Top 10 Reasons Why There Couldn’t Be a Filipino-American US President

[I AM NOT THAT GUY 5,715]

from a shared Facebook post:

Filipinos are certainly getting into mainstream America and into the world. With an estimated 4 million Filipino-American population (as of 2007), Filipinos are an emerging group in a diverse society in the United States .

Filipino talents like Manny Pacquiao, Charice Pempengco, Arnel Pineda, Lea Salonga, and Monique Lhuiller are doing a great job pitching in!

David Letterman, apparently used Filipino-Americans in one of his skits.

Here’s the recap:

Top 10 Reasons Why There Couldn’t Be a Filipino-American US President

By David Letterman

10. The White House is not big enough for in-laws and extended relatives.

9. There are not enough parking spaces at the White House for 2 Honda Civics,

2 Toyota Land Cruisers, 3 Toyota Corollas, a Mercedes Benz, a BMW , and

an MPV (My Pinoy Van).

8. Dignitaries generally are intimidated by eating with their fingers at State dinners.

7. There are too many dining rooms in the White House – where will they put

the picture of the Last Supper?

6. The White House walls are not big enough to hold a pair of giant wooden

spoon and fork.

5. Secret Service staff won’t respond to “psst… psst” or “hoy.hoyhoy!”

4. Secret Service staff will not be comfortable driving the presidential car with a Holy Rosary hanging on the rear view mirror, or the statue of the Santo Nino on the dashboard.

3. No budget allocation to purchase a Karaoke music-machine for every room in the White House.

2. State dinners do not allow “Take Home”.

AND THE NUMBER I REASON WHY THERE COULDN’T BE A FILIPINO-AMERICAN U.S. PRESIDENT IS…

1. Air Force One does not allow overweight Balikbayan boxes!

Old list. Wife says she read it here somewhere on VJ years ago.

When the Fil/Am President comes here on VJ, I'll do my best to answer his/her questions about immigration.

I hope he/she uses their power to add a few more phone lines to the Immigration Unit at the USEM. That would make it easier to call them.

Beat me to it COP - I was going to post that today. My wife saw that on her FaceBook page too.

Here are more reasons why ...

1. Can't find decent chicken adobo in D.C.

2. Too much confusion on what D.C. means. District of Columbia or Daly City?

3. The White House cooks don't prepare rice for breakfast and lunch.

4. No golf with Boehner and Biden, play pusoy and mahjong instead.

5. Can't call the First Lady mommy in front of dignitaries.

Well the main chef in the white house is Filipino, so can get good adobo and rice could be served for lunch and breakfast. Also the current president does eat spam musubi and zip min, but I am not so sure if he eats Filipino food. I think he does coz he was born in Hawaii.

I think Barry might have eaten pinakbet, pinapaitan, bisukol and dinardaraan because he was surrounded by Ilocanos in his younger days in The Aloha State. And today, he might even ask for some moonshine (basi) from Ben Cayetano to wash down the kilawen nga calding.

I doubt Letterman did that. Other than White house not being big enough, it just aint that funny.

Nobody in the national audiance that is not connected with PI would know what a Balikbayan box is.
