Presidential office budget

Presidential office budget

President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono said he was "surprised" to
read in the media that his government had formally proposed to
the legislature a sharp increase in the 2006 budget of his
office.

This news would have been funny had it not been so depressing.
At the risk of being contrite, maybe we can learn from this quote
from the good book (I Corinthians 14:8): "For if the trumpet
gives an uncertain sound, who shall prepare himself for the
battle?"

In other words, if leaders cannot, or will not lead, they will
run out of followers very soon.
