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!

BARACK OBAMA, HILLARY CLINTON REUNITED AT WHITE HOUSE MEETING

3 Comments

imageWASHINGTON, D.C. (The Adobo Chronicles) – President Barack Obama and Hillary Rodham Clinton met privately at the White House for about an hour Monday afternoon.

The White House says the former rivals-turned-colleagues discussed “a range of issues” that included Clinton’s personal emails controversy.

The Adobo Chronicles can now confirm with certainty that 2016 was not among the issues discussed.

Our inside sources, however, confirmed that after the private meeting, Clinton was seen touring the various rooms at The White House, including the Lincoln Bedroom, the Oval Office and the State Banquet Hall with her private interior decorator.

In addition, she asked to be shown the White House room where the email server is located.

Finally, she was treated to a ‘taste test’ of sample menus from White House Executive Chef, Filipina American Cristeta Comerford.

You know, in the likely event that she and Bill will have a homecoming in 2017.

MANNY PACQUIAO WILL RUN FOR PHILIPPINES PRESIDENT IN 2016, TIM TEBOW IS RUNNINGMATE

LOS ANGELES, California (The Adobo Chronicles) – U.S. mainstream media totally missed out on a big, breaking story when they reported that American football quarterback free agent Tim Tebow “paid a visit” to Filipino boxing champion Manny Pacquiao during the latter’s sparring session.

Once all the photos were taken and the media reporters had left, The Adobo Chronicles sat down for a one-on-one interview with Pacquiao.

We didn’t ask him any questions about his upcoming fight with Floyd Mayweather (May 2, 2015, at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.) Rather, we asked the Filipino congressman about his future political plans.

“I’m glad you asked that,” Pacquiao told us, “because today, I am officially announcing that I am running for president in the 2016 elections in the Philippines.”

“I can now also confirm that I have chosen my vice presidential runningmate — Tim Tebow.”

Tebow played for the Denver Broncos and New York Jets of the National Football League, and is known for openly proclaiming his Christian values.  He was born in the Philippines to missionary parents. He is 27 years old.

The Philippine Constitution sets the minimum age qualification for president and vice president at 40, but Pacquiao does not see it as a problem. “After my fight with Mayweather, I will go back to congress and seek to amend the constitution to reduce the minimum age qualification to 25 for both president and vice president,”  he said. Pacquiao himself would be underage at 36, unless the constitution is amended.

“As president and vice president, Tim and I will work to make the Philippines the number one country in the world in terms of boxers, football players and born-again Christians,” Pacquiao told us.

Like Tebow, Pacquiao is a devout Christian.
