Aquino cites that his administration wasn't ready because it is only 55 days into office. Also GMA's had 9 years...so my proposal is this:
- If you're not ready for office, pls step down. For now, we'll just call you P-E-Noy....President Elect NOY. When you're ready, call us. Then we'll inaugurate you then.
At no point in history, has a benchmark been drawn so low for a Leader of a Democratic country. To admit that one's self, and one's administration is not ready to take office...after taking office for 55 days, we'll that's just stupid. What happened to starting when you know you won??? Actually...if you're not ready, why did we vote in...in the first place? This is just irresponsible to the People of the Philippines. Aquino has just taken us down a couple of notches in this planet's food chain.
- Translated: 'Thanks for the vote! But I ain't ready to be responsible for anything! In anycase, someone will pay, for this...I don't know who yet. I just know it won't be myself.'
Aquino really thinks we are stupid - and we should NOT be ok with that.
Nueva Vizcaya Rep. Carlos Padilla articulated this well: (and I'm no GMA proponent)
Crisis of leadership
Nueva Vizcaya Rep. Carlos Padilla, however, warned that the hostage-taking incident could be the start of a “crisis of political leadership” in the Aquino administration.
Speaking at the same forum, Padilla pointed out that the heart of the issue was whether standard operating procedures were followed during the hostage crisis.
“It’s not a question of whether it’s 55 days or GMA (Ms Arroyo) was there for nine years,” he said. “Was there an SOP? Were there rules of engagement? Were they followed?”
Aquino, back in school.
