Thoughts on the 44th

I was reading a paper article today about Barack Obama and his working style in the office. Apparently, he wears sweater and a bit less formal than his predecessor George bush...he also finds it better to walk to his aides office rather than call them over as well. A particular incident is when a particular high post guy puts his feet on his table then the president just walk in and he saw the comical image. He jokingly said' Wow. First day in office and your feet is already on the table'...lol

This definitely shows us a lot gd qualities of the 44th president...one he is trying to relive the tension of working in the white house so that(hopefully) everyone can work to their best of their abilities. Two he walks around the white house, it shows that he wants to know the situation around the white house as well as providing the personal touch that the boss is around. As well as check up on his subourdinates =P....Three apparently he always start meetings on time and ends way past the timing...which under the bush adminstration this is unheard of. Again it shows that the president is truly concerned about his work and is not afraid of extending hours of work.

Of course, this might just be another media propanganda lor....but hey I still remember that when bush took over, there aint much news about his working style...this president is almost like a celebrity sia...anw noticed that he is the 44th?? 4+4 =8...and he is a cow...so this year may see the more of him and as well as having 8 in this period of 8 , it may turn out to be a long term presidency we are looking at here....bt like in my previous entry, one thing I dont like is that he is kinda protectionist by nature...and slowly the US is turning that way...yes its gd for them now...but it sucks for the rest of the world....anw we all know that protectionist isnt really good for the long term and all....wonder this will mean a shoft of economic power over to the China market who though predominately is 'protectionist' by nature but is slowly opening up to the world....and recently its crowned the 3rd biggest economy in the world.

hmm....if US is really going protectionist...hmm it means that US firms will be recovering in the future??as it confirm that there will be demand for them mah with US ppl using their products...and if like that it means that china will be growing even faster?? as MNCs are shifting operations to the east...interesting man....
