Lee Myung Bak Out!
Jun 12th, 2008 by ~Mers
The US is no stranger to protests, but Lee Myung Bak hasn’t been president for more than a year and … yeesh.
The country’s entire cabinet offered to resign as a way to help Mr. Lee find a way out of the crisis. It was unclear if he would accept the resignations. “South Koreans had a lot of doubt when they elected Lee, but they hoped he would save the economy,” said Choi Jin, director of the Institute of Presidential Leadership. “But this doubt deepened when Lee failed to demonstrate any immediate improvement of the economy. The beef debacle was the trigger to explode the undercurrent of doubt.”
Many Koreans need to get over their elitist mentality, start opening their minds, and begin to understand whats going on around them. Many of them expect immediate results in terms of lifestyles and education. When they feel that they’re not getting that, they turn on the administration or the teachers.
