In the press conference on June 19, President Lee Myung-bak said that “Sitting on a hill near Cheong Wa Dae on the night of June 10, watching the candlelight vigil, I blamed myself for not serving the people better.”

He also apologized for the mishaps of the U.S. beef import agreement. However, the citizens criticized his apology as it lacked sincerity.

Then guess what is his complaint when he is sitting on a hill near Cheong Wa Dae?

President Lee Myung-bak and his pet Mad Cow sit behind the Blue House watching the sky lit up by candles.

“The internet is poison,” he says. “I should’ve cracked down on it before things got out of hand.”
