HILLARY CLINTON’S HISTORIC ANNOUNCEMENT

Leave a comment

imageWashington, D.C. (The Adobo Chronicles) – The race for the White House is beginning to shape up, and it’s looking like it’s going to be another Bush vs. Clinton.

Jeb Bush has announced that he is going to seek the Republican Party nomination for President in the 2016 elections.

Although everyone pretty much knows that Hillary Clinton will be the standard bearer for the Democratic Party, the former First Lady and Secretary of State has not officially declared her candidacy.

Until now.

Speaking from her residence in New York, Clinton officially made the announcement everyone was waiting for.

“Today, I am prepared to officially announce that I will make an announcement when it is time to make that announcement.”

Any questions?

BREAKING NEWS: REPUBLICANS UNVEIL COUNTER IMMIGRATION PLAN: AMNESTY FOR ALL

Washington, D.C. (The Adobo Chronicles) – Top Republican leaders John Boehner and Mitch McConnell today unveiled what they called the ‘GOP Counter Plan’ for  immigration reform in the U.S.

The historic announcement came just a day  before President Barack Obama was expected to announce his administration’s plan to fix the broken immigration system by giving legal status to some 5 Million undocumented immigrants — mostly parents of children born in the U.S.

The GOP said that Obama’s plan does not go far enough and will not even create a dent in the national effort to deal with the nagging problem of undocumented immigrants in the country.

Realizing that the immigrant community, notably Latinos and Asians, have emerged as a powerful voting block that could decide the outcome of the 2016 presidential elections, the GOP said it is now proposing to grant full, unconditional amnesty to all of the estimated 12 Million undocumented immigrants currently in the country.

Political experts say that the Republican “turnaround” on the sticky issue of amnesty reflects the GOP’s desperation in wanting to regain the White House in 2016.

What the Repulicans don’t know is that it takes 5 years after undocumented immigrants become legal permanent residents of the U.S. before they can apply for U.S. Citizenship and be able to vote. That’s not enough time before the 2016 presidential elections.

A counter plan gone bust.

Washington, D.C. (The Adobo Chronicles) – After meeting with President Barack Obama at the White House today, top leaders of the now Republican-controlled Congress announced their 2-year, 12-point agenda.

Called the “Conservative Contract with the American People,” the comprehensive and ambitious agenda will be officially launched at a joint session of the 114th Congress scheduled for January 5, 2015.

House Speaker John Boehner and incoming Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, officially unveiled the agenda before reporters at the steps of the Capitol.

The 12-point agenda:

  1. Repeal ObamaCare
  2. Strike down any federal and state law that resembles the Dream Act
  3. Deport all Undocumented Immigrants, including all those whose cases are pending in  immigration courts
  4. Close all U.S.-Mexico borders and ban all flights from West Africa

  11. Require all school classes, government and private meetings, conferences, concerts, sports events, the Tonys, Emmys, Grammys , Oscars,  and Video Music Awards to begin with the recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance. It will be a federal offense to omit the phrase “under God”
  12. Postpone the 2016 presidential elections and give President Obama an extra four years so that he can try to work more closely with the Republican Congress on the above issues.
