Bush | The Adobo Chronicles

Photoshopped version of Hillary’s campaign logo

WASHINGTON, D.C. (The Adobo Chronicles) – Conservatives opposed to Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign circulated an offensive image based on the campaign’s logo.

The “H” in Clinton’s logo was photoshopped to look like the World Trade Center’s twin towers, incorporating fire, smoke, and an airplane. The image was then circulated on Twitter.

Conservatives seem to have a short-term memory, forgetting who was the president during 9/11. (And his brother is expected run for president in 2016).

Supporters of Hillary fired back with their own version of what the Bush campaign logo might look like:

Red vs. Yellow: Bongbong Marcos, left, and Kris Aquino

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles) – In the U.S., presidential politics is shaping up to be a Clinton-Bush-Clinton-Bush affair. In the Philippines, it’s likely to be Marcos-Aquino-Marcos-Aquino.

After four years of the older Bush (George H.W.) and eight years of the younger Bush (George W.); and after eight years of Bill Clinton, the 2016 U.S. presidential elections is likely to be a contest between another Bush and another Clinton – Jeb and Hillary.

The Philippines seems to be mimicking its former colonial master. After twenty years of Marcos’ rule (Ferdinand, Sr.) and six years a piece for the older Aquino (Cory) and her son (NoyNoy), the 2016 presidential elections could possibly be a contest between another Marcos and another Aquino – Bongbong (Ferdinand, Jr.) and Kris (NoyNoy’s sister).

It will be up to the intelligent Filipino voter to make the difficult choice between matuwid na daan (straight path), and baluktot na daan (crooked path). Matuwid na daan is the NoyNoy administration’s battle cry.

The question is, who — between Bongbong and Kris — will follow which path? What color will the voters choose? Red (Marcos loyalists) or yellow (Aquino fanatics)?

Let the games begin!

(Actually, the games have begun. Marcos’ resume is now being scrutinized as far as his Oxford and Wharton degrees are concerned, while Aquino’s love life is taking center stage — largely through her own doing).
