Memo to the President: Don't pardon these crooks

Congress has found a new word Mr president, it is accountability, please do not poardon these people.

Many suffered because of them, it is not right for them to have thier slate wiped clean.

Accountability, accountability.

A MODERN PARABLE . .
A Japanese company ( Toyota ) and an American company (Ford) decided to have a canoe race on the Missouri River . Both teams practiced long and hard to reach their peak performance before the race.


On the big day, the Japanese won by a mile.


The Americans, very discouraged and depressed, decided to investigate the reason for the crushing defeat. A management team made up of senior management was formed to investigate and recommend appropriate action.


Their conclusion was the Japanese had 8 people rowing and 1 person steering, while the American team had 8 people steering and 1 person rowing.


Feeling a deeper study was in order, American management hired a consulting company and paid them a large amount of money for a second opinion.


They advised, of course, that too many people were steering the boat, while not enough people were rowing.


Not sure of how to utilize that information, but wanting to prevent another loss to the Japanese, the rowing team's management structure was totally reorganized to 4 steering supervisors, 3 area steering superintendents, and 1 assistant superintendent steering manager.


They also implemented a new performance system that would give the 1 person rowing the boat greater incentive to work harder. It was called the 'Rowing Team Quality First Program,' with meetings, dinners, and free pens for the rower . There was discussion of getting new paddles, canoes, and other equipment, extra vacation days for practices and bonuses.


The next year the Japanese won by two miles.


Humiliated, the American management laid off the rower for poor performance, halted development of a new canoe, sold the paddles, and canceled all capital investments for new equipment. The money saved was distributed to the Senior Executives as bonuses and the next year's racing team was out-sourced to India .


Sadly, The End.


Here's something else to think about:
Ford has spent the last thirty years moving all its factories out of the US , claiming they can't make money paying American wages.


TOYOTA has spent the last thirty years building more than a dozen plants inside the US . The last quarter's results:


TOYOTA makes 4 billion in profits while Ford racked up 9 billion in losses.


Ford folks are still scratching their heads.


IF THIS WEREN'T TRUE, IT MIGHT BE FUNNY.

bail out big 3 let the theives rot in jail

The only way I'd ever grant him a pardon is if he has a medical condition that is going to cost us taxpayers a load of money. Then I'd let him free and leave it up to his family to pay the medical bills.

I say let Bernie out. 11-Billion is nothing compared to what we are paying now. If the government was this generous in 2000, MCI would have just asked for the money and no one would have blinked an eye. Atleast Bernie has served some time, these crooks are getting away with a lot more than 11-billion.
