The U.S. of A. has sworn in their 44th President and the world watched in awe and hope, I have to admit it was indeed an historic moment. Just a few decades ago, “his” people were fighting for equal rights in the biggest melting pot of races that part of the globe. Now he is the main man. Although not purely a “homie” and of “da hood,” he is still considered a brotha’. But who cares? The man is now President, and the color of his skin is no longer an issue. Focus instead on what he can, will, and must do to salvage what his predecessor has brought not only to America but also upon the world with his G.I. Joe mentality of economics. Like it or not, America can still create an impact and influence on the world. But let’s not get into that. Not just yet. -- With the stellar rise of President Barrack Hussein Obama to power from the grassroots, is it any wonder that “our” seasoned politicians and personalities want to be associated with his rising star? Not looking at how it came about but with eyes on the prize, the presidency.
Should there be no hiccups, the next Presidential, Legislative, and Local Elections is scheduled on May 10, 2010. That is only 15 months away at the time of this writing. As early as last year, feelers have been sent by those with the intent of running for the highest office of the land. To tell you the truth, I am not elated by the unofficial lineup, nor their early product and self-endorsements. Shall I name them now? Wag na lang, because I do not approve of their message which is all bull. They have been doing and saying that for ages, and you know what happens after, NADA! Now they all want to be associated with the name OBAMA. The notion alone makes me feel like regurgitating my meals.
So what now brown cows? After gulping tons of glutathione capsules and ex-deals with their overrated dermatologists to be white, they now want to be black. Fashion and PR pundits may even say “black is back.” Mark this, they will do anything in the coming months just to be associated with the man and his name no matter how putrid their reputations and track records are.
Now isn’t it a wonder not even one, administration and opposition alike, volunteered to slash their lard barrels? They even had the audacity to increase their take by P2 Billion from last year or a total of P9.7 Billion. Hello! BAROK OPAMA’s, in case any of you refused to accept it, we are in a financial crisis, since the time of Marcos. The global crisis is now a reality, but should not be used as an excuse. We ordinary Filipinos have been too overworked and way underpaid long before that, well, that goes for those of us who still have jobs that is. Even our “bayani’s” abroad are already being sent home. And the hapless OFW’s were even used for a photo op. Na-Barok na, Na Korokan pa.
In light of these, let me cite 10 satirical reasons why there can never be a PRESIDENT Barrack Obama of the Philippines:
None can claim they have an American mother and a Kenyan father.
9. Heaven forbid if one of them admits using marijuana or “blow” in youth and inhaled.
8. They define hard work as being top in the surveys.
7. I dare one of them leave the church or religion they are affiliated with.
6. Barrack is a two-time Grammy Award winner for audio versions of 2 of his books.
5. Barrack does not like “pork.”
4. He is young but not “Estoopid.”
3. He has to prove he can effect change.
Ours want only affect continuity or maintain the status quo.
2. He is the first human hybrid to rule a world power. And he used to drive a hybrid car.
And the number one satirical reason why there can never be a PRSIDENT Barrack Obama of the Philippines:
There might not be a PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION in 2010.
Need I explain further?
