Soekarno, Hatta, And Jokowi, Also Brad Pitt


     The gait of Surakarta mayor Joko Widodo, or who is familiarly called by Jokowi, with the national car called Esemka Rajawali should be appreciated. So far, the idea of ​​national pride or slogan 'I Love Made In Indonesia' is only a lips service. The goods or products which produced by the Indonesian always be devoid from government’s attention, and get a bad sale. These products are slaughtered very cruelty by foreign products. Only a few are able to compete due to hereditary taste, the tobacco and tea. And Jokowi suddenly emerges as a bureaucrat who is supporting the nation's cars so much.

     His support is not without any risk. Although many people praise and follow his steps, from the government, bussinesman, and celebrities, but a lot of people too who oppose the idea of ​​a national car. In this country, most of the conflicts of interest always end with sad endings, or even very sad endings. Many people are already anticipating the Esemka Rajawali case will end tragically. And if that really happens, nothing needs to be sorry for. It also would not need people going to the streets. If they (who have power of decision) think Esemka unworthy to be on the road, then let japanese’s cars or ‘other country far away’s cars that more worthy to pass on the highway that was built by the droplets of sweat and tears of our people.
     After all, the gait of Jokowi is already a success moving that will always be remembered nicely. Now and then. We all know the risks to be faced by the mayor, who former as an entrepreneur. In politics, the people who dare to act would have be victorious or perish. All that we can do, and I always think this is just the act of cowardice, just wish that Jokowi will always be safe.

     See Jokowi’move for the work of the nation, I am always fond of what has also been carried out by the founding fathers of this country, Soekarno and Hatta. They were both the originator of the unity of the archipelago, which consists of thousands of islands. They united these islands without any bloodshed. Please note, without any bloodshed. An enormous achievement of the founders of the country. I am sure they will support any things that made by Indonesian people, from pin to aeroplane, from flip flops to buildings. No exception, the national car called Esemka Rajawali.
     Soekarno was a genius statesman who was able to collect a great moral support with his speech. He was also a strategist who is difficult to find the comparison. Hatta was accomplished politician who is very familiar with economic issues. He knew doing politics in poverty is suicide. And the most important, both of them are humble that skipping their personal interests. After following the history of this country, from the new order until the reform era, the figure of the founding fathers are appearing in Jokowi (NOW). And if there were ten bureaucrats with a strategic position to act as Jokowi, in terms of upholding the common interests than the private’s (or group) ones, the fate of this nation would be better in the future.

     There is also a more popular comparison. Brad Pitt's latest film, Money Ball, tells is about a baseball coach who must exist with his baseball club. The executives of Oackland Athletics baseball club gives the option to the coach, Billy Beane (played by Brad Pitt), to accept the tight budget or leave. Beane chooses to stay with the club. His deal is buying some potential players who are still cheap. Firstly, the club is very tortuous struggle and shuffle. After finding the right herb, they are able to offset the game. Done? Not yet. When Oackland Athletics started up the top ranking, the rich club from Boston offers Beane much better gain with the same position. And again, Beane chooses to stay in Oackland. The climax is the match between Oackland Athletics, the tight budget club, against Boston, a full of money club. Boston wins the game. The film closes with credit, Beane is still struggling with the Oackland Athletics. Once again, this film reminds the gait of Jokowi with Esemka Rajawali, the national car.
