Two hypothetical conversations | Tăriceanu vs. Băsescu

Taguri: , , ,

Conversation 1

“Mr. State Secretary, please take all the necessary measures so as to solve the trash problem in Popeşti-Leordeni.”
“I understand, Mr. Prime-Minister.”

The State Secretary hangs up the phone and starts on the long bureaucratic trail of awarding the money legally, organizing a tender, etc. Other state institutions intervene and it all becomes a 30 day return time correspondence between institutions.

Conversation 2

“Hey. How’s it hanging?”
“Hello, Mr. President.”
“Hey, remember those contracts back when I was Mayor?”
“How could I forget them? That’s when my company developed in a year as much as others do in ten.”
“Hey… do me a favor and clean up that Popeşti-Leordeni location for me; I want to get on TV some more.”
“Consider it done, Mr. President.”
“Thanks. Hey, maybe we can get together for some whiskey in a few days.”
“Yes, Sir!”

The only difference is that the guy in the second conversation had already done his tenders a few years ago… profit had been made by the company… and business men always know how to repay their “moral” obligations. If the Prime-Minister would have done the same, the Cotroceni propaganda team would have virulently attacked such an avoidance of direct state involvement.

Unfortunately, no matter how much Tăriceanu and his team have grown in the polls during the last few months… NONE OF THEM HAVE GOTTEN BALLS DURING THIS TIME PERIOD AND THEY STILL DON’T SCREAM OUT PRESS RELEASES “IN THEIR OWN NAME, AS PRIVATE CITIZENS”" which they could use in lieu of an unfriendly knuckle on that bald presidential head.
