La gouverneure d’Arizona survivra-t-elle à ce débat?
La gouverneure d’Arizona Jan Brewer a acquis une réputation nationale, voire internationale, en promulguant une loi répressive pour lutter contre l’immigration illégale. Reste à savoir si elle survivra à son premier débat télévisé contre le démocrate Terry Goddard, actuel ministre de la Justice de l’État, qui a eu lieu hier soir. Comme on peut le constater dans la vidéo ci-dessus, elle a raté sa déclaration préliminaire, s’arrêtant de parler à plus d’une reprise pour tenter de reprendre le fil de ses idées.
Dans la vidéo ci-dessous, elle refuse par ailleurs de répondre à des questions (pendant et après le débat) sur une des inventions dont elle s’est servie pour justifier sa loi (la violence est telle le long de la frontière que des corps sans tête ont été retrouvés) :
À noter que Fox News n’avait rien d’élogieux à dire à propos de la performance de Jan Brewer après le débat, comme on peut le voir ici

Our distracted commander in chief
By Charles Krauthammer
Friday, September 3, 2010
Many have charged that President Obama's decision to begin withdrawing from Afghanistan 10 months from now is hampering our war effort. But now it's official. In a stunning statement last week, Marine Corps Commandant James Conway admitted that the July 2011 date is "probably giving our enemy sustenance."
Spoiler:
A remarkably bold charge for an active military officer. It stops just short of suggesting aiding and abetting the enemy. Yet the observation is obvious: It is surely harder to prevail in a war that hinges on the allegiance of the locals when they hear the U.S. president talk of beginning a withdrawal that will ultimately leave them to the mercies of the Taliban. How did Obama come to this decision? "Our Afghan policy was focused as much as anything on domestic politics," an Obama adviser told the New York Times' Peter Baker. "He would not risk losing the moderate to centrist Democrats in the middle of health insurance reform and he viewed that legislation as the make-or-break legislation for his administration." If this is true, then Obama's military leadership can only be called scandalous. During the past week, 22 Americans were killed over a four-day period in Afghanistan. This is not a place about which decisions should be made in order to placate members of Congress, pass health care and thereby maintain a president's political standing. This is a place about which a president should make decisions to best succeed in the military mission he himself has set out. But Obama sees his wartime duties as a threat to his domestic agenda. These wars are a distraction, unwanted interference with his true vocation -- transforming America. Such an impression could only have been reinforced when, given the opportunity in his Oval Office address this week to dispel the widespread perception in Afghanistan that America is leaving, Obama doubled down on his ambivalence. After giving a nod to the pace of troop reductions being conditions-based, he declared with his characteristic "but make no mistake" that "this transition will begin -- because open-ended war serves neither our interests nor the Afghan people's." These are the words of a man who wants out. Most emphatically from Iraq, where Obama has long made clear that his objective is simply ending combat operations by an arbitrary deadline -- despite the fact that a new government has not been formed and all our hard-won success hangs in the balance -- in order to address the more paramount concern: keeping a campaign promise. Time to "turn the page" and turn America elsewhere. At first you'd think that turning is to Afghanistan. But Obama added nothing to his previously stated Afghan policy while emphatically reiterating July 2011 as the beginning of the end, or more diplomatically, of the "transition." Well then, at least you'd expect some vision of his larger foreign policy. After all, this was his first Oval Office address on the subject. What is the meaning, if any, of the Iraq and Afghan wars? And what of the clouds that are forming beyond those theaters: the drone-war escalation in Pakistan, the rise of al-Qaeda in Yemen, the danger of Somalia falling to al-Shabab, and the threat of renewed civil war in Islamist Sudan as a referendum on independence for southern Christians and animists approaches? This was the stage for Obama to explain what follows the now-abolished Global War on Terror. Where does America stand on the spreading threats to stability, decency and U.S. interests from the Horn of Africa to the Hindu Kush? On this, not a word. Instead, Obama made a strange and clumsy segue into a pep talk on the economy. Rebuilding it, he declared, "must be our central mission as a people, and my central responsibility as president." This in a speech ostensibly about the two wars he is directing. He could not have made more clear where his priorities lie, and how much he sees foreign policy -- war policy -- as subordinate to his domestic ambitions. Unfortunately, what for Obama is a distraction is life or death for U.S. troops now on patrol in Kandahar province. Some presidents may not like being wartime leaders. But they don't get to decide. History does. Obama needs to accept the role. It's not just the U.S. military, as Baker reports, that is "worried he is not fully invested in the cause." Our allies, too, are experiencing doubt. And our enemies are drawing sustenance.

