DICK CHENEY SAYS HE WAS MISQUOTED ABOUT PRESIDENT OBAMA

WASHINGTON, D.C. (The Adobo Chronicles) – Former Vice President Dick Cheney took another swipe at President Barack Obama on Tuesday, criticizing him over the Iran deal framework put in place last week.

Cheney, who accused Iran of having “one of the most radical regimes in history” and being “sworn to destroy Israel,” told radio host Hugh Hewitt the deal will be a “burden” on the next occupant of the White House. “This is a totally radical regime that is the premiere sponsor of state terrorism in the world, and Obama’s about to give them nuclear weapons,” Cheney said. “I can’t think of a more terrible burden to leave the next president than what Obama is creating here.”

There is a big problem, though. Cheney told The Adobo Chronicles that he was misquoted by Hewitt and subsequently, by FOX News, saying that as far as he can remember of the radio interview, he said “George W.” not “Obama.”

Meanwhile, the next occupant of the White House, Hillary Clinton said, “It’s not going to be burden at all!”

All things cleared.

DREAM CONCERT IN INDIANA: AMERICAN IDOL’S CLAY AIKEN AND DAVID ARCHULETA

INDIANAPOLIS, Indiana (The Adobo Chronicles) – Indiana’s Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA), a.k.a. Anti-Gay Legislation, has many unintended consequences. But a music concert?

That’s right, openly-gay Clay Aiken and openly-Mormon David Archuleta have signed a contract to stage a joint concert to be held over the Memorial Day weekend in Indianapolis.

Many of course will remember the duo as both runners-up in the reality show ‘American Idol.’ They are now recording artists and have their respective legions of fans and followers, on and off the music circle.

Aiken is just now just recovering from his unsuccessful attempt to represent North Carolina in the U.S. Congress. Archuleta is back on track after his two-year missionary stint with The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Chile.

Aiken is against Indiana’s RFRA while Archuleta supports it, so that makes this dream concert the biggest deal yet in Indiana since Michael Jackson.

See Archuleta’s controversial tweets here.

Music fans are not going to boycott the concert because of one or the other singer. Both camps have vowed to support their respective idols. And that makes this concert a win-win situation. Even Indiana Governor Mike Pence is attending.

As of midnight last night, the concert, to be held at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway which has a seating capacity of more than a quarter million, has sold out!

The first 10,000 fans to arrive on concert night will be treated to free pizza from Indianapolis’ Memories Pizza.

FIRST HISPANIC U.S. PRESIDENT?

Will a Hispanic succeed the first U.S. black president come 2016?

The next presidential elections is shaping up to be a contest between a woman and a minority candidate.

Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, a likely Republican presidential candidate in 2016, self-identified as Hispanic in a 2009 voter-registration application, The New York Times reports, citing the application it obtained from the Miami-Dade County Elections Department.

Hispanics in the U.S. are fast becoming a powerful voting block and could, in all likelihood, determine the outcome of the next presidential elections.

The lone declared Republican presidential candidate thus far, Senator Ted Cruz, although born in Canada, is also claiming Hispanic roots. There is no denying his claim, what with a surname like that!
