Jokowi

Jokowi is a new name to rank itself on Google Search Engine. According to a Google Adword keyword survey, Jokowi was searched on the Internet during August 2012 as many as 49,500.times

Who is Jokowi? If we look a little closer to his picture he just looks like President Obama. It is only for a joke that recently Jokowi was resembled Obama and Fawzi Bowo (Jakarta's governor) was Hittler, and the video of this "Jokowi VS Fawzi Bowo" has been spread sensationally and funnily on Youtube, drives many to view.

Joko Widodo (born in Surakarta, June 21, 1961), better known by his nickname Jokowi, is the current mayor of Surakarta, Indonesia. His second term is due to end in 2015. His vice mayor is F.X. Hadi Rudyatmo. Recently he has been nominated by his party, Indonesian Democratic Party – Struggle, to run in the 2012 Jakarta gubernatorial election.

The result of the first round election to put Jokowi above Fawzi Bowo that seemingly made such a video written above. Of his humble personality, down-to-earth nature, most of Jakarta people may presume Jokowi can outdo Fawzi Bowo later at the second round of the election

However, Jokowi's road to success is not smooth anyway. Issues of religious discrimination towards Jokowi is one of the barriers which makes him even stronger and this triggers supports from a large number of people, espeically those of the underdogs.

We, Indonesians, just wait and see whether Jokowi will become "Obama of Jakarta" or "Enemy of Jakarta"
