 I said:

 “Stop kissing Joe.  It’s not going to work this time.  We all know about the one time when the lonely princess royal kissed her froggie and found herself a charming Prince but this is not a repeat, Joe.

 No amount of kissing is going to turn your toad into a Reagan or a JFK because he simply is not that material.  They were Great Men, Joe, at a time when Great Men needed no kissing.

 What you have is a toad that will remain a toad.  And when the 72 days are up you will find it all over your face, Joe.  Sometimes we get what we deserve.”

 I repeat it here because it is fast becoming embarrassing to all Americans of the 50 States to witness Joe’s lovemaking while the rest of the World grapple with the real issues facing civilization and the threat of terror, and the regular citizen is facing diminishing prospects of financial recovery.

 Joe, have you read what Michael Scherer wrote?  Here is the link:

Sometimes location is everything. Other times, it’s just a convenient place to spend the night. My story is here.

Obama in Dresden: the Non-Controversy Controversy

On both sides of the Atlantic, much has been made of Barack Obama’s decision to spend the night in Dresden

 You must read what other people write, Joe.  Here’s another example:

 You will find a photo in there; the photo and caption title is courtesy of the Fox Nation and yahoo.

 “U.S first lady Michelle Obama and France’s First Lady Carla Bruni-Sarkozy attend a ceremony to mark the 65th anniversary of the D-Day landings in Normandy at Colleville-sur-Mer cemetery, June 6, 2009.”

 Since then a comment by someone called rmrd has made it necessary for me to update the Post for publication in:

 You are a gifted writer, Joe, and you have a way with words so I won’t tell you what ole Grandma said happens if you keep on kissing a frog.  Take care!
