHTS
by Staff Reporter Melinda Jill

Washington DC - Congress today announced that the Office of President of the United States will be outsourced to overseas interests. 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 the GAO (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 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 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.

  Preparations have been underway for some time for the job move.  Sandi Grinder Singh of Indus Teleservices, Mumbai, India, will be assuming the Office of  President of the United States. 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 difference 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 an 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 invaluable knowledge of the country in his first visit at the Baghdad Airport non-smoking terminal and gift shop.

   Meanwhile in Baghdad, Iraq, sources report that local Iraqis say Mr. Bush would receive an especially warm reception from them. Such sources stated the Iraqis only request would be to be informed of which convoy he would be riding in order to give him the welcome he so richly deserves.

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