Congress Votes to Outsource the Presidency
Washington , DC -- July 04, 2009
Congress today announced that the office of President of the United States of America will be outsourced to India as of September 1, 2009.
The move is being made in order to save the President's $400,000 yearly salary, and also a record $750 billion in deficit expenditures and related overhead that his office has incurred during the last 3 months.
It is anticipated that $7 trillion can be saved to the end of the President's term. "We believe this is a wise financial move. The cost savings are huge," stated Congressman Thomas Reynolds (R-WA). "We cannot remain competitive on the world stage with the current level of cash outlay," Reynolds noted.
Obama was informed by email this morning of his termination. Preparations for the job move have been underway for some time.
Gurvinder Singh, a tele-technician for Indus Teleservices, Mumbai India , will assume the office of President as of September 1, 2009. Mr. Singh was born in the United States while his Indian parents were vacationing at Niagara Falls , NY . Thus making him eligible for the position. He will receive a salary of $320 (USD) a month, but no health coverage or other benefits.
It is believed that Mr. Singh will be able to handle his job responsibilities without a support staff. Due to the time difference between the US and India , he will be working primarily at night. "Working nights will allow me to keep my day job at the Dell Computer call center," stated Mr. Singh in an exclusive interview.
"I am excited about this position. I always hoped I would be President."
A Congressional spokesperson noted that while Mr. Singh may not be fully aware of all the issues involved in the office of President, this should not be a problem as Obama had never been familiar with the issues either.
Mr. Singh will rely upon a script tree that will enable him to respond effectively to most topics of concern. Using these canned responses, he can address common concerns without having to understand the underlying issue at all. "We know these scripting tools work," stated the spokesperson.
"Obama has used them successfully for years, with the result that some people actually thought he knew what he was talking about."
Obama will receive health coverage, expenses, and salary until his final day of employment. Following a two-week waiting period, he will be eligible for $140 a week unemployment for 26 weeks. Unfortunately he will not be eligible for Medicaid, as his unemployment benefits will exceed the allowed limit.
Obama has been provided with the outplacement services of Manpower, Inc. to help him write a resume and prepare for his upcoming job transition. According to Manpower, Obama may have difficulties in securing a new position due to a lack of any successful work experience during his lifetime.
A greeter position at Wal-Mart was suggested due to Obama's extensive experience at shaking hands, as well as his special smile.

if you wish of a local honey.
- Place the teabags dipped into the Pyrex container as well, and pour your hot water
into the Pyrex, approx 2.25 Cups of water...
- Let them steep and break up the honey into the liquid as well, after about 7-9
minutes, take the teabags out and stir the mixture a bit to get the honey separated.

then pour the concentrated tea over it.
- Add ice and more water until it fills to a desired level, and place in the fridge until it cools.
It's cool, refreshing and will make you feel a lot better in general!

Battlefield 1943
Battlefield 1943 may come as a bit of a disappointment to those who have played Battlefield 1942.
BF1942 came out a few years ago, but still has many people that play it - Why might this be?
A few simple things - MODS, MODS, MODS, MODS, MODS! And akin to it's other releases such as Battlefield 2 and 2142, there are weapon unlocks and other additional things to entice you to keep playing. (Number of people knifed for instance.)
As far as it goes, I've been playing on my console system, the PS3 that I've been attempting to get GNU Octave going on again, and that may also curtail my feelings of how great a game BF 1943 is.
Problems I have noticed so far:
- System Freezes a few times
- Lag
- No ping time indications that I have noticed, unlike other BF versions
- Random server timeouts
Why isn't anyone making a lib for keyboard and mouse controls on the console systems? It just makes SENSE! Why neither Sony, Nintendo, or Microsoft have done this I will never understand.
Sure give us weird and interesting controllers like the camera facial recognition stuff, and things like Wii controllers, but when it comes to the old school fps why can't we use our keyboards and mice?
I think 1943 is a cool game for $12, but it's no BF 1942/2142/BF2
