THANK YOU MR PRESIDENT, YOUR HELP IS SO APPRECIATED!
I know I “sledge” (Aussie for slag) President Obama maybe a little too often especially when I readily concede I am on his side. But it is more about the disappointment of how slow issues of vital importance are being processed by his administration. I never thought the healthcare bill would end up so drawn out. He was too soft on his generals. The product that keeps terrorism funded is now being sold at fire sale prices there is so much supply. The poppy fields are the reason Afghanistan is so “popular” and ever since America’s presence there heroin has become cheaper than crack! If we have such a smart air force with the fanciest/smanchiest armaments I would think in a heartbeat we could fireball/kill off every poppy plant in Afghanistan before it blossomed. When I think of the misery drugs have created for America, we are running around trying to find a few towel head zealots while opium poppies bloom!
Obama and all those around him are “Jonesers” and they think it is their duty to tackle everything differently from the baby boomer generation. In international diplomacy they give dialogue a completely new meaning. They have worked hard at making groveling very fashionable. The world now thinks America has reduced itself to an apologetic nation mired in internal turmoil and they can’t stop laughing at us. I hated most things about the Bush/Cheney era but why did we have to make such a U turn?
Now that is off my chest, President Obama on the other hand is quietly doing great things. One of those great things is his stimulus plan and I can vouch how much this will positively impact upon CII. Maybe, I should stop worrying about the woes of the world and do what most of the young now do; “It is all about me!” Thanks to President Obama, CII now employs seven smart, bright young Americans paid for by his stimulus plan. These seven people in less than one month have become productive and valued colleagues. They are being trained up in every facet of freight forwarding and having them on board now, by the time our exports start to boom, we have a huge head start to take advantage of the commercial opportunities better times will present for us.
These seven new members of CII were victims of the recession. Our company, like every other in America is right now fighting for its life. We could never afford to expand in these rough times, but President Obama has created an absolutely positive environment for us, but moreover jobs for good citizens who deserve hope and a little help so they too can attain the American dream. Financially, the downside for us actively participating in his plan is infinitesimal if it “was all about us”, but Pete and I look at the situation very differently. President Obama may be helping us for one year, but when the “magnificent seven” are placed onto our payroll, our business will already be on a roll and reaching new heights. In other words the upside for us is mind boggling.
President Obama, I can state that because of you, CII will be a far stronger company, but moreover we will not let you down. These seven new team members are already huge assets to our company and they will truly benefit in the future success of the company. All thanks should go to you and the incredible team of people at local level, led by Fetu-Au Alailima who have handed seven of the finest of young Americans over to our care. You have turned hope for us all here into reality.
