REPUBLICANS WANT OBAMA IMPEACHED FOR WEARING A TAN-COLORED SUIT

tan suitWashington, D.C. (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.

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.

CITING WITHDRAWAL SYMPTOMS, OBAMA ORDERS AIRSTRIKE AGAINST IRAQ

Leave a comment

obamWashington, D.C. (The Adobo Chronicles) – The United States launched an airstrike Friday against Islamic militants in northern Iraq, just hours after President Barack Obama authorized military action against this same country that was invaded by George W. Bush in 2003.

The Pentagon said two FA-18 fighter-attack planes dropped 500-pound, laser-guided munitions on a mobile artillery place near Irbil, the capital of the Kurdish region.The jets came from the USS George H.W. Bush, an aircraft carrier operating in the Persian Gulf, according to a Defense Department official who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive military details.

Speaking to reporters minutes after the airstrike, Obama said the goal of today’s action was “to disarm Iraq of weapons of mass destruction and to free the Iraqi people,” using the exact same words by George W. Bush after the U.S. launched the now infamous “shock and awe” in Baghdad eleven years ago.

On October 21, 2011,  Obama announced that all US troops and trainers would leave Iraq by the end of the year, bringing the US mission in Iraq to an end. On December 15, 2011, US Defense Secretary Leon Panetta officially declared the Iraq War over, at a flag lowering ceremony in Baghdad.

“The U.S. has been having withdrawal symptoms since we officially ended the Iraq War three years ago,” Obama said.”We needed something that will keep our troops busy, so we decided to look for weapons of mass destruction which may have been hidden by the late Saddam Hussein in the mountains of Irbil. Besides, we need to keep up with our reputation as world police.”

When asked by a White House reporter what makes him think that Iraq has weapons of mass destruction, Obama replied, “We saw credible evidence of WMDs using Google Maps which we then confirmed when we switched to satellite view using Google Earth.”
