Wow - what a situation. My first thought was - Do I give the presentation, or do I loose my job? With the economy the way it is right now, I diffently don't want to loose my job. But do I really want to sacrifice my ethical standards. I would probably give the presentation, the best I could, but I would be sure to ackonwledge my source regarding the data. I would be ever so greatly towards my boss for helping me out by provinding me with the charts and graphs. This way, I (hopefully) wouldn't be the only one held responsibile for anything comming back to haunt us.
