Promises Made, Promise Kept

Promises Made, Promises Kept

The View from the Middle

One of my old bosses at P&G, Tom Muccio, had a great adage that he frequently shared with us, especially when we were forecasting our sales.  He used to say, “The promise is the easy part.”  For those who shipped their quota’s he created an award called the “Promises Made, Promises Kept” award. 

Back before the election, there were many celebrities who promised to leave the country if Donald Trump won.  I want to take this opportunity to remind them of their promise and ask them to make good on it.  Promises made, promises kept, right?  You can help me by passing on this list to everyone you know so that we can remind the entire country of their promises.

Miley Cyrus – Maybe she can twerk in Canada with Justin Bieber.

Samuel Jackson – What’s in YOUR wallet?  Hopefully a passport.

Cher – Wants to move to Jupiter.  Not far enough for me.

Barbara Streisand – Has been promising to move since 1992.  Come on!  Need                  directions or something?

Amy Schumer – Wants to move to Mexico or Spain.  Well, Adios.

Whoopi Goldberg – Check out “The View” from France with its 75% tax rate.

George Lopez – I heard Mexico is looking for American actors.

Ruth Bader Ginsburg – She didn’t like the Constitution anyway.  Does New Zealand even have one?

Ali Wentworth and George Stephanopoulos – Maybe ABC could get some unbiased news reporting.

Al Sharpton – Pay your taxes first, and can you take your daughter with you?

What absolutely amazes me is the arrogance of these people.  Do they really think that the country would crumble if they leave?  Do they really think this threat changed any voter’s mind to vote for Hillary?  They were more likely to have created more Trump voters.

Please take your millions that you made from the freedom provided by this great republic and make good on your promises.  When you realize that the grass isn’t greener on the other side of the world, you can negotiate with Trump on the terms of your return.
