OBAMA’S POLL NUMBERS TRAIL THOSE OF George W. Bush, GALLUP COVERS IT UP!

Gallup reports that 56% of the public believes that Obama is doing an excellent/good job. Gallup reported 62% approved of George W. Bush’s job performance after the first 100 days. MSM tells us how popular Barack Obama is but the numbers tell a different story especially when used comparatively. Comparing the Gallup poll taken following the first 100 day of George W. Bush and Barack Obama is rather informative especially given the highly contentious nature of the 2000 election.

Here are the numbers for other presidents:

April approval ratings in first year in office
Bush now 62%
Clinton, 1993 55
Bush, 1989 58
Reagan, 1981 67
Carter, 1977 63
Nixon, 1969 61
Sampling error: +/-3% pts

Region may be a hotbed for terrorist recruiting

A new report produced by a branch of the Virginia State Police portrays the state’s colleges and universities as potential breeding grounds for terrorism.

Excerpts from the 2009 Virginia Terrorism Threat Assessment produced by the Virginia Fusion Center:

A wide variety of terror or extremist groups have links to Division 5 (Hampton Roads). This area not only has a diverse population due to the strong military presence, but it is also the site of several universities. While most of these universities are considered urban, two are designated as a Historically Black Colleges and Universities, while Regent University is a private, evangelical Christian institution. While the majority of individuals associated with educational institutions do not engage in activities of interest to the VFC, it is important to note that University-based students groups are recognized as a radicalization node for almost every type of extremist group. In addition to recent activity by race-based extremist groups, an identified anti-abortion extremist group has maintained an active presence. Although activities by these groups have been non-violent, all are linked to individuals or ideologies that have endorsed violence as a legitimate tactic. Read all about it here

If the above is true then why isn’t something being done about it by the government? We keep hearing reports like this but never no action to correct the situration! Anyone have an opinion?

UPDATE: Black official removes graves’ Confederate flags, desecrate graves, and desecrated graves

Several Confederate flags placed on the graves of Civil War soldiers got pulled up by a black Auburn city councilman, who called them symbols of racism and hatred.

Mary Norman, president of Auburn Heritage Association, said she was at her family’s burial plot in Pine Hill Cemetery when Councilman Arthur Dowdell removed the small Confederate flag from her great-grandfather’s grave Thursday afternoon.

“He pulled up the flag, snapped it in two and put it in his car,” said Norman, who is white.

“It’s intimidating to black folks, and it’s intimidating to me as a civil rights leader,” he said. Dowdell said he pulled up four flags and left.

UDC members placed the flags on the graves of Confederate veterans because Sunday is the official day for Confederate Memorial Day and Monday is the state holiday for it.

Norman said she and a friend were in the cemetery doing research for a book about the historic burial ground when Dowdell pulled up the flags. Her friend took a photo of him leaving the cemetery with the flags.

“I don’t think you can go and desecrate graves, and he desecrated graves,” she said. Read More
