American Fortune Life

Under the bright sunlight, the corners of Andy's handsome face were raised, revealing a faint smile. The suit was open, revealing a well-tailored white shirt inside and a blue tie in front of him, fluttering in the wind.

Walking out of the main entrance of the White House and climbing down the steps, the bodyguards who had been waiting for a long time had already lined up in front of the motorcade to guard. Martin stretched out his hand and opened the door of the Maybach car and stood aside, waiting for him.

Andy walked down the stone steps briskly. Before getting into the car, he glanced back at the White House, smiled faintly, turned around and bent over to get into the car. Martin then closed the car door, and the bodyguards quickly got into the car, and the convoy started soon. , Drove away from the White House.

I had a long conversation with Ao Guanhai for half an hour, but there was nothing substantive about it. The problems Andy mentioned were also problems that had been plaguing Ao Guanhai and could not be easily solved.

To be honest, it is not easy for Ao Guanhai to be the president. Amidst all the optimistic voices, there was a situation of driving high and low at the beginning of his administration, and the approval rate actually dropped, which was beyond people's expectations. It should be said that Ao Guanhai's intelligence and charm are comparable to the best presidents in American history, but why did he get such a sluggish report card in the first year?

Objectively speaking, since he came to power, he has been doing his best, and the action to save the market is very fast. Less than a month after taking office, he signed the "Reconstruction and Reinvestment Act" costing nearly 800 billion U.S. dollars, with the intention of creating job opportunities and stimulating consumption. and investment. The shift in diplomatic posture has also been positive, at least for the first 100 days or so.

But the problem is that it is difficult for the ears to convince the eyes. What people value is the actual results. In this regard, the Aoguanhai government is indeed lackluster. The words are very slippery, and the words are hype, but the actual situation has not improved.

Although, this can't be all his fault, the difficulty is an objective factor. Because the Xiao Feixie government left too many domestic and foreign problems, he soon fell into multiple difficulties after taking office, whether it was the high unemployment rate and medical reform disputes in the country, or a series of wars abroad. The severe test of the quagmire can be said to be overwhelmed.

From this point of view, his presidency is indeed very hard, and there is also a lot of helplessness. After all, many things are difficult to turn around in a short period of time.

But, who let him get the most out of the limelight and blow it out? How high the expectations of the American people and the media are for him can be seen from his popularity. But when people realized that he failed to do what they wanted, criticism and doubts flooded him.

"He didn't end the war, he didn't get Medicare for all Americans, he didn't lower the unemployment rate, he didn't reduce the national debt..."

Perhaps, in the eyes of many people now, his greatest achievement in the past few months was kicking Little Flying Shoes out of the White House.

Andy understands his situation, but he doesn't sympathize with him. In Andy's view, it was his big mistake that Ao Guanhai didn't seize the "honeymoon period" of the ruling party to make a good article.

From the perspective of political psychology, after the president takes office, there will generally be a honeymoon period of 3 months to 100 days. During this period, the public, the media, and even the Congress will give maximum support and understanding, the policy will receive the greatest support, and the voice of opposition will be relatively small.

This is also a very precious period of time. Because at this stage, people will be more enthusiastic about the new policies of the new leaders, and will have more patience to see the results.

But what about Okumi? Floating endlessly, making waves everywhere. In fact, on many issues, Ao Guanhai has shown the shortcomings of insufficient preparation for the presidency and insufficient understanding of this crisis.

He is far from enough in terms of ideology, practice, or talent pool, and it is reasonable to be in today's embarrassment.

In fact, this point also reminded Andy that if his cheap father really enters the White House in the future, Ao Guanhai's current predicament is a typical lesson for the past.

Andy, who was thinking about something, squinted his eyes and looked out the car window. He tapped the armrest of the seat lightly with his fingers, as if thinking of something, he said to the driver: "Pull over, I'm going to buy something."

"Good boss."

The Maybach stopped by the side of the road. Martin and the bodyguards in the three SUVs who followed quickly got out of the car. , Walking along the road under the curious and surprised eyes of many passers-by, Andy was afraid of being watched, so he walked quickly, ignoring the exclamation of some passers-by who recognized him, and walked quickly under the protection of bodyguards Gucci flagship store on the side of the road.

Tomorrow is Mother's Day. Although I brought some gifts from Hawaii, they were travel gifts after all, and I was short of my heart. So, as soon as he entered the store, he packed all the spring 2009 items under the surprise and warm reception of the Gucci shopping guide. The new bag was sent by the manager of Gucci and the waiters with smiles and enthusiasm. Under the protection of the bodyguards, Andy quickly walked to the car on the side of the road. Holding up their mobile phones to take pictures, fans shouting excitedly and passers-by joining in the fun.

"call--"

After getting into the car, Andy breathed a sigh of relief. He no longer has the opportunity and power to move around freely. This is the trouble of celebrity happiness. Although it seems very hypocritical, it is really troublesome.

When the convoy started and slowly drove away from the side of the road, Andy saw through the car window a group of passers-by taking pictures with their mobile phones, his mobile phone rang, and when he picked up the mobile phone and saw it, his expression became a little bit ugly.

"Boss, Dayao's injury requires at least a week of rest..."

As soon as the call was connected, I heard Morey's helpless and bitter tone. It's no wonder Andy was in a good mood when he heard the news. Last night was not only the time for the White House Correspondents' Dinner, but also the Rockets' first game against the Lakers at home. , Facing the devilish atmosphere at the Toyota Center, the Rockets' morale was high and the Lakers, who were suffocated, went on a shopping spree. No comparable Lakers played at a high level, but in the end they couldn't compete with three All-Star superstar players , No way, Artest, who was confirmed as a second-degree malicious foul, was not only fined 30,000 US dollars, but was also fined one game.

The game was won, the Rockets led the Lakers 3-0, but Dayao sprained his left foot in the third quarter, which cast a cloud over the victory. Artest will return in the next game, but Kobe will also Will give it a go.

"Is it a bone fracture?" Andy frowned. He was really worried about Dayao's injury. If Dayao was reimbursed, then the hope of the championship would be lowered.

"No, just had a CT scan of his injured left foot, there is no fracture, just a sprain, he played a little too hard, he needs to rest for a week, maybe he can catch up with the seventh game, if there is a seventh game If so." Morey replied hastily, he was the same as the big boss, and his biggest fear was that Dayao would be reimbursed for future games, but fortunately, the result was not that bad.

"That's good. I believe that even without Dayao, we will kill the Lakers. It's 3-0. It's the match point. I expect the team to kill the suspense in the next game and sweep the Lakers out!"

Andy also knows that the next game will be extremely difficult against the Lakers who are fighting their last stand. Kobe Bryant may cause the Rockets to lose the game, but it doesn't matter. Stop playing.

"There are some bad words on the Internet. The fans of the Rockets are a little nervous about Dayao's frequent injuries. They put forward the idea of ​​trading Dayao, and the media are also panicked..."

"Okay, let them talk if they want to. I will not allow Dayao to transfer. His contract will expire next year. Now that he is injured, he must sign the contract as soon as possible. Dayao is still The living sign of our Rockets." Andy said with a sneer at the corner of his mouth, interrupting Morey's continuation.