Il est tout à fait dans son droit de détester POTUS Obama autant qu'elle a adoré POTUS BaBush, tout les goûts sont dans la nature, chacun a droit à sa grille d'évaluation, peut importe aussi aussi inepte qu'elle soit. Mais il n'en reste que puisque POTUS Obama est dans la continuité de POTUS BaBush, les deux à genoux au service de l'establishment et non du peuple Américain, il est évident que d'autres motifs expliquent cette haine.
Pourquoi ne pas en débattre au lieu de jouer à la victime comme d'habitude? Ça fait vieux jeu et commence à dater...

Few Options for Barack Obama on 9/11
The W.H. has yet to announce the president's plans for the ninth anniversary of Sept. 11. | AP Photo Close
By CAROL E. LEE & KENDRA MARR | 9/2/10 4:56 PM EDT
Every year it’s a challenge for the White House: how to commemorate the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. This year is especially awkward, given the controversy around President Barack Obama’s remarks in support of an Islamic cultural center and mosque planned for a neighborhood near ground zero in lower Manhattan.
Spoiler:
The White House has not yet announced the president’s plans for next week, though a source familiar with the matter was doubtful Obama would travel to New York.
But the president’s options are otherwise limited: Last year, he marked the eighth anniversary of the terrorist attacks at the Pentagon, and a return appearance there seems unlikely. This year, first lady Michelle Obama and former first lady Laura Bush will travel together to Shanksville, Pa., to honor the 40 passengers and crew members who died in the crash of United Airlines Flight 93.
That leaves the former World Trade Center site in New York, where Obama hasn’t been since the 2008 presidential campaign. But a presidential appearance at ground zero on Sept. 11 — where an activist group plans to protest the Islamic center project that day — will almost certainly reignite the political firestorm.
Rep. Peter King (R-N.Y.) said he hopes Obama chooses an “appropriate location” to honor the victims, though it “doesn’t have to be a place where the attacks occurred.”
“That’s up to the president,” King told POLITICO. “I don’t want to turn this into a political jousting match.”
Last month, the Park51 project — which would convert an empty building two blocks north of ground zero into a cultural center for Muslims, including a mosque — sharply divided those who had no objection and those who were offended by it, including families who lost loved ones on Sept. 11. But the discussion reached a new level of intensity when Obama said in a speech that the project’s backers have the constitutional right to build it.
While it isn’t as heated as it was two weeks ago, the debate over what’s become known as the “ground zero mosque” is still raw. The right-wing group Stop the Islamization of America has organized an afternoon rally against the project on the Sept. 11 anniversary; speakers include former U.N. Ambassador John Bolton and family members of those killed in the attacks.
“I hope that any demonstration is a silent protest,” said King, who was invited to the rally but will spend the anniversary in his district. “It’s almost a holy day.”
Obama’s aides, meanwhile, are unsure if they want to put him back in the middle of the Park51 controversy, which has damped down somewhat. Obama has not been to ground zero since he ran for president, when he and Republican nominee Sen. John McCain appeared there together on Sept. 11, 2008 — a rare bipartisan moment in a hard-fought campaign.
Last year, in his first commemoration of the Sept. 11 attacks as commander in chief, Obama and the first lady held a moment of silence on the south driveway of the White House. The president later spoke at the Pentagon to families and friends of the 184 people killed there
“No words can ease the ache of your hearts,” he said, as they stood in the rain. But ground zero isn’t the only other place where Obama could spend Sept. 11. With the war in Iraq winding down and the one in Afghanistan ramping up — both of which began after Sept. 11 — Obama could mark the day with members of the military, at home or abroad.
No matter where he goes, the president’s critics will likely speak out. If he doesn’t go to New York , Obama could be accused of dodging ground zero because of the Islamic center. If he does, he risks facing the anger of some Sept. 11 families and New York officials offended by his position.
Last week, on vacation in Martha’s Vineyard, Mass., Obama spent several hours on the golf course with New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, who staunchly supports construction of the Islamic center. It was their first meeting since the president gave his opinion on the Park51 project at a White House dinner celebrating the start of the Muslim holiday of Ramadan. The two men met privately in the clubhouse at the golf course to discuss theeconomy, the White House said. But it’s easy to imagine the Islamic center issue — and perhaps the Sept. 11 anniversary — came up during their time together

