I for one can hardly wait for you to become a simple citizen again.You can be mad at me and even call me an “asshole”, like you did to that journalist (actually, please do it, but do it in public, so I end up with a few thousand visitors overnight 
), but I want you back with the people. A simple citizen, with a house on Ştefan Mihăileanu street, with corruption case files in the works against you… a sort of slightly funny Adrian Năstase, that is really catchy for that part of the public that loves the circus.
By the way, when I saw that you and Adrian Năstase made it to the second round of the presidential elections… Well, I agreed with you when you said that it’s oh so sad that Romanians have to choose between two ex-Communists.
I found it really difficult deciding which one of you is the lesser evil (if you’d have made it with Vadim in the second round… you would’ve won by a landslide). I decided that Adrian Năstase was the lesser evil. Another 4881519 (four million eight hundred eighty-one thousand, five-hundred and nineteen) people agreed with me. However, more (about 250,000 more) thought differently and that’s how you became president. Congratulations.
Now please, please, come to terms with the fact that there is a reason why people read the job description before signing up for the job. You failed to read the Constitution (in 2004) and you thought that the President of Romania has the same powers as the President of the United States. Unfortunately for you, you were wrong. (Note to other candidates for the Romanian Presidency: Don’t be watching West Wing and believing that the rules that apply in the US also apply in Romania… - they’re different countries).
I think you’re a pretty good organizer and you could do a lot if you had the power to do it, but for the time being all you’re doing is breaking thinks by not playing by the rules. You want to do something from the position of President? Make it so that Romania becomes a presidential republic (and that would be great - that’s my political rectalist, ahem… political analyst opinion) or get a majority in Parliament and become Prime Minister.
But like this?… Please, please, please keep your word. Resign tomorrow (after you’re suspended, of course).
And, by the way, if you run again, I’m not voting for you. Why? Simple enough: because you broke the promise you made while Mayor of Bucharest, when you said you would not run for President and remain Mayor of Bucharest until 2008. Remember? Bravo!
PS: Please bring current Mayor Videanu back on the right path. Ever since we… “gave you a city council” (reference to your campaign for Bucharest Municipality General Council elections) nothing is getting done in Bucharest.
PPS: Wanna be more popular? Cancel those gazillion church visits and do something nice.
