Last week, President Obama delivered remarks at the 18th Annual Gala of the Asian Pacific American Institute for Congressional Studies. I liked how Obama made some remarks about his personal connection with the Asian American community by talking about his half-sister, brother-in-law and his nieces, as well as his time growing up in Hawaii and Indonesia. Obama also makes reference to Vincent Chin’s tragic death to the Japanese internment camps.

I usually think really hard when I decide on who to vote for at each presidential election, but this year is turning out more and more to be a no-brainer. I can’t think of any other president in the history of the United States that has kept the best interest of Asian Pacific Islander Americans at heart.

So ashamed of the AA community for being Cool-Aid drinkers ( I am Asian myself ).
