Dear President Obama:

How's the new job? Keeping busy? Financial security? I'll bet. Are the American people keeping the mortgage on the White House up to date? Great. Kids have everything they need? Wonderful. The American dream.

Me? I lost another job to offshoring - AGAIN! It's funny, I can't seem to find any concrete figures on just how many U.S. jobs are offshored. There are only estimations by different agencies and economists. The Population Reference Bureau stated in October 2008 that it was nearly impossible to get an accurate scale and scope on this, but they estimated about 30 million U.S. jobs are offshored and increasing as I write this. Nothing about the tax implications. Does the government know? See what you can find out. I imagine definite figures are a difficult task since the companies do not seem to want to fess up about just what percentage they are offshoring. You stated you were going to eliminate big tax cuts on these companies doing the offshoring. When did you say that was going to happen? Mr. President, I don't think they care. Just this last quarter they have increased the offshoring significantly due to that very fact. Is there a Plan B, because jobs are leaving the U.S. faster than you can create them. Did you take that into account in your stimulus package?

Now about we the people and that stimulus package. I read that these big banks who received stimulus payments of about $150 million actually requested 20,000 new visas for foreign workers (up one-third). That is not going to happen, is it? With our own money? See what you can find out. We the people have always stimulated the economy, worked hard, and paid taxes. You know, the American dream. Now our jobs are being given to foreign workers who do none of those things. What gives? What impact does the loss of tax dollars and funding toward social security have on this country? No one seems to know. See what you can find out about that too. These figures must be astonishing. If that is not a drain on the system, then the people in line for unemployment income certainly is. The stimulus money is not going to trickle down to us. You see what they are doing with it. The best stimulus package you could give we the people is to save our jobs NOW so we can return to stimulating the economy. We can not spend what we do not have, right? Wouldn't this go a long way toward economic recovery? See what you can find out.

While you are checking on these astonishing figures, let me give you mine. The pretty simple fact is that my unemployment income is only going to be 50% of what I was making and only for a period of about 6 months. Now you know companies are not hiring, right? That would mean that in approximately 3 months something in my budget is going to have to be cut; food, health insurance, heat, the mortgage. Which would you choose?

We the people look forward to hearing from you on how we can just simply get back to work. No bonuses thank you, just our jobs. You know, the American dream.

Jobless in the USA

P.S. Mr. President, I know this was way before your time but no one told me. Did bin Laden win back in 2001? See what you kind find out about that too.

BO's "stimulus" (StealFromUs is more like it!) will disseminate tons of taxpayer dollars so that doctors will go completely electronic in their recordkeeping (including transcription, not just billing), and the company of George Bush's first cousin, Jonathan Bush (CEO of Athenahealth), is cashing in. Of course, Bush is ecstatic about what Obama is doing (both parties answer to the same puppetmasters, after all, so at the end of the day Bush and Obama aren't too far apart when it comes to the big picture anyway).

So some of you who are so mesmerized with BO, please explain how gutting our profession will "create jobs."

This simultaneously destroys our livelihood while ensuring another transfer of wealth from the taxpayers to the elites/their cronies. So what else is new?!

Don't forget that Obama is Cheney's cousin, so they are all more "connected" than you think.

Anudder MT, Obama's plan will cost 1 trillion dollars and will only give health care to 16 million people out of the 46 million he keeps talking about. Out of that 46 million, about 15 million aren't even Americans - they're here illegally - and I don't know about you, but I don't want to pay for their healthcare in addition to my own. YOU may be rich, but I'm not, and if that makes me selfish, so be it.

And FYI, in Massachusetts, their mandatory single payer plan was supposed to cost 125 million but 3 years after implementing it, the cost has risen to 800 million. How do you know when a politician is lying? His lips are moving. And I hate to break it to all the Obama fans, but he lied when he said he wanted to rise above politics as usual. He's a Chicago politician, the worst thug of all.

It is just a small town paper, asking some general questions about outsourcing/offshoring, pay, types of businesses, etc. I told him I could not tell him what I actually do for a living or name my company. Can he find that out?

I also sent the letter to the Washington Post, Fox News, NY Times, Associates Press, 60 Minutes, and USA Today. I inserted in the letter about uncertain figures that by my calculation, the number of jobs offshored would be more or less the equivalent to the total population in 3 states in the U.S.

Don't you get it and even if they did they wouldn't know what they are reading anyway. Furthermore, there is something called minimize!!! It's on your screen, check it out some time, it actually minimizes the screen so no one can read your important secret information.

It amazes me how people can jump on here and just judge away and sit back and think they are just so above everyone else. No one cares, get it?

I'm not an idiot. I work for the paycheck and I know the MTSO's are in it for the money. Yes, business is business, but let me tell you, I've had a boss like you, Minnie. A boss that could care less about her employees personal situation or how it affects their job. She didn't want to know anything about her employees except that they can do the job. She wanted us to punch the timeclock and type 8 hours at full speed and to heck with everything else. So what if one of us was a single mom trying to make ends meet. So what if someone had a death in the family and was distracted. So what if another had just gone through a divorce and was having a little trouble feeling motivated. Who cares? She didn't.

That boss who didn't care about me, got the bare minimum out of me. When work was out of TAT and she wanted people to volunteer for OT, do you think I volunteered? When someone called in sick and she needed someone to cover the weekend, do you think I volunteered?

Now I have a boss who truly cares about me and all her employees at the hospital I currently work for. We love her and she loves us. She wants to know why we're having a bad day. She sends us cards to make us feel better. And when our production falls off, she is always understanding. That does mean she is a push over. She knows when someone is taking advantage and she is fully prepared to discipline if the occasion calls for it, but she knows who doesn't take advantage and is willing to give and to those of us she trusts, she extends to us her kindness, compassion, and understanding.

And do you know what? All of us would do anything for her because she would do the same for us. I work OT whenever she needs it. I have changed my shift to working until midnight because she asked me to and needed the coverage while someone was off getting surgery. In turn, when my step-nephew was killed in a car accident, even though he wasn't a blood relative and didn't technically qualify for me to take bereavement leave, she let me take it anyway because I needed to help my sister and brother-in-law (it was his son). And when my daughter has a field trip, she lets me flex my hours so I can go. And when it was basketball season with my son, again I was able to flex my hours so I could make all of his games.

People should care about other people. We should care that someone is a single mom and is struggling and we should offer our support and help if we can. And the MTSO's should care about their people. Happy people work harder. If you show your people you care about them, they will work harder for you because they want to and they appreciate you.

Minnie, if I worked with you or for you... well I wouldn't work for you long, let's just say that.
