Unfortunately Taufik Kemas (President Husband) say that He was kidding. Because he gave a report to the pers not to the president (1/3/2004). He has his lucky. Because all the reporter and pers gave him a good opinion. He was forced by Taufik Kiemas, Mrs. megawati husband.
Than at 9 Marc 2004, He writes a letter to The PresidentMegawati. He asked about his authority and asks to have a time for meeting. Megawati, the president did not answer. Mr. Bambang Kusowo, secretary of cabinet say that SBY impatient to write a letter to president, if only about asking a meeting time.

Dwitunggal SBY-JK
His retire process is the effect of he was never employed in the Megawati cabinet. And than he get his popularity. He was lucky because he have more popular than the other. He was only asked as a Vice president before. His popularity make him get more vote . than Democrat Party seat as the fifth position. So SBY had been offering as a President. After two step election SBY-JK beat Megawati-Hasyim about 60% vote for SBY-JK ( Jusuf kala ).
One point that we can study from this man. Actually pers is a good tool for promotion. Pers and Media can build a good impression. So to make a promotion you must built a public opinion than the voters will give their vote automatically. ( by Joe and Adjie )
