More quietly, the administration is also facing challenging choices in the West Philippine Sea. This issue of Politika, wrapping up the quarter, provides an in-depth look at these topics and the priorities of the 17th Congress. The third quarter ended on an ambivalent note, with either no change or a noteworthy drop in President Duterte’s survey ratings. At the end of the third quarter, 80% told Pulse Asia that they approve of the President’s performance and 80% said that they trust him. These are a 2-point difference from his previous approval rating of 82% and a 1-point from his previous trust rating of 81%.

A brief report is included in this issue. It will be a little cooler and the fall colors past their prime, so be sure to come to the Nov. meeting, this time at our usual Friendship Heights VC venue starting with a film at 1:00 pm, a conversation hour at 2:00, and a presentation at 3:00 by the director (from NY) of Slow Food USA, Mr. Richard McCarthy.

  • Administration of Barack Obama, 2016 Remarks at a State Dinner Honoring Prime Minister Matteo Renzi of Italy October 18, 2016
    Administration of Barack Obama, 2016 Remarks at a State Dinner Honoring Prime Minister Matteo Renzi of Italy October 18, 2016 President Obama. Good evening, everybody! Audience members. Good evening! President Obama. Buona sera! Audience members. Buona sera! President Obama. On behalf of my—Michelle and myself, welcome to the White House. And welcome to the final state dinner of my Presidency. But in the immortal words of a great Italian American, Yogi Berra, "It ain't over till it's over." And so we have a wonderful evening ahead of us as we celebrate the great alliance between the United States and Italy with our great friends, Prime Minister Matteo Renzi and Mrs. Agnese Landini. Now, I have to say, this is a remarkable crowd. I will confess that, at first, I was a little nervous about this dinner. After all, Matteo is called Il Rottamatore—The Scrapper, The Demolition Man. [Laughter] And Roberto Benigni is here as well, and he has promised not to jump on the tables. [Laughter] Ask any Italian or Italian American, and they'll tell you that the dinners can get somewhat animated. People can get excited, especially if your grandmother thinks you're not eating enough. And so Michelle and I decided to just think of this as a typical Italian Sunday dinner: surrounded by family and great friends—paisans—and pasta. But tonight we're reminded that American democracy has been graced by the touch of Italy. Our declaration that "all men are created equal" was penned by Thomas Jefferson, and it was a concept shared by his friend, also from Florence, Firenze, Filippo Mazzei.
