Notice to All Employees

As of November 5, 2008, when President Obama is officially elected into office, our company will instill a few new policies which are in keeping with his new, inspiring issues of change and fairness:

1. All salespeople will be pooling their sales commissions into a common pool that will be divided equally between all of you. This will serve to give those of you who are underachieving a 'fair shake.'

2. All hourly employees will be pooling their wages, including overtime, into a common pool, dividing it equally amongst yourselves. This will help those who are 'too busy for overtime' to reap the rewards from those who have more spare time and can work extra hours.

3. All top management will now be referred to as 'the government.' We will not participate in this 'pooling' experience because the law doesn't apply to us.

4. The 'government' will give eloquent speeches to all employees every week, encouraging its workers to continue to work hard 'for the good of all.'

5. The employees will be thrilled with these new policies because it's 'good to spread the wealth.' Those of you who have underachieved will finally get an opportunity; those of you who have worked hard and had success will feel more 'patriotic.'

6. The last few people who were hired should clean out their desks. Don't feel bad though, because President Obama will give you free healthcare, free handouts, free oil for heating your home, free food stamps, and he'll let you stay in your home for as long as you want even if you can't pay your mortgage.

If you appeal directly to our democratic congress, you might even get a free flat screen TV and a coupon for free haircuts (shouldn't all Americans be entitled to nice looking hair?) !!! If for any reason you are not happy with the new policies, you may want to rethink your vote on November 4th.

Quote of the Day..... 'My friends, we live in the greatest nation in
the history of the world.  I hope you'll join with me as we try to
change it.' -- Barack Obama 
 
(Question Sir -  Please Mr. Obama, I do not understand..... IF it is
the greatest, why do we want to change it?  Change to what?  What will you change? 
According to your Rev. Jeremiah Wright, and your wife, will the
evil, racist, selfish, WHITE people be able to overcome their sinister ways?)

Control

Remember the election in November of 2006 when the Democrats
were 'voted in'? In January of 2007 they 'TOOK CONTROL' of
Congress, meaning both the Senate and the House of Representatives?

NOW just before they took control,
over 15 months ago:

1) Consumer confidence stood at a 2 1/2 year high;
2) Regular gasoline sold for $2.19 a gallon;
3) The unemployment rate was 4.5%.

NOW since voting in a Democratically controlled
Congress in 2006, (which assumed full control in
January of 2007) we have seen:

1) Consumer confidence plummet;
2) The cost of regular gasoline soar to over $3.50 a gallon;
3) Unemployment up to 5% (a 10% increase);
4) American households watching $2.3 trillion in equity value
evaporate (stock and mutual fund losses);
5) Americans watching their home equity drop by $1.2 trillion
dollars;
6) 1% of American homes in foreclosure.
7) Democrats blaming President Bush, with the Dim Dems having
absolutely NO solutions.

America voted for 'change' in 2006, and we got it....
CAN WE SURVIVE IT MUCH LONGER???

According to The Constitution of these United States (which I know liberals don't believe in anymore), you have to actually be BORN a U.S. citizen to hold the office of President of the United States.

gov't because job security is next in line.

Oh wait, gov't jobs have pensions.. wow the whole population pretty

WHY I AM VOTING DEMOCRAT

Because I watch TV and I’m Very Informed.

Because I believe the government will do a better job of spending the money I earn than I would.

Because freedom of speech is fine as long as nobody is offended by it.

Because when we pull out of Iraq I trust that the bad guys will stop what they're doing because they now think we're good people.

Because I believe that people who can't tell us if it will rain on Friday CAN tell us that the polar ice caps will melt away in ten years if I don't start driving a Prius.

Because I'm not concerned about the slaughter of millions of babies so long as we keep all death row inmates alive.

Because I believe that business should not be allowed to make profits for themselves. They need to break even and give the rest away to the government for redistribution as it sees fit.

Because I believe liberal judges need to rewrite the Constitution every few days to suit some fringe kooks who would NEVER get their agendas past the voters.

Because I believe that open borders and government give-aways to foreigners is a great way to grow a nation.

Because I'm way too irresponsible to own a gun, and I know that my local police are all I need to protect me from murderers and thieves.

Because I love the fact that I can now marry whatever I want. I've decided to marry my horse.

Because I believe oil companies' profits of 4% on a gallon of gas are obscene but the government taxing the same gallon of gas at 15% isn't.

And because I love 'CHANGE'.

What do the top ten cities with the highest poverty rate all have in common?

