President Ilves has adopted for himself a part of the government "cheerleader" and the nation's spiritual healer. It is nice, but I would like to see some kind of active political role as well. It seems to be completely absent. Do we need just nice-talking bow tie man giving smooth speeches containing nothing specific, just general positive observations? It is kind of thing we would expect from a man with modern psychology degree: stay positive whatever the reality is. My warning is: such approach can deviate from reality and be self destructive. It is also not characteristic to the Estonian spirit.

Hr. Ilves should be smart enough to realize that if all Estonian citizens could have his income level from taxpayer contributions, that would be the #1 reason for a good life in Estonia.
