However, because both Roesler's party, the FDP, and Chancellor Merkel's CDU (Christian Democratic Union) party have been far too vague on what they exactly plan to do in many parts of the German regime over the next two to four years. This has vagueness after a month of planning and negotiating ha already made not only the opposition upset but has caused most of the German public to become irritated and suspicious of the new government. For example, the CDU-FDP coalition recently attempted to create "a shadow budget (like the Clinton and Bush administrations did) to cover up deficit spending. This practice is considered unconstitutional in Germany.

At 9-months, the baby, Khan Hooa, was taken from his Vietnamese orphanage and adopted in Germany by a North Saxony couple. In North Saxony, the child was renamed Philipp Roesler. Later, the boy became a man and married another physician during his college days. They now have twins. He is a catholic-by-choice and joined the FDP in 1992. His grandfather and great grandfathers were politically active as well.

One thing that makes Philipp Roesler a man to watch is certainly the fact that his rise as a politician in Northern Germany reflects a growing tolerance within German society to peoples of different skin color and gender preferences. In addition, Roesler's manner of talking makes him much-less elite-sounding than does his main counterpart in the FDP, Guido Westerwelle, who has been appointed in this same Chancellor Merkel cabinet to become the nation's first publically gay minister (Foreign Minister).
