US President Barack Hussein Obama has emerged as a world leader at a time when the world is desperately looking for a worthy leadership less to talk about the Americans. Obama has assumed office and started his arduous journey; Americans as well as the people across the globe are looking forward to a change change that Obama pledged in the pre-election campaign. Pressures of expectations are sky-high. At home, our Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has been elected by the people in a landslide victory, with almost same kind of hopes and aspirations on the part of the people, as the previous BNP-led four party coalition regime left the country in a state of debris in terms of corruption in almost all the departments of the government and very poor governance almost a failed one. Sheikh Hasina's government also knows and feels the pressures of expectations. Obama has started taking difficult decisions to salvage their sinking economy, creating job sources by stopping the unprecedented decline in jobs and the critical foreign policies in a way that reveals the core fact that his administration devised things/plans beforehand. And by contrast, Sheikh Hasina's government, though has shown some dynamism in forming the cabinet, appears to be stumbling onto some vital issues --- they, as it seems, didn't devise their course of action beforehand. Now, for Sheikh Hasina's administration it has become imperative that they recompose and reshuffle their course of action and implement their plans accordingly.
