Deliverable 2: Public Safety. Under your management, violent crime is up 18 percent — the first such increase in 20 years. Your “Fast and Furious” project has caused serious damage to the balance sheet: one dead federal officer, more than a hundred dead civilians, a seriously cheesed-off next-door business partner, and zero cartel convictions — the lattermost being, if I understand your business strategy, the whole point of this mess. Your performance reports here have been remarkably obstructive, which is why you should have on our advice terminated Eric Holder.
Deliverable 3: Energy. When interviewing for this position, you said, and I quote, “We could have headed off $4-a-gallon gas.” We’ve seen gas prices above or near $4 for most of your term, and above $5 in some parts of the country under the management of your associates. Energy production on the firm’s lands is down substantially year-over-year.
Deliverable 4: Balance Sheet. During your interview, you proposed cutting the firm’s current operating deficit in half. In fact, the firm has acquired trillions of dollars of new debt under your management, along with new unfunded liabilities that our accountants are still trying to work out. When you were presented recommendations from a committee named by you and your management team, you refused even to consider implementing them. You are on track to add another $1 trillion in debt this year.
…On a personal note, I’d like to say that the first time I ever had to fire anybody, I felt really bad about it. She was a nice young woman in her first real job, courteous, well-liked, always on time, and eager to do a good job. She had, unfortunately, been hired for a position that required more than her talents and experience enabled her to deliver. This is also true of you, with the exception of being courteous, likable, and punctual. If I could, I would fire you twice.
Well, it was a foolish hire.

Is there, perchance, a web page somewhere we could click to, that we might, as it were, read the whole thing?
Whine, whine, whine.
Deliverable 9: “Green” shit. Under your management, we’ve given billions of dollars to so-called green companies like Solyndra. You’ve characterized these grants and loan guarantees as “investments”, but when the companies fail within a year of the grant, with no re-payment, one is left with the conclusion that you have a very peculiar understanding of what the word “investment” means. In hindsight, we are probably somewhat culpable since we have accepted your statements that your college transcripts would not have provided us any meaningful information at the time we hired you. But that does not change the fact that at this time it is in our best interest to terminate our relationship.
