Text your say: US eyes Ical, Hatta, Sri Mulyani

Your comments on documents published by WikiLeaks that, among other issues, touch upon US preferences for Indonesian presidential candidates, including Aburizal Bakrie, Hatta Rajasa and Sri Mulyani Indrawati:

Wiki Leaks has released US State Department documents that touch upon US preferences for Indonesian presidential candidates.

So what?

None of the candidates mentioned for Indonesian presidential candidates can overcome the problems the country is facing now and beyond.

After all, it’s only leaks by WikiLeaks.

I agree with Sri Mulyani Indrawati as the US preference for an Indonesian presidential candidate in 2014.

I will consider Sri and Hatta. Sri is the best and most credible woman in the financial system.

The world recognizes how smart she is and how important she is for Indonesia – including the World Bank, which is why they recruited her.

I would agree if Sri decided to come back as finance minister again.

Hatta seems good in any cabinet position.

Whoever will become president, he or she must have a mindset prepared to truly act as a servant of the nation.

I think it would be good if every leader in this country could learn from the leadership of the mayor of Solo, Joko Widodo.

It is surprising to see that these people can be the same.
