لقاء بين "المستقبل" و"القوات" الاثنين لتبني ترشيح جعجع للرئاسة

Hi Lebanon first
I agree with you I also favor a CEO type of president to redress our economy which is in dire traits. We need a CEO to bext utilizr our great potential. As of now the Lebanese potential is being exploited by foreign powers be it the gulf region, Europe, Latin America, the USA and Africa. just imagine what only 20% of these expatriates will do to our economy. Unfortunately these expatriates together with the tourism potential for the millions of Lebanese overseas is a great catakyst to jump start our otherwise moribund economy. That with expertise in foreign affairs to regain our respectable place in world forum. Unfortunately I feel Kahwaji lacks the necessary skills to accomplish that. He is no Fouad Chehab who was a military but also an astute politician. Again Kahwaji lacks that. If he is chosen it will not be it will not be for his skills or ability to lead the nation but by consensus. A consensus president cannot be successful

Lebanon first
sorry for my typos bro
Let me also add that I have nothing against Kahwaji and I have no political association be it M8 or M14 or whatever M you want. As far as I am concerned I put both groups in the same bag I support Lebanon and its people. I live overseas but visitng Beirut now. My god the minute I landed at the airport I saw the Lebanese citizen he gave me the impression he is carrying like a ton of weight on his shoulders, broken no smile, impoverished and living in misery. This is a far cry from the Lebanon I know and the Lebanese people who were jovial smile on their face, hospitable friendly etc
As such I feel very strongly we need to turn the page and allow our potential to blossom and to do that we need to get rid of our leaders who have polarized our society

Lebanon first
allow me to ask you a question
why are you looking for a president from our existing leadership? why chose one of those? why not look at the educated non sectarian progressive Lebanese. trust me there are plenty of qualified Lebanese beyond the current leadership

Coolmec.

I hear you. Ideally, we would choose a president from civil society, or from the private sector, who proved his worth in measurable achievements.
In my book, most zaims we have now (leaders), do not have the set of skills to make a good civil servant let alone a good president.

If they would work in my firm, most would not make it through middle manager. Some, like Berri would not make it past office boy.

I read your comment coolmec and I agree with you totally. We fail as a nation because we allow It to fail nothing more and nothing less. We see people cheer for the Syrian people's aspiration to a true democracy and we fail to understand that we have the worst possible form of democracy if we can call it that in Lebanon. Shameful since we all consider ourselves educated individuals but still lack common sense...

I know. The autocorrect function of naharnet, done in Ukraine btw, does not know the intricacies of the french language.
Happy easter lebnanfirst :)
