USAToday Sept 11, 2007: Washington DC (AP) -- Congress today announced that the office of President of the United States of America will be outsourced to India as of October 2007.
The move is being made in order to save the President's $500,000 yearly salary and also a record $521 billion in deficit expenditures and related overhead the office has incurred during the last 5 years.
"We believe this is a wise financial move. The cost savings are huge." Mr. Bush was informed by e-mail this morning of his termination.
Preparations for the job move have been underway for some time. Gurvinder Singh of Indus Tele Services, Mumbai, India, will assume the office of President effective October 1, 2007. Mr. Singh was born in the United States while his Indian parents were vacationing, thus making him eligible for the position. He will receive a salary of $920 (US dollars) a month but with 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 when few offices of the US government will be open. "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 very 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 President Bush was not familiar with the issues either.
Following a two-week waiting period, Mr. Bush will be eligible for $140 a week unemployment for 13 weeks. Mr. Bush has been provided the outplacement services of Manpower, Inc., to help him write a resume and prepare for his upcoming job transition. According to Manpower, Mr. Bush may have difficulties in securing a new position due to limited practical or successful work experience. A greeter position at Wal-Mart was suggested due to Bush's extensive experience shaking hands as well as his special smile.
