What we can learn from Obama

The US maybe committing hundreds of billions to save their economy. Obama claimed that this is an unprecedented situation and not doing out anything is even more disastrous. Yet people are skeptical of his proposal would jumpstart the economy. You can't satisfy everyone. Anyway, that is not what I want to highlight. What I am impressed about Obama is his transparency when he launched his mega rescue package. Check out http://www.recovery.gov/ where he not only detailed the total amount that he is going to spend but also a Gantt chart with milestone. If you click on Obama photo, he even tried to justify his mega billions dollars to save the economy by being transparent. He don't want to be a leader to be doling out dollars behind closed door. Isn't that great to have a leader with a vision and believe in transparency compare to our leader who lauched a RM7 billion but I don't even know where did it go? And now they are talking about launching the second stimulus package with even bigger money without mentioning how we the rakyat can trace their action.
