Congress today announced that the office of President of  the United States 
of America will be outsourced to India as of October 12th,  2005. 
The move is being made to save the President's $400,000  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 move financially. The cost  savings should be 
significant," stated Congressman Thomas Reynolds (R-WA).  Reynolds, with the aid 
of the Government Accounting Office (GAO), has studied  outsourcing of American 
jobs extensively. "We cannot expect to remain  competitive on the world stage 
with the current level of cash outlay," Reynolds  noted. 
Mr. Bush was informed by email this morning of his  termination. Preparations 
for the job move have been underway for some time.  Gurvinder Singh of Indus 
Teleservices, Mumbai, India will be assuming the office  of President as of 
December 115th. Mr. Singh was born in the United States while  his Indian 
parents were vacationing at Niagara Falls, 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. 
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 
American Express call center, "stated Mr. Singh in an exclusive interview.  "I am 
excited about this position. I always hoped I would be President  someday." 
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 because Bush is not 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 issues at  all.
