Indonesia: In Search of Obama's MadrasahThis is a Photos postThis is a Video post

Over a year ago, Fox News released a story stating that Senator Barack Obama had been educated at a ‘secular madrasah’ as a young child in Indonesia. A madrasah (loosely translated to mean ‘school’ in English) may not sound like a big of a deal, but associating madrasah to ...

Philippines: The Other “Bill” That Hillary Backed

Victory was declared for the thousands of World War II veterans from the Philippines this past week with the passing of the Filipino Veterans Equity Bill in the US. Democrats pushing the legislation now want a six-decade-long law overturned to give an estimated 18,000 Filipino war veterans who live ...

Hillary Clinton's Spirit vs Obama's Talk & Money

Aggregated from: Change And Experience You Can Count On

The people of Guam will vote for the Democratic party's presidential nominee tomorrow, giving the island nine votes for either Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama at the Democratic National Convention in August. Because Guam does not participate in the Electoral College in the general elections, this is...

Hill's Hoosier Hyprocrisy

Aggregated from: Obamanos! Filipinos for Obama Movement

BASED on the revelations of ABC News’ Jake Tapper and opinion writer David Sirota in a blog article in The Huffington Post, it seems Hillary Clinton is once again caught lying – not unlike her hospital healthcare sob story in working-class Ohio and her phantom Bosnia sniper tale in the days lead...

American Gratitude

Aggregated from: Daily Musings

If there's a reason why I would vote Democratic (if I could, but I can't) in the coming US presidential elections, the passing of H.R. 760, the Filipino Veterans Equity Act, by the Democratic Party-dominated Veterans' Affairs Committee would be one of the reasons why. Quick historical background:...

Get Hillary - it's the only choice

Aggregated from: Primary Number: An Australian Perspective on the US Presidential Primaries in New Hampshire

It is all getting rather silly - and very worrying. I watched what we were able to see on TV of the ABC Hillary/Barack debate, topping up content with online clips. Unless one is there, it is very hard these days to get any report which is not skewed with opinion. The big loser of the debate a...

Filipinos and the US elections

Aggregated from: Carlo Butalid's Blog

Many people in the Philippines are regularly following the US presidential primaries. This is in sharp contrast to how these same people may refuse to really get really interested with the political maneuvers of Philippine presidential hopefuls. Funny, in a sense. It is remarkable in that we Fil...

Reactions to “Obama, Osama, O Mama!” Michelle Obama's Militant Racism

Aggregated from: Tony Abaya's Column: On The Other Hand

Background check- Mrs. Michelle Obama Michelle Obama, wife of Democrat front runner Barack Obama, shocked a lot of people over the weekend when she said this: 'For the first time in my adult lifetime I am proud of my country.' Wow! That takes my breath away. Mrs. Obama is 44 years old, so...

Obama, Osama, O Mama!

Aggregated from: Tony Abaya's Column: On The Other Hand

If I were an American citizen, I would probably vote for Barack Obama. He is more genuinely articulate than the plastic and predictable Hillary Clinton. He has real fire in his belly; Hillary has only a bellyache caused by ambition unsatisfied by eight years in the White House as First Lady. Ob...

Filipino bloggers compare US and Philippines politics

Lauded as America’s democratic model in Asia, it is then of no surprise that the Philippines is keeping a close eye on the race to the White House. It may even be insightful to say that when it comes to politics, the Philippines – a former colony of the superpower - is just like the US. Even as politicians change, the system remains very much the same; the voting participation is quite the same; ideological views (and their marginalization) are the same; and the structure of government itself is the same.
