NOT the Patriots phrase (none / 1)

However it's meant, people will interpret it as another awkward sports cliche and in every state but one, the Pats are not beloved.
For the same reason, no teh coach one either.
Not a catchphrase, but - "This President likes to think of himself as America's CEO, but he forgets that he is an employee of the American people. As his employer, when an employee lies to you repeatedly, gives sweetheart deals to his friends, and misspends your money, then complains about all his "hard work" he had to do to deceive you, what do you do? You fire him! And that's what we're going to do on election day."

- How's this version? (none / 0)
  
  The President would like to think of himself as our CEO. In reality, he is our employee. And he's an employee who's consistently failed at his job for the past four years.
  I intend to terminate George W. Bush's employment, effective November 2nd.

    Your version is more concise but not as Kerry-esque.
    Not that I'm bitter it was so easy to edit my version down to something pithier...
