disappointed<\/a> that mister Bush didn\u2019t call me last week to say goodbye. When I visited him in 2003 (with my dear friend Jaap The Hoop Scheffer) he told me we were friends. So why didn\u2019t he call me?<\/p>\nMister Obama, this is not how we go om with each other. I hope you agree and invite me to the White House as soon as possible. Then I can tell you about our VOC-mentality (a sort of \u2018yes we can!\u2019). Did you know that the VOC transported your voorouders to America? So you could say that thanks to Holland, the United States now have a black president!! Toch?<\/p>\n
I also heard you are a very good basketballer. But please do not challenge me in front of the press to play basketball. I have a better voorstel instead. You know sjoelen? It is a Dutch sport and when I visite the White House I will bring my sjoelbak with me. How about that? When we are playing sjoel, we can talk about the Dutch soldiers in Afghanistan. I promised the Dutch parlement that we will leave Uruzgan in 2010. But I didn\u2019t say we would leave Afghanistan!! So we can stay longer in every region in Afghanistan, except Uruzgan dus.<\/p>\n
Hope to hear from you soon, so I can tell the Dutch press you called me. Greetings to your lovely wife, also from Bianca.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
