Four Weeks of Spilling Oil While Solution Rots in Warehouse

Oil boom manufacture Packgen has miles of floating oil containment boom in warehouse right now and they say they can make lots more on short notice. Packgen owner John Lapoint said his company is ramping up production to make 90,000 feet of oil boom per day.

The company notified the government 4 weeks ago that they have oil boom but they they won’t buy it. BP sent representatives 4 weeks ago to check out the manufacturer and they are going to send representatives again this week. The boom is sitting in a warehouse as the coastline is inundated with pollution.

The company can produce more boom than anyone in the US and abroad.

Are We Funding Hamas?

Senator Murkowski’s resolution to stop the EPA from using the Clean Air Act to ration energy.

Senate votes to increase electricity rates.

Senator Jim Webb (D-Va.), who spoke for us, until he voted against us. In his excellent impassioned speech he said, “I do not believe that Congress should cede its authority over an issue as important as climate change to unelected officials of the Executive Branch” and “Without proper boundaries, this finding could be the first step in a long and expensive regulatory process that could lead to overly stringent and very costly controls on carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gas emissions. Congress – and not the EPA – should make important policies, and be accountable to the American people for them.” Then he voted no—on the grounds that it would reverse regulatory progress on auto mileage standards and that, instead, he would vote for Senator Rockefeller’s two year delay bill. However, even Rockefeller voted for the Murkowski Resolution.

Its All About Money: Obama Promotes Iranian Agenda

Obama administration fears U.S. sanctions against companies doing business in Iran would anger foreign allies. And, ironically enough, the sanctions are not stringent at all which is indicative of just how weak Obama is and how little respect the regime has garnished in the world. The regime fears that the legislation could damage relations with Europe, Russia, and China. Russia said Thursday that it intends to go ahead with sales to Iran of a highly sophisticated surface-to-air missile. Meanwhile, U.S. business groups have been complaining that the legislation could punish them by barring U.S. firms from doing business with any foreign firms that have commercial ties to Iran. Many oil and trading companies already have halted sales to Iran because of the looming threat of sanctions. But some that still could be penalized are Shell, Total, and China Oil.

End of First Amendment: ABC News' Matt Gutman


While reporters in the Gulf of Mexico may want to do more to protect themselves from the risks involved in touching and swimming around in the oil, the larger battle they are fighting as they cover the oil spill crisis is one of access. British Petroleum has exerted no small effort in keeping the press at arm's length from the story. They've been barring reporters from oil drenched areas, forbidden aerial flyovers, clamped down on shooting photos of the dead wildlife, and basically worked hard to give reporters the runaround.

Mac McClelland of Mother Jones has chronicled some of the struggles she's faced in trying to get up close to the story. In a more recent example, here's a video of ABC News' Matt Gutman, filing a report from a beach in Alabama. Gutman was setting up his equipment to shoot a daily webchat, when a BP manager started hassling him: While preparing for a video chat on his laptop from a public beach in Alabama, Gutman was hassled by the manager of a nearby crew, asking Gutman why he was on the beach. "You mind if I ask why you've set up a camera right here while my guys are working?" the man asked. After Gutman explained that he was a reporter for ABC News, the manager responded, "I find it interesting." For Gutman and other journalists along the Gulf, it's tough to report when so many are barred from talking. "It's incredibly frustrating working here because of those conditions," Gutman told ABC's Dan Harris. "Everywhere you go, you find police barricades, people telling you, you can't do this, you can't do that, or you can't talk to these people. We're not exactly sure why that is."

I tell you what, if the presence of a reporter on the beach is something a typical BP manager finds "interesting," maybe he should take a step back and take a look at ALL THE OIL, THAT IS EVERYWHERE.

Fueled by the static thrown his way, Gutman and his in-studio partner Dan Harris ended up filing a terrific report. Gutman couldn't help notice that the workers who were initially in his shot were all asked to pull down the beach until they were out of camera range. He went on to relate just how difficult it's been for reporters to talk with the locals involved in the clean-up activity, many of whom are afraid to speak on the record because they now depend on BP for their livelihood.

On this past week's edition of This Week, National Incident Commander Thad Allen told Gutman's colleague, Jake Tapper, "I put out a written directive and I can provide it for the record that says the media will have uninhibited access anywhere we're doing operations, except for two things, if it's a security or safety problem. That is my policy. I'm the national incident commander."

One report I was willing to dismiss but ABC News is a legitimate, recognized news agency; if the censorship reaches them the First Amendment is truly endangered.

CPI, How I Was Not Al Gored Into Submission

Prince Charles: Convert to Islam to Save Planet

'Follow the Islamic way to save the world,' Prince Charles urges environmentalists.

Cf. HRH Prince Charles speaks on Islam and the Environment

Daniel Pipes has documented how Prince Charles is suspected of secretly converting to Islam.

In addition, Obama has actively promoted Islam from the White House by redistributing American wealth to the Arab scientific world.

