You Work for Me!

You Work For Me!
An Open Letter to President Bush

Mr. President, you work for me. I am your boss. You are my employee. You work for me.

Your continued employment is only by favor of your employer and your performance is - wanting.

You work for me. You work for we the people. Perhaps this is something you have forgotten, or maybe it's something you never understood. We are one nation under God; of the people, by the people, for the people. Those who choose public service and those we elect to governmental positions are Servants of The People. You work for me. You work for we the people.

As your employer, your job performance must improve markedly and must improve immediately.

We all know the areas in which you are failing: the war in Iraq, Abu Ghraib, Guantanamo Bay, illegal wiretaps and liberty at home, Katrina, the environment, gas prices.

I have listened to your reasoning and considered your conclusions. Essentially, it is all immaterial; you work for me!

If we were to look at this nation as a corporation, we can see that what you say and what you do are dichotomous. You are creating dissension within the ranks of the "work force" setting one group against another. You are spending money with no appreciable gain for the corporation (country) except - possibly - to line your own pockets and those of your friends.

You are tapping our phone calls, reading our email and even reviewing the books we check out at the library supposedly to watch for some bogeyman terrorist but I suspect it's all just to keep tabs on those who disagree with you and when the time is right to even the score against them.

As Chairman of the Board of We the People, I observe that these actions are having negative effects on the organization, on our money and on our morale. You have scared us in order to wring concessions from us most likely to accrue more wealth and power for yourself and friends.

You are draining the company (country) of its ability to function effectively. I cannot allow this to continue.

As your boss, you must do as I request. You must either move or be removed.

If you move, there are only 2 ways you can move. 1. You can move to do as I ask, or 2. You can move yourself out of office. If you do neither, then you leave me, as your employer, no other choice, you shall be removed. And you will need to find yourself another job. Either get going or get out.

Mr. Cheney, your performance is below par. And has been all along. As the chief trumpet for this Administration I hold you chiefly responsible for all that has gone wrong. Your actions have been despicable. Your pockets and Halliburton and those of your friends are lined with my money. Mr. Cheney, if it were up to me, your time has come, You're fired!

Mr. Rumsfeld. You've presided over a war in which our sons and daughters, our husbands and wives, our brothers and sisters, cousins, aunts, uncles, friends and neighbors are dead and dying - day by day.

There were no weapons of mass destruction, there was no link to terrorism. You planned a war which may not be won, with too few troops to win it. The strategy and tactics you required to be followed only strengthened our enemies while weakening our military.

You said mistakes have been made, you're right, you made them.

Mr. Rumsfeld, I am your boss. You work for me. Your opinions make no difference to me. Either do as I ask or move on down the road.

The time has come when we must stand up for what is right and we must speak out for what is wrong. We know what is wrong. We know who is doing it.

Mr. President, Vice President Cheney, Secretary Rumsfeld. You work for me. I am your boss. You are my employee. The time has come to do what I ask and get going, or get gone.

Mr. President, if we should have this conversation again, I won't be saying "You work for me!", I'll say, "Mr. President, you're fired!"
