For Presidential Spokesman Olivar: Arroyo is indecent, too. (Election Bitterness Post 10)

The problem with the palace is that they are always hypocritical.

In response to this news article: http://ph.news.yahoo.com/gma/20100515/tph-palace-reminds-aquino-60-did-not-vot-d6cd5cf.html

Saying that Aquino's snubbing of the administration's "efforts," especially that of refusing to swear in as president under Justice Corona is, yes, in a manner, legal but somehow disrespectful politically and culturally. But Olivar forgets that the very appointment of a new Chief Justice days after the elections and in a situation wherein the current Chief Justice is only retiring at a much much later date - ignoring the very tradition that the new president can appoint the new Chief Justice and that a smoother transition of government could have actually proceeded without the appointment - is also in itself, legal, but politically and culturally indecent as it created more barrier to the transition (being it is such a weird and unnecessary move from the president).

I don't trust Arroyo, sorry. And if I were Aquino, too, I'd really rather be sworn in by someone else and be extra careful of the "moves" the power-hungry Arroyo is doing in her last days as President. (Yes. Last days. Kasi baka sa susunod as Prime Minister na. hahaha)
