MIAMI, Florida (The Adobo Chronicles) – Realizing his poll numbers are not getting any better, Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush is now endorsing frontrunner Donald Trump to be the GOP nominee for president in the 2016 elections.
In a statement issued today, the younger brother of George W. Bush urged voters to go ahead and vote for Trump.
Bush’s endorsement is expected to further boost Trump’s campaign and enable the real estate mogul to break away from what appears to be a serious threat posed by Ben Carson. Some recent polls have shown Carson in a dead heat with Trump or overtaking the Donald for the lead.
In endorsing Trump, Bush said he has other more imprtant things to do than being president.
MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles) – The two Philippine presidents before this current administration both faced jail time, and NoyNoy Aquino seems headed the same path as his predecessors.
Joseph Estrada was jailed for plunder but was subsequently released by his successor, Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo who herself is in hospital arrest for charges of electoral sabotage and misuse of lottery funds.
Asked about his opinion on threats by his critics to charge and arrest him for the implementation of the Priority Development Assistance Fund (PDAF) and the Disbursement Acceleration Program (DAP), parts of which were declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court, Aquino said that going to jail will be a “necessary consequence.”
(Update: President Aquino was accused yesterday before the Office of the Ombudsman of illegal use of public funds through DAP and PDAF).
Because of this consistent pattern with the Office of the President, lawmakers are gearing up for a charter change (locally known as ‘cha-cha’) that would amend the qualifications for the presidency. In addition to citizenship, residency and age qualifications, the lawmakers want every candidate for president to be “able and willing” to go to jail after his or her term of office. A few senators are even proposing that the elected president should not be immune from lawsuit during his or her term.
WASHINGTON, D.C. (The Adobo Chronicles ) – Most Americans who watched almost eleven hours of yesterday’s Congressional committee hearing on Benghazi felt sorry for the Republicans who failed miserably in their mission to take down Hillary Clinton and derail her campaign for the presidency.
But there is no reason to feel sorry for the former First Lady and Secretary of State. She enjoyed the free airtime to promote her presidential quest.
But that’s not all.
Clinton was also able to promote her book, thanks to this exchange with committee chair, Republican Congressman Trey Gowdy:
GOWDY: Madam Secretary, you’re welcome to answer the question if you’d like to.
CLINTON: Well, I wrote a whole chapter about this in my book, “Hard Choices.” I’d be glad to send it to you Congressman.”
We can’t wait to see the results of the next presidential poll, as well as an update on The New York Times’ “Best Seller” list.
