Srikandi - Presiden
Barack Obama memberi sabar panjang ahli politik pembang-kang Burma, Aung San Suu
Kyi, yang kacau oleh ucapan banyak memuji rakan seni hadiah nobel itu dgn
cium yang besar kepada telinga semasa lawatan singgah di Myanmar.
Obama
tiba di rumah Suu Kyi di Rangoon pd hari Jumaat untuk memberi kerajaan ukuran
dasar awam Myanmar lidah celaan atas layanan mereka terhadap agama minoriti,
dan keputusan baru-baru ini yg akan menghalang 'The Titanium Orchid' bangsa
presiden akan datang.
Suu
Kyi, dibebaskan 4 tahun lalu selepas menghabiskan bahagian yang lebih baik
daripada 2 dekad di bawah tahanan rumah, tidak boleh bertanding utk mendapat
jawatan tertinggi di negara ini kerana klausa perlembagaan, yg melarang
mereka yang mempunyai hubungan yg kuat kepada negara asing utk bertanding
presiden. Anak-anaknya adalah warganegara British, seperti suaminya. Obama
melem-parkan sokongan di belakang tawaran Suu Kyi untuk mengubah perlembagaan.
PLAY
it by Ear: OBAMA Stuns Aung San Suu Kyi with KISS . . .
President
Barack Obama gave long-suffering Burmese opposition politician, Aung San Suu
Kyi, a stir by greeting his much lauded Nobel Prize winning counterpart with a
big kiss on the ear during a stopover visit in Myanmar.
Obama
arrived at Suu Kyi’s home in Rangoon on Friday to give Myanmar’s nominally
civilian government a tongue lashing over its treatment of religious
minorities, and a recent ruling that will keep ‘The Titanium Orchid’ out of the
next presidential race.
Suu
Kyi, released four years ago after spending the better part of two decades
under house arrest, cannot run for the country’s highest office due to a
constitutional clause, which prohibits those with strong ties to a foreign
national from running for president. Her sons are British citizens, as was her
late husband. Obama threw his support behind Suu Kyi’s bid to change the
constitution.

"Saya
tidak faham peruntukan yang pasti menghalang seseorang daripada ber-tanding untuk
presiden kerana siapa anak2 mereka," AP memetik Obama sebagai berkata
di tepi tasik rumah Suu Kyi.
"Itu
tidak memberi pengertian yang mendalam kepada saya" katanya lagi.
Tetapi
ia adalah apa yang Obama lakukan daripada jarak pendengaran mikrofon yang
benar-benar meninggalkan kesan di lama icon pro-demokrasi Myanmar.
Berikutan
komen bersama oleh Panglima Besar dan ahli parlimen yang memikat, Obama memberi
Suu Kyi satu pelukan sampingan janggal sebelum menanam satu basah yang besar
tepat di telinganya.
Suu
Kyi, seorang janda lebih 15 tahun, mengambil isyarat dengan rahmat yang baik.
“I
don’t understand a provision that would bar somebody from running for president
because of who their children are,” AP cites Obama as saying at Suu Kyi’s
lakeside home.
“That
doesn’t make much sense to me” he continued.
But it
was what Obama did out of earshot of the microphone that really left an
impression on Myanmar’s longstanding pro-democracy icon.
Following
joint comments by the Commander in Chief and the alluring lawmaker, Obama gave
Suu Kyi an awkward side hug before planting a big wet one right on her ear.
Suu
Kyi, a widow of over 15 years, took the gesture with good grace.

Perkara
yang sama tidak boleh dikatakan untuk isteri Barack itu, Michelle, yang sebelum
ini mendapat kesal dengan lelaki itu kerana agak terlalu akrab dengan pemimpin-pemimpin
wanita DUNIA .
Semasa
upacara untuk Nelson Mandela di Johannesburg tahun lepas, Michele Obama
kelihatan jelas kecewa kerana Obama bantered dengan Perdana Menteri Denmark
Helle Thorning-Schmidt, pd satu ketika meletakkan tangannya di atas bahunya.
Obama kemudian mengambil mengambil gambar diri sendiri dengan Thorning-Schmidt
dan British PM David Cameron manakala Michele menoleh ke sana.
The
same might not be said for Barack’s wife, Michelle, who has previously gotten
peeved with her man for being a bit too familiar with female world leaders.
During
a memorial service for Nelson Mandela in Johannesburg last year, Michele Obama
looked visibly upset as Obama bantered with Danish Prime Minister Helle
Thorning-Schmidt, at one point putting his hand on her shoulder. Obama later
took a selfie with Thorning-Schmidt and British PM David Cameron while Michele
looked way.

Later
photographs showed that Barack and Michele had switched seats, with the mopey
president’s back inclined slightly to Thorning-Schmidt, while Michele rolled
her eyes.
Of
course, Obama’s not the only world leader to spark controversy with a largely
innocuous gesture, which happened to be photographed from every which way.
Kemudian
gambar-gambar yang menunjukkan Barack dan Michele telah bertukar tempat duduk,
dgn belakang presiden mopey ini condong sedikit kepada Thorning-Schmidt,
manakala Michele bergolek matanya.
Sudah
tentu, Obama bukan pemimpin DUNIA hanya untuk mencetuskan kontroversi dengan
isyarat sebahagian besarnya tidak berbahaya, yang berlaku untuk diambil gambar
dari setiap cara.
TIDAK
Mendapatkan CUKUP: Obama mengambil FOTO
diri sendiri lagi, kini dengan PM MALAYSIA
. . .

terkini presiden melalui Asia - dan tepat pd masanya utk membuat bingung

Can't
get enough: Obama takes Another
selfie, now with Malaysian PM
The
Obama selfie is back, this time re-emerging during the president’s latest swing
through Asia – and just in time to ruffle the feathers of his critics once
again.
Meeting
with Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak on Sunday, the two leaders discussed
numerous issues – including human rights abuses against the government’s
opposition and the stalled Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal – but the news
making immediate waves outside of the country is that Razak convinced Obama to
join him in another selfie.
Both
leaders are smiling in the photo, which Razak posted to Twitter shortly after
it was taken. The photo has already been favorited by more than 14,100 people
and retweeted by nearly 30,000.
