Of all the things that you could be saddened by, this is the least important of the whole lot. There are just so many important issues that you have failed to address and continue to fail to address. You are, after all, the President. You do actually have some powers that you can call on to get things done. And, even if you and your advisers question your authority to act, then please do not forget that you were in fact elected with a considerably large political and democratic mandate by the people, to act!
Mr. President, as a simple request, can you be saddened by the plights of poor Indonesia families struggling to make ends meet on a daily basis who are forced to convert from kerosene to 3kg gas cylinders for those gas cylinders to blow up in their faces and scar them for life?
Mr. President, can you be saddened by the rampant, systematic, and endemic corruption that plagues the nation making the lives of all Indonesians much more difficult than they ever need to be? While you are on this corruption thing, can you be saddened about the continual harassing of the KPK? After all, they are only doing the work that you claim is so important and such an integral part of the legacy you want to leave as a corruption fighter.
Mr. President, can you be saddened by the fact that after all this time the good people of Sidoarjo and the surrounding villages have not been properly compensated for the human errors of the Bakrie families exploration companies? Can you be saddened by the fact that despite being ordered to pay compensation these companies are still dragging their feet and taking every possible measure to delay and avoid making restitution?
Mr. President, the list goes on, but I think you get the point, right? You do get the point, don't you Mr. President?
Mr. President, I find it hard to reconcile the idea that a man of your stature and belief is content to let his legacy be the laughing stock of his predecessors and all subsequent successors. Is that what you want?
Actions speak so much louder than words, and inaction speaks volumes.
The future is now Mr. President!

I hate the day when I continuously worried if (God forbid!!) the gas tube at home will explode.
I hate the day when there is no single day without any news on casualties of the explosion.
I hate the day when the government fails to guarantee that everything is and will be alright.
I hate the day when sex seems to gain more interest to the President than corruption, terrorism, poverty, skyrocketing education cost, in-affordable health service, rotten transportation system.
I loathe my President. I didn't vote him to be such a whiner on sex!!!
Oh dear. This sort of anger will usually lead to some hard nasty sex. So help me God.
Hi Rob,
While SBY is sad with the sex video, his people are suffering because of his inability to address matters which are far more important: daily LPG tube explosions; rising prices of daily commodities, incredible electricity hike for industries, the govt said 10 to 18% but the actual can be as high as 50%; rising unemployment rate; poverty etc.
@ Silverlines...
Here's hoping things work out with your gas cylinder.
on the hard, nasty sex, I guess I will have to take your word for it. I am guessing that hard and nasty is not necessarily all bad, and that your significant other will be pleased though, won't they!
@ Harry...
And that, Harry, was the point of my post. There are just so many more important and pressing issues that the government and the president need to address and deal with.
Ho hum...
Oh not bad at all. It never is bad, in fact .. :D
@ Silverlines...
So, back to the tape shall we?