Detroit, MI (1st on the poverty rate list) hasn't elected a Republican mayor since 1961;

Buffalo, NY (2nd) hasn't elected one since 1954;

Cincinnati, OH (3rd)...since 1984;

Cleveland, OH (4th)...since 1989;

Miami, FL (5th) has never had a Republican mayor;

St. Louis, MO (6th)....since 1949;

El Paso, TX (7th) has never had a Republican mayor;

Milwaukee, WI (8th)...since 1908;

Philadelphia, PA (9th)...since 1952;

Newark, NJ(10th)...since 1907.

Einstein once said, "The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results."

It is the disadvantaged who habitually elect Democrats --- yet are still disadvantaged.

    Welcome to Toastmasters, June 13, 2033. That's right: 2033.

    Today Rick Campbell, one of our senior members at age 87, is
  here to reminisce a bit and give us a history lesson.  He says he
  is so old that he learned to drive an internal combustion engine
  car (remember those) with a manual transmission.  He once owned a
  typewriter.  He remembers when bicycles had one speed, phones had
  two-party lines, and cameras had something called film.  As
  incredible as this may seem, he says that when he was young, it
  was common for people to smoke in restaurants and public places.
  He is from a different time; almost a different world.

   I'm sure all of us are far too familiar with the tragic events
  of 2010, so Rick is not going to plow that fertile field again.
  Instead, he is going to give us a personal look back at the
  conditions which led up to that fateful year, in a speech titled
  "2010 Was Not A Good Year To Be President."

   "2010 Was Not A Good Year To Be President"

   Yes, 2010 was long ago and far away.

   As we look back on history, it appears that some Presidents had
   an easy ride-times of growth and stability.  Teddy Roosevelt,
   Warren G. Harding, Dwight Eisenhower, Bill Clinton come to mind.
   Those were good years to be President.

   Others were elected just when the Republic was facing terrible
   crises: Abraham Lincoln, Woodrow Wilson, Franklin Roosevelt,
   George W. Bush.  They rose to the occasion, even though they were
   controversial and widely hated while in office.  Not such good
   years to be President.

   Just a few years prior, in 2008, the country began foundering.
   We were in the sixth year of the Iraqi Occupation, and the economy
   was flat.  The mainstream press clearly wanted a Democrat elected.

   Although we didn't know it until some years later, oil producing
   nations had colluded to secretly buy their own oil on the open
   market, driving oil prices to shocking levels above the true
   demand price-reaching a high of $162 a barrel in October, 2008,
   just before the general elections.

   Their purpose was simple: to effect regime change in the United States .

   And of course, the U.S. economy was already in a real estate
   slump and also suffering the curse of stagflation; slow growth and high
   inflation.

   There were a million home foreclosures.

   Independent truckers went under by the thousands.

   Airlines failed.  Airlines with names now long-forgotten:
   United, Delta, Northwestern, American.  All now merged, of course,
   into the one lone U.S. carrier we love so much: Southwest.

   Against this backdrop of weariness of the war on terror, and
   economic distress, the American people were ripe for a demagogue,
   and they certainly got one in Barack Hussein Obama.

   He and his running mate Biden inspired them with
   vague notions of hope and change; of a world in which diplomacy
   settled all international problems, of free universal health care,
   of abundant alternative energy, of peace and love.

    It was a vision too good to resist.

   The Republican nominee, a name you probably haven't heard in
   years anyone?  Yes, it was John McCain, an obscure Senator from
   Arizona had no clue how to run a national campaign, and a platform
   nearly as liberal as Obama's.

   Even so, the McCain ticket would have won the election if
   it weren't for the fact that 16 percent of conservative
   Republicans voted for anyone remember?  That's right, Bob Barr,
   another name that's a footnote in history.

   After Obama's narrow win, thanks to recounts in Broward County,
   Florida, the country was positively giddy.  A Democrat House,
   Senate, and President.  At last an end to gridlock in Washington.Camelot!

   When Congress convened in January, 2009, the 44th President of
   the United States did something unique in history: he made good on
   his campaign promises.

   Certainly most Americans never really thought he was serious
   during the campaign.  But whether because of inexperience,
   idealism, or simply incompetence, he followed through.

   In Obama's first One Hundred Days, the Congress passed his
   initiatives, and he signed them into law as he said he would.

   He repealed the Bush tax cuts, and increased capital gains taxes.

   He enacted a windfall profits tax, and instituted price controls
   on gasoline and diesel fuel.