The Islamic Arab world has not taken ownership of their own causes for flawed political systems and scientific policy:

In a region with a long history of autocratic political systems and underfunding of research and development (R&D), the scientific community is lacking both the independence and the resources it needs to drive the public-policy process.
Cf. "Towards a science-led climate policy in the Arab region"

Now, however, Western elites are redistributing wealth and bailing out the Islamist world. Western governments are using their resources to benefit the Islamic Arab world since their climatic changes are dire and pressing:

"By the end of this century, the Arab region is projected to become considerably hotter and drier. . . . The most serious effects of sea-level rise would be in Egypt, Tunisia, Morocco, Algeria, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates (UAE)."
Cf. "Towards a science-led climate policy in the Arab region"

The recently published Arab Human Development Report 2009: Challenges to Human Security in the Arab Countries identifies the pressure on environmental resources as one of the main factors for achieving human security in the region. Western governments, in the person of individuals such as Obama and Prince Charles, seem to believe that by buying off the Arab world, they will forestall the increasing rise of terrorism.

You have to wonder why a Prince Charles would hail Islam as particularly sensitive to environmental concerns given the fact that Arab scientific production is paltry.

Ibrahim Abdel Gelil, vice dean of technological studies and director of the Environmental Management Programme in the College of Graduate Studies, Arabian Gulf University, Bahrain, states:

The current weak capacity of science and technology in the Arab region can be attributed to several main factors. One is an overall lack of interest in science by governments. They devote minimal funds to education and science, compared with those set aside for other issues, such as military expenditures. Another crucial factor is the deteriorating education systems. These factors, along with the inadequate infrastructure and support systems, create an environment that is not conducive to R&D. On a global level, the scientific literature originating in the Arab world does not exceed 1.1% of the world production. Cf. "Towards a science-led climate policy in the Arab region"

Western governments are the bail-out mechanism for a region particularly plagued by deficient scientific institutions, unresponsive or dictatorial regimes, and yet, a plethora of security concerns. Western governmental representatives believe that terrorism arises from deficient social, political, or financial investments, and therefore they believe bailing out the Arab Islamic world will forestall increasing terrorism. They nonetheless are oblivious to the Koranic call to arms against the West that no amount of bribery will prevent.

Nalco's 'Corexit is Killing the Gulf'

Bletchley Park WWII archive to go online

Millions of documents stored at the World War II code-breaking centre, Bletchley Park, are set to be digitised and made available online.

The Artificially Created Gulf Crisis

Coast Guard logs early on revealed that the Gulf oil spill was devastating. Then, as reported, Obama now has an opportunity to exploit the disaster to push for Cap & Tax legislation. The exploitation is more suspicious by his apparent delay and even obstruction of relief efforts.

Almost as if it had been created for him, it seems that the BP oil spill couldn’t have come at a better time for Obama. Just when [he] was cogitating over how to reintroduce the Energy Cap & Tax bill—which will skyrocket energy rates so that many of us will not be able to afford basic electricity—the BP oil spill occurred. This was most convenient for Obama and his plans to continue gutting the USA and its citizens. Cf. http://canadafreepress.com/index.php/article23949

Ground Zero Mosque Controversy


FULL TRANSCRIPT:

JOY BEHAR Plans to build a Muslim center near Ground Zero are becoming a huge cause celebre here in New York City. Protesters say it`s offensive. Supporters say it would be a beacon of tolerance.

With me now to discuss this are Daisy Khan, spokeswoman for the center and executive director of American Society for Muslim Advancement; Roy Sekoff, founding editor of HuffingtonPost.com and Pam Geller, author of “The Post American Presidency: The Obama administration`s war on America” and staunch opponent of the Muslim center.

Let me start with you Pam. Why are you so against the center?

PAMELA GELLER, AGAINST MUSLIM CENTER NEAR GROUND ZERO: I`m against the mosque at Ground Zero. We feel it is intolerant. It is insensitive to the families and to America that was attacked on 9/11. We feel it would be more appropriate maybe to build a center dedicated to expunging the Koranic texts of the violent ideology that inspired jihad, or perhaps a center to the victims of hundreds of millions of years of Jihadi wars, land enslavements, cultural annihilations and mass slaughter.

BEHAR: I understand that it`s not exactly a mosque. It`s a community center, right, Daisy?

DAISY KHAN, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, AMERICAN SOCIETY FOR MUSLIM ADVANCEMENT: Yes, it`s a community center with a prayer space inside.

BEHAR: With a prayer space.

GELLER: A prayer space is a mosque. It`s a mosque.

BEHAR: A mini-mosque.

KHAN: Yes, a mini-mosque.

[13-story mini-mosque]

ROY SEKOFF, FOUNDING EDITOR, HUFFINGTONPOST.COM: But when you hear like 13-story mosque, there is a lot of praying going on there. But then when you find out there`s a swimming pool, a basketball court, you know, a lot is in the presentation.

BEHAR: Yes, it`s a little like the JCC on the upper west side that has a lot of things going on.

