I read that all political parties came in and he talked and they like re-elected him... ;) They love him as Germany has done this time and time again to Greece .. always throwing something totally unacceptable in an agreement at the last minute..My Dad used to say .. "clever beasts they are, don't EVER trust them"! .. Sorry but that was my Dad .. still the smartest man I ever met in my life and the Most absolutely loving one. .;) Then of course my beautiful smart Mom..;) !!!! GOD I was so lucky! .. .. ;) anyway, hope you're having a good sleep! .. ;) oh . .and Germany makes money on this too Mr. Picketey said minimum 3 % ... so they've done o.k. taking out their wrath on Greece over these years, they paid themselves 1st...;) ...tsk.