New Yorkers Want Islamic Center Moved, Poll Finds
By MICHAEL BARBARO and MARJORIE CONNELLY Published: September 2, 2010
Two-thirds of New York City residents want a planned Muslim community center and mosque to be relocated to a less controversial site farther away from ground zero in Lower Manhattan, including many who describe themselves as supporters of the project, according to a New York Times poll.
Spoiler:
The poll indicates that support for the 13-story complex, which organizers said would promote moderate Islam and interfaith dialogue, is tepid in its hometown. Nearly nine years after the Sept. 11 attacks ignited a wave of anxiety about Muslims, many in the country’s biggest and arguably most cosmopolitan city still have an uneasy relationship with Islam. One-fifth of New Yorkers acknowledged animosity toward Muslims. Thirty-three percent said that compared with other American citizens, Muslims were more sympathetic to terrorists. And nearly 60 percent said people they know had negative feelings toward Muslims because of 9/11. Over all, 50 percent of those surveyed oppose building the project two blocks north of the World Trade Center site, even though a majority believe that the developers have the right to do so. Thirty-five percent favor it. Opposition is more intense in the boroughs outside Manhattan — for example, 54 percent in the Bronx — but it is even strong in Manhattan, considered a bastion of religious tolerance, where 41 percent are against it. The poll was conducted Aug. 27 to 31 with 892 adults. The margin of sampling error is plus or minus three percentage points. It suggested that Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg, the center’s most ardent and public defender, has not unified public opinion around the issue. Asked if they approved or disapproved of how he had handled the subject, city residents were evenly split. While a majority said politicians in New York should take a stand on the issue, most disapprove of those outside the city weighing in: Newt Gingrich and Sarah Palin, among others, have tried to rally opposition to the center. The debate over the religious center has captivated much of the city: 66 percent said they had heard or read a lot about it, and follow-up interviews with respondents showed that the topic was leading to emotional and searching conversations in living rooms and workplaces throughout the city. “My granddaughter and I were having this conversation and she said stopping them from building is going against the freedom of religion guaranteed by our Constitution,” said Marilyn Fisher, 71, who lives in the Bensonhurst neighborhood of Brooklyn. “I absolutely agree with her except in this case. I think everything in this world is not black and white; there is always a gray area and the gray area right now is sensitivity to those affected by 9/11, the survivors of the people lost.” Sentiments about the center appear to be heavily shaped by personal background and experiences. Those who have visited mosques or have close Muslim friends are more likely to support the center than those who have few interactions with Islam. More than half — 53 percent — of city residents with incomes over $100,000 back the center; only 31 percent of those with incomes under $50,000 agree. Protestants are evenly divided, while most Catholic and Jewish New Yorkers oppose the center. Age also plays a role. Those under 45 are evenly divided (42 percent for, 43 percent against); among those over 45, nearly 60 percent are opposed. The center’s developers, and its defenders, have sought to portray opponents as a small but vocal group. The poll, however, reveals a more complicated portrait of the opposition in New York: 67 percent said that while Muslims had a right to construct the center near ground zero, they should find a different site. Most strikingly, 38 percent of those who expressed support for the plan to build it in Lower Manhattan said later in a follow-up question that they would prefer it be moved farther away, suggesting that even those who defend the plan question the wisdom of the location. Richard Merton, 56, a real estate broker who lives on the Upper West Side of Manhattan, exemplifies those mixed and seemingly contradictory feelings. “Freedom of religion is one of the guarantees we give in this country, so they are free to worship where they chose,” Mr. Merton said. “I just think it’s very bad manners on their part to be so insensitive as to put a mosque in that area.” Opponents offered differing opinions on how far the complex should be built from ground zero. One-fifth said at least 20 blocks, while almost the same number said at least 10 blocks. Seven percent said at least five blocks. “Personally I would prefer it not be built at all, but if it is going to be built it should be at least 20 blocks away,” said Maria Misetzis, 30, of the Bay Ridge section of Brooklyn. As the fight over the center escalated from a zoning dispute into a battle in the culture wars, it has splintered New Yorkers along political lines. Seventy-four percent of Republicans are opposed; Democrats are split, with 43 percent for and 44 percent against. Even though President Obama is highly popular in New York City, residents are divided over his handling of the issue (he defended the center, then seemed to backtrack slightly). Thirty-two percent approve of his approach, while 27 percent disapprove. It is not clear, however, that any politician is successfully harnessing the strong feelings around the issue. Even though both Republican candidates for New York governor, Rick A. Lazio and Carl P. Paladino, have sought to make the Islamic center an issue in the race, two-thirds of those polled said it would have no influence on how they made their choice for governor. The poll showed that the economy and jobs remained the most pressing concerns. Yet those who said the issue would affect their vote were four times as likely to support a candidate who is against the center than one who backs it. The intensity of feeling is greater among opponents. Nearly three-quarters of respondents who disapprove of the project say they feel strongly; only half of those who back it do so. “Give them an inch, they’ll take a yard,” Ms. Misetzis said. “They want to build a mosque wherever they can. And once they start praying there, it is considered hallowed ground and can’t be taken away. Ever. That’s why we’re having this tug of war between New Yorkers and the Islamic people.” John Dewey, 65, of the Rego Park section of Queens, expressed his view in more practical terms. “We can’t say all Muslims are terrorists,” Mr. Dewey said. “There is a huge population of Muslims throughout the world, and we will have to deal constantly with them in the future. If we make enemies constantly, then we will constantly have war.”

