Obama offers condolences to Samoa and Indonesia

I’m just curious, why is the Philippines not included?

NHK TV website:

US President Barack Obama has offered his condolences to victims of the natural disasters in the Samoan Islands and Indonesia, saying the US will fully support rescue efforts in these areas.

Obama told reporters at the White House on Thursday that the United States will continue to provide full support to American Samoa, and extend any necessary help to Samoa as well. The areas in the south Pacific were devastated by tsunami after a major earthquake on Tuesday.

Obama also said he was deeply moved by the loss of life in Wednesday’s earthquake in Indonesia, where he had lived as a child. He said he has given orders for the US, as a friend of Indonesia, to extend its full support for Indonesia’s rescue and recovery efforts.

The US government though was one of the foreign governments which gave assistance to the victims of typhoon Ondoy.

In Arroyo’s indecent regime: loyalty over substance

As we bid goodbye to President Cory Aquino, we reminisce her presidency with affection because that was the time when sincerity, honesty , and decency characterized all her decisions and actions.

Decency is one thing that we cannot say of the hustling among members of Gloria Arroyo’s men and women on who would be included in Arroyo’s official party in the meeting with US President Barack Obama last week.

The White House bilateral meetings was supposed to be five plus one for both sides. That means Arroyo and five cabinet members. Obama and five cabinet members on the others side.

Letter to President Obama

His Excellency President Barack Obama
Washington District of Columbia
United States of America

Dear Mr. President,

We shared the wonderful jubilation of the American people during your historic election triumph. When you assumed office early this year, we rejoiced at the audacious hope that you inspired, and on your promise of change for the common good.

We joined all freedom loving people of the world who exulted when you declared that “those who cling to power through corruption and deceit and the silencing of dissent…are on the wrong side of history.”

Si Obama para sa Amerika; para kanino si Arroyo?

Ang daming haka-haka kung bakit inimbita si Gloria Arroyo sa White House sa Hulyo 30.

Sa akin, kung ano man yun, dapat palagi natin isipin na ang ating kapakanan ay ating responsibilidad. Hindi natin dapat i-asa kay Pangulong Barack Obama ng Amerika.

Kahit na mas desente naman tao si Obama kaysa kay George W. Bush, ang obligasyon pa rin niya ay sa mga Amerikano. Kung magkasalungat ang interest ng Pilipino at Amerikano, obligasyon ni Obama na ipaglaban ang interest ng Amerikano.

Si Obama sa buhay ng mga Pilipino

Excited ngayon ang mga Amerikano para sa inauguration ni Barack Obama bilang 44th na presidente ng United States of America.

Live mamayang hatinggabi o baka abutin na ng ala-una ng umaga ang Obama inauguration.Makasaysayan ang pagka-presidente ni Obama. Siya ang unang itim na presidente ng America kung saan maraming dekada ang nakaraan, hindi makaboto ang mga itim. Hindi nga sila makakain sa restaurant na kinakainan ng mga puti. Kahit sa pag-ihi, hindi sila maaring gumamit ng palikuran na gamit rin ng mga puti.

Kung isipin mo ang sitwasyon ng mga itim noong unang panahon, talagang hindi kapani-paniwala na ang manunumpa ngayon ay isang batang itim na presidente. Talagang makasaysayan ang araw na ito para sa Amerika.

Wala ang Amerika sa galing ng Pinoy sa eleksyon

May kumakalat na text joke na nasa Amerika na raw si Garcillano. Siyempre naman naala-ala nyo pa si Virgilio Garcillano, yung phone pal ni Gloria Arroyo sa “Hello Garci” tapes.

Sinasabi sa joke, inimport raw ni John Mc Cain ng Republican party si Garcillano dahil lahat na surveys lumalabas, lamang si Barack Obama ng Democrats. Kayang-kaya ayusin yan ni Garcillano.

Kaya kapag manalo si Mc Cain sa eleksyon na gaganapin ngayong araw, alam nyo na kung sino ang may kagagawan.

An exciting US election

David Plotke, a recent visitor courtesy of the US Embassy, said he didn’t rule out that George W. Bush’s secretarry of state Condoleeza Rice would vote for Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama.

Plotke, professor of political science and chairman of the Historical Studies Department of the New School in New York, said this before Rice’s predecessor, Colin Powell endorsed Obama.

Powell’s endorsement was a huge boost to Obama’s candidacy not only because the former was a Republican but as former chairman of the US joint chiefs of staff and secretary of state, he has helped neutralized the propaganda of Republican candidate John McCain’s camp that Obama is naïve in matters of security and foreign affairs.
