An Open Letter to President Obama




Dear President Obama,
As you begin your first term in office, you are going to be faced with many obstacles that will test your skills and leadership capability. You will be expected to repair our damaged economy, bring peace to the Middle East and stop the thousands of terrorists out there who wish to destroy America and all it stands for.

But please, if you only do one thing during your presidency, do this single action for me....




Sport a Dr. Huxtable sweater at least one time during your term and make all of my Cosby dreams come true.

You Expect Us To Fly Commercial?


As millions of Americans lose their jobs each month, businesses struggle to keep their doors open and schlubs like us stretch each dollar to its complete capacity, it is good to know that folks over at Citi Group will rest easy while traveling on their brand spanking new jet... paid for of course by you and I.

Oh yes, Citi Group, which received 45 billion dollars from one of the bailout packages, is shelling out $50,000,000 to purchase a twelve-seat corporate jet.

It is intensely satisfying to know that while all of us down here on Earth are clipping coupons and trying to carefully dissect each meager paycheck, the executives from Citi Group will be flying high, miles above, in complete and utter comfort, courtesy of us.

Don't let the Hudson River hit you on the went up, boys.
