Mr. President,
I seem to be writing you more often than I wrote your predecessor. Believe it or not, that is NOT a good thing.
I know the economy is tough and you don’t want to do anything to make it worse for Americans. But you know what? I can think of one person who needs to discover how hard the economy is: the Head of Your Protocol Office. Fire his dumb butt now and find someone who will give you good counsel and is politically minded.
For the record, American Presidents do not bow to anyone. You can show respect for another country’s leader, but again Americans bow to no foreign power. (And yes you did, regardless of what your Press Secretary says.) But you don’t need to concern yourself about what I think today, but let me suggest you get ready to defend your bow to the Saudi King because you will see it replayed in 2012 in political ads by your re-election foe. Bank on it.
Believe me, touch the Queen (another protocol gaffe) and Americans really don’t care. Genuflect to another head of state and you will be a one term President for sure. Fire your protocol officer – you deserve better.
By the way, I am available for the job. After all, I can’t do worse than the incumbent.
Warmest regards,
Bill
