Back Breaking Jobs

The jobs of a prime minster or a president is back breaking yet there are people who stake their lives on getting the job. In Malaysia there are two men vying for the job of the next prime minister. Anuar is doing it by dubious means, enticing law makers into his camp. The other person, Razaleigh is trying to make up for his loss in his first bid to unseat Mahathir years ago. Both Anuar and Razaleigh are trying to get even with Mahathir. In other word they practice a politic of revenge. We should not send such people to Putrajaya.

What does one get when one becomes the prime minister? Fame, glory power? To me, these are not worth fighting for. Or is it because of one's conviction and he looks for an opportunity to lead the country to greater height. Agreed. But why are the prime minster's children so rich?. They seem to get all the choicest government contracts

Why did Obama want to be president, knowing fully well that he could live comfortably on his lawyer's income in Chicago without having to go to Washington. Then he would have more time with his family and also more time for basket ball. Looking at the mighty task Obama is facing, I think Mc.Cain is happy that he lost the race. Now he can sleep nights in the evening of his life. I think Obama has a conviction, a mission that he wants to carry through.

So that is what being prime minster or president all about. As for me, we all enjoy betting on our favorite horse every time the race begins
