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?

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.

I don't think David Letterman means bad about the Filipinos. Funny as it is, it is very true. Things written above reflect Filipinos being family-oriented, religion-centered, and with sense of humor people. The number of Filipinos in the United States is indeed getting large that Mr. Letterman took notice of their culture and the tradition.. We can deny what he said, but you can't shake it off. Because these are some things that make us genuine Filipinos.
Live it and be proud of it.