Farrakhan supports planned mosque near ground zero
Ann Sanner said Thursday an Islamic community center and mosque planned near ground zero should be built because Muslims were among those of many faiths who died in the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.
Spoiler:
"Why then should a mosque, a cultural center, not be constructed a few blocks away?" Farrakhan asked at a news conference in , where he was joined by a coalition of African-American Muslims. Farrakhan and other Muslim leaders said the controversy over the building points to a rise in racism toward minorities and an anti-Islamic atmosphere. The proposed $100 million project has been denounced by many critics as insensitive to the families of people killed at the . They say it is disrespectful to build an Islamic institution so close to the spot where nearly 2,800 people died at the hands of Muslim extremists. "When that building was destroyed, the whole world felt it," Farrakhan said, adding that many Muslims had offered their condolences to the country in the wake of the attacks. He said the area is also hallowed ground to blacks who are Muslims. "Muslims are here. We are not terrorists," Farrakhan said. "We will not allow anyone on our watch to do some silly act to deprive an innocent human being of their life. And if we see it, we'll stop it." Early plans for the Islamic center in lower call for a swimming pool, a Sept. 11 memorial open to the public and a prayer space. Farrakhan also commented on the rumors that is a Muslim. Obama is a Christian. "Respect his choice," Farrakhan said. "He chose to be a Christian, but he has deep respect for Islam. Take him as he is." Obama has said Muslims have the right to practice their religion and build the Islamic center in lower Manhattan. He later said he wasn't commenting on the wisdom of building it there. In a poll released last month by the nonpartisan , 18 percent of people said they believe Obama is Muslim. That was up from 11 percent who said so in March 2009.

Jobless Rate Climbs to 9.6 Percent, Private Firms Add Workers in August
Published September 03, 2010 | Associated Press
WASHINGTON -- The U.S. unemployment rate rose in August for the first time in four months as weak hiring by private employers wasn't enough to keep pace with a large increase in the number of people looking for work.
Spoiler:
The Labor Department says companies added a net total 67,000 new jobs last month, down from July's upwardly revised total of 107,000. Wall Street analysts expected a smaller gain, according to Thomson Reuters.
Overall, the economy lost 54,000 jobs as 114,000 temporary census positions came to an end. State and local governments shed 10,000 positions. The jobless rate rose to 9.6 percent from 9.5 percent in July. More than a half-million Americans resumed their job searches in August, which drove up the jobless rate.

Partisan Trends: Democrats 35.0% Republicans 33.8% Gap Smallest in Five Years Wednesday, September 01, 2010
The number of Republicans in the United States grew in August while the number of Democrats slipped a bit and the gap between the parties fell to the smallest advantage for Democrats in five years.
Spoiler:
In August, 35.0% of American Adults identified themselves as Democrats. That’s down nearly half a percentage point from a month ago and is the smallest percentage of Democrats ever recorded in nearly eight years of monthly tracking. At the same time, the number of Republicans grew in August to 33.8%. That’s up two full percentage points from the month before and the largest number of Republicans recorded in 2010. As has been the case in every month over the past eight years of tracking, there are more Democrats than Republicans in the nation. The gap is currently 1.2 percentage points. That’s the closest the Republicans have been to parity in more than five years, since July 2005. It’s also the smallest gap between the parties heading into any of the recent campaign seasons.
