REPUBLICANS WANT OBAMA IMPEACHED FOR WEARING A TAN-COLORED SUIT

(The Adobo Chronicles) – The U.S. House of Representatives voted recently to authorize Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) to file a law suit against President Barack Obama for overstepping his authority and for disrespecting Congress.  This unprecedented move passed largely along party lines, with all Republicans but five voting in favor of the law suit.

The law suit alleges that Obama failed to enforce the Affordable Care Act in a timely manner, particularly the mandate on employers who do not provide health care coverage to their employees.

Republicans also want Obama impeached for abuse of authority by issuing executive orders on minimum wage, workplace pay and LGBT protections without consulting Congress.

Today, House Republicans added another charge to the law suit, chiding the president for wearing a tan-colored suit at a White House press briefing .  “This is a total disrespect for the the solemn Office of the President,” Republicans said, adding that “no other president in the history of the United States has dared to wear a light-colored suit. It is very disgraceful!” They, however, admitted Obama’s striped gray tie perfectly matched his suit.

Speaker John Boehner told reporters that the new charge only adds teeth to the law suit and said that he was confident the courts will rule in the Republicans’ favor.

The charge only mentioned the color of Obama’s suit and tie, but not the color of his belt or shoes.

Manila, Philippines  (The Adobo Chronicles) – The Philippine Department of Health has placed Malacañang, the presidential palace, under quarantine after President Aquino and his staff suddenly started becoming ill.

First, it was presidential spokesman Edwin Lacierda, then Aquino, then media relations undersecretary Rey Marfil.  Soon, most other staff person at the palace complained about being sick.

Department of Health Secretary Dr. Enrique Ona said that all their symptoms follow the same pattern.  First, they start sneezing then coughing.  “It’s definitely more than just the ordinary flu,” Ona said. “We had no choice but to quarantine all the occupants of the palace in the interest of public health and safety.”

Aquino and his staff began exhibiting symptoms right after they were challenged to douse themselves with a bucket of ice as part of the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge. “It’s better for us to err on the side of extreme caution and not accept the challenge,” Aquino said.  He didn’t say whether he and his staff were donating instead.

The Philippine government has asked the help of the World Health Organization (WHO) to help contain what seems to be a serious epidemic in Malacañang.

 

 

GOVERNOR BOBBY JINDAL’S IDEA TO STOP RACISM IN AMERICA

New Orleans, LA (The Adobo Chronicles) – Louisiana Republican Governor Bobby Jindal, the first Indian-American governor, has the perfect solution to stop racism in America.

Last week, Jindal claimed that racism wouldn’t exist if minorities would just forget about who they are and start acting more like white people.  In an op-ed piece published by Politico, Jindal declared that minorities are responsible for the racism in this country:

“We still place far too much emphasis on our ‘separateness,’ our heritage, ethnic background, skin color, etc. We live in the age of hyphenated Americans: Asian-Americans, Italian-Americans, African-Americans, Mexican-Americans, Cuban-Americans, Indian-Americans, and Native Americans, to name just a few. Here’s an idea: How about just ‘Americans?’ That has a nice ring to it, if you ask me.”

Asked by The Adobo Chronicles if he had a specific solution to the problem of racism in America, Jindal said, “Yes! Hyphenated Americans should start calling themselves American-Asians, American-Italians, American-Africans, American-Mexicans, etc.”

“We are all Americans first and minorities second.” he added.

Jindal, 43, is reportedly considering to run for president in 2016.  If elected, he will be the first White Minority president of the United States.
