I have read this article last week, and I have been holding myself back from reacting to its contents. My thoughts? Isn't it kinda ironic that the President, who I believe, was elected by media sensationalism, is now calling out to our people to "make the right decisions" and to "look into the truth and not be blinded by such media sensationalism, nor emotions triggered by such."
A quick review; election 2010, let's look into the facts, the truth; if we have made the right decisions, there were candidates that were far, and I mean way better, more competent to handle the highest post in the land. That was in-your face truth, but what happened to that? Media sensationalism, and the result, we have what we have right now. However, we should also acknowledge that is was a clean, fair elections.
No. 2, what are the things that had happened, and how did he respond to such events? Not to mention, how did the people he appointed responded as well. To the many issues, controversies, incidents, how did he and his men fair? Frankly, it sucks, but again, what did some of us say, "let us give him a chance to prove himself". Pardon my French but, what the eff, he had the guts to ran for this position, and despite his incompetencies that I hope he is aware of, he should or his so-called advisers should have at least know what they are going in to. Question is, will his early years be a training ground for him and for the some people he entrusted key government positions? You only got 6 years, and I do hope it will not be extended. We wish they could make the most of the remaining term.
No. 3, blaming the state of the nation from the past regime. Sure, the country had a hell of a ride from the previous regime, but my point is that he should not dwell to that fact and make himself look like a clean slate. Media sensationalism made him, frankly look like the new hope. To further stress my premise, let's just say it was because of the previous regime that we are in these state now, what about the regime prior to that, and another regime back and further back, it would be the same lame excuse. And he should take note that his mother was a part of the previous regimes. Simply put, were there significant improvements made in our country? Was it (the administration) better than her predecessor? Fact of the matter is, instead of pointing fingers, he should start doing what he is supposed to do.
No. 4. And this is quite sad, and embarassing, that despite the issues and problems, is it really of national interest that we are into and take fancy his personal life. True, you got a nice prosche, but man, you should be the epitome of a government leader who lives a simple life. The sad part? Again some of us whould justify his act, we hear, "he's a bachelor, it's his own money." Even if it was bought from out of his personal finances, it is still inappropriate.
Another thing, how come the public takes interest on his love-life? The sad part, again, is that the people take "much" interest of it, sidelining incompetencies and some issues in his reign, over his sightings at a various places, and everyone is much interested as to who is he with. Kris is Kris, that should be enough, if only we could rid of her but him, man, you're the President. I respect that you're a bachelor and that you have all the right and privilege to do that, but my point is please, you're no Kris that every step or every word or even every thing she thinks of, she makes a fuss about it. There are some celebrities who had hid their private lives from the privy eyes of the public, and my respect goes to them. It is such a lame excuse that if you are a celebrity or a public figure, your life is an open book. It is still your choice. As for this part, please, one Kris is enough.
There a lot of things still that are in my mind, but as now, I'm gonna hold them back. Again this is not a hate write-up, this is me thinking a loud. This is me wishing for something better.
