Today I tried to reach President Obama to wish him the best for 2013. Also, I had some ideas to cut government spending. As you might expect, I got an automated answering message. Here’s the message.
Press 1 if we can cut you a check for any reason
Press 2 to make a contribution to my eternal campaign fund
Press 3 to speak to someone about a labor union issue
Press 4 to speak to someone about an environmental issue
Press 5 to talk to someone about raising taxes
Any accredited media, except Fox News, press 6 to speak to David Axelrod directly
Any Hollywood celebrity may press 7 to speak to Michelle directly(except Oprah, of course)
Any illegal immigrant seeking immediate citizenship press 8 for the automated green card line. If you are on the other side of one of our borders, press 9 for an escort across.
Anyone with any idea about cutting government spending, press zero for an operator.
So, I pressed zero. I got a recorded message that said, “the high level of calls is resulting in a long wait time. The estimated wait time is 4 years and 24 days”.
Bill. This is one of your better blogs. It is so sad how disfunctional are government is . Again I feel so sorry for our grandkids. We need to get the old People out of government and replace them with 40 year olds who this is going to effect. Everyone have a Happy New Year.
