The Philippines' president, Rodrigo Duterte, spoke against Obama using name calling and foul language in a speech Monday. This outrage from Duterte was caused by Obama planning to have a meeting, speaking of the recent killings of 1,900 drug traffickers and dealers, in a recent war on drugs operation. The meeting has now been cancelled by The White House after the recent speech of Duterte. Obama has now been rescheduled to meet with South Korean leader, Park Gyen-Hye.
This type of behavior from a leader is unacceptable, especially a president of one of the largest countries in the world. Name-calling and cursing at other leaders should not be apparent, but sadly, is mirrored in Trump's and Putin's speeches too. This childish talk shows he is very insecure about the subject and his statement, sating he would not talk about it in a meeting shows he knows that he is doing something wrong. This action from Rodrigo Duterte reminds me of the colonists speaking of the Anglican Church.

I also agree that leaders and people who possess high positions in politics or any organization in that matter should hold themselves to a higher standard to set good examples. If every leader acted that way there would be more hateful crimes and warfare.
ReplyDeleteWhen a a leader acts like this not only is it a bad influence, but it give the Philippines as a whole a negative reputation. Those with so much power should use it wisely and be thoughtful and careful about what they say.
ReplyDeleteLeaders should show a little professionalism, they lead the country after all!