   He passed universal health care, which added an additional 10
   percent tax increase on all working Americans.  He signed the
   Immigrant Amnesty bill which created 12 million new citizens
   instantly, each with entitlements.

   He closed the detention facility at Guantanamo Bay, and
   summarily released all the detainees.

   He repealed the Patriot Act, and cut funding for espionage, and
   eliminated all terrorist listening and wiretaps.

   Most important, he began the complete and immediate withdrawal
   of all American troops from  Iraq ..

   He ignored the advice of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, who wanted
   to retain bases in Kuwait and Qatar.  Instead, he went with the
   recommendation of Secretary of Defense Dennis Kucinich, and
   ordered all troops back to U.S. soil.

   Viola! In One Hundred Days, by May of 2009, it was all done, and
   the vision was complete.  He did exactly what he said he would do.

   And so it was in the summer of 2009 that things began to unravel
   for Obama.

   Of course, the economy needed a tax cut, not an increase, and
   unemployment quickly rose to 12 percent.  Even attorneys and
   economists were put in the bread lines.  Hard times.

   Price controls on gasoline immediately led to shortages and gas
   lines.
   
    The global cooling trend we have seen for the past 25 years
   first became obvious in 2009, exposing the CO2 global warming
   fraud.  People were justifiably angry.

   Federal deficits increased massively because thousands of baby
   boomers, facing job loss and much higher taxes, simply gave up and
   took social security.

   Although the superb U.S. health care system was thrown into
  disarray, the bright spot was the creation of the Federal
  Department of Health care, and the immediate hiring of 250,000
  administrators, inspectors and auditors, the only job growth in
  any economic sector in 2009.

   By February 2010, the U.S. military withdrawal from Iraq was
  complete.  It was a very expensive undertaking.

   And then in March, the gradual Shiite insurgencies from Iran
  turned into a true Iraqi civil war.  In May, Iranian tanks crossed
  the border and quickly took  Baghdad.  Although the exact number
  is not know, at least 230,000 Sunni Iraqis died as we stood by.

   Iran also quickly moved into undefended Kuwait .

   President Obama did exactly what he said he would.  He sent
  Secretary of State Maria Cantwell to Tehran to meet with Iranian
  President Ahmadinejad.

   After two weeks of high level talks, the United States agreed to
  allow Iran to retain Iraq and Kuwait to create stability in the
  middle east, with the understanding that  Israel would not be
  disturbed.

   Cantwell returned to Washington, and explained the agreement in
  her famous speech, in which she proudly noted that the Obama
  administration had finally achieved "peace in our time" in the
  Middle East .

   So there was some surprise at the rocket attacks on Tel Aviv on
  August 14th.

   President Obama said, "This is not the Mahmoud Ahmadinejad I knew."

    The Obama administration decided it would be de-stabilizing to
   take sides in the conflict, and approximately 29,000 Israeli
   civilians died during the summer and fall.

    American Jews were appalled at the inaction.  Yes, in 2010 most
   American Jews were Democrats, but because of 2010, they are solid
   Republicans today.

    As awkward as it was, everything might have turned out all right
   for the Obama administration going into the fall mid-term
   elections of 2010, if it hadn't been for the dirty bomb in the
   Port of Long Beach.

    The administration had cut funding for the inspection of
   containers, because they felt it showed a "lack of trust" in the
   international trading community.

    It wasn't really a very big bomb, and thank goodness, not a real
   nuclear device, but nonetheless it contaminated some expensive
   real estate - Newport Beach, Palos Verdes Estates - and ultimately
   caused the death of 14,000 Americans.  People were especially
   annoyed that Disneyland had to be closed for decontamination.

    And so, in the midterm elections, Republicans regained control
   of both the House and Senate, and the rest is history.

    The impeachment proceedings against President Obama for "failure
   to protect and defend" were swift and nearly unanimous.  Vice
   President Sibelius resigned. Newly-elected Speaker of the House,
   J.C. Watts, became the 45th President of the United States.
   But you know the rest of the story well.

    Republicans finished the war on Islamic fundamentalists, largely
  by aiming ICBM's at Mecca and Medina.

    No Democrat has been elected President since.

    Republicans have held both Houses of Congress.

   History of Western Civilization and Economics are now taught in
   all public schools, and in English only.

    Marriage is defined as one man and one woman.

    And there are border fences, north and south.  We old codgers
   remember the ancient Confucian curse: "May you live in interesting
   times."

    Well, 2010 was an interesting year, but it was not a good year
   to be President."