GELLER: On their side it was a mosque until people started to take issue with it. So I think the deception, the fact that there is a deception, it is a mosque, it`s not a mosque, it`s a mosque.

BEHAR: Do you have an answer to that?

KHAN: Well, it`s a prayer space. Whether you want to call it a mosque or you want to call it a prayer space, what we have to do is we have accommodate the needs of the growing Muslim community in lower Manhattan. We`re already in the neighborhood. We`re not new to the neighborhood. The imam has been the imam of the mosque ten blocks from Ground Zero in Tribeca. So this is the American Muslim communities, those who live in New York. It`s their opportunity to give back to the community. And we want to revitalize. We want to be at the front end of revitalizing lower Manhattan. And this is our way of doing that, giving back to the community.

BEHAR: I don`t get your objection to it because it`s not on the site exactly. It`s off the site.

GELLER: It`s right there, it`s 600 feet. It`s 600 feet from the hallowed ground of 9/11, of Ground Zero.

BEHAR: Yes.

GELLER: I don`t think the government should stop it. I don`t think landmarks should stop it. I really believe they should be sensitive. We need to be sensitive to the Muslim world. We can`t say Mohammed on Comedy Central. We can`t run Mohammed in a little huggie-bear costume.

BEHAR: Well, that`s — you`re talking about extremists now. I think you have to differentiate between Muslims and extremists. You`re conflating them, and that might be a mistake.

SEKOFF: My question would be, you know, when it comes to pushing hot buttons — they say the three most important things, location, location, location. So at what point? You say it`s 600 feet, would 800 feet be ok? Would two blocks around the side? When does it become ok? Three blocks? Three and a half?

GELLER: What I`m saying is I think that people — I think they should be sensitive to the families, the 9/11 families. We are always being asked to be sensitive to the Muslim world.

BEHAR: Yes. I got that.

GELLER: Why didn`t we run the Danish cartoons? Why did no media run –

BEHAR: Because Islamic fundamentalists and jihadists are objecting to that, not Muslims. Am I right?

GELLER: Did Patrick Henry say give me liberty or give me death unless you insult somebody?

BEHAR: But also Pam, didn`t a lot of Muslims die in 9/11 too?

GELLER: I don`t know. I think it was roughly around 20. I believe that Muslims have –

BEHAR: Where did you get that number?

GELLER: Where did you get your number?

BEHAR: I`m asking the question. Did you hear a number come out of my mouth?

GELLER: No, but I`m saying — no, a lot did not die. But I don`t think that the number — if one died it`s wrong, one or 20 or 50 or 100.

BEHAR: Ok.

GELLER: What I`m saying is the ideology that inspired jihad, jihad is part of Koranic texts and (INAUDIBLE) and Sura. Why can`t we work towards expunging the Islam of these violent texts? Wouldn`t that be a period of enlightenment much like –

BEHAR: Expunging from the Koran?

GELLER: Violent texts.

BEHAR: There is violent text in the bible.

GELLER: Nobody is blowing themselves up around the world.

BEHAR: Not right now, but they have.

[14 centuries ago]

GELLER: No, nobody is. Why are we rewriting reality? Why don`t we deal with reality as it happens?

BEHAR: Ok. The Tea Party leader says it`s a monument to terrorists. What is your answer to these people?

KHAN: Well, first of all, they`re completely ignorant of who Muslims are. There is 1.5 billion Muslims in the world.

BEHAR: 1.5 billion.

KHAN: Billion.

BEHAR: In the United States?

SEKOFF: That`s probably the more important number.

KHAN: No, in the world.

BEHAR: In the world.

KHAN: Not the United States.

BEHAR: What am I saying? We have 300 million people here. Right.

KHAN: And there is estimated to be 6 to 8 million and growing in the United States. And all of us are law abiding citizens. Majority of us; there might be a fraction like we saw the other day. But what is really important is that there is a lot of ignorance about who Muslims are.

BEHAR: Right.

KHAN: And this, a center like this would be dedicating to removing that ignorance. And it will also counter the extremists.

[Pakistani Muslim, Muzzammil Hassan, was devoted to fighting that ignorance. He started a TV station in NY to “give American Muslims a voice and depict them in everyday real life situations” and then proceeded to beheaded his wife for wanting a divorce. All of us are law-abiding citizens?]

BEHAR: Right.

KHAN: Because the moderate Muslims need a voice. Their voices need to be amplified.

[What voices?]

BEHAR: Isn`t it better to put it there so that the moderate Muslims could have a say in all the arguments?

GELLER: At the last Friday sermon of Imam Raoul (ph), he said the opposition was hostile. Why were they so hostile? Their grandchildren were going to be Muslim anyway. What I`m saying you is that at some point –

BEHAR: I don`t understand.

GELLER: That our grandchildren were going to be Muslim anyway. So we ought to get –

BEHAR: Whose grandchildren?

SEKOFF: All of ours. That by the time that the next generation comes –

BEHAR: I will have one soon.

SEKOFF: Get on the phone. Honey, I don`t care, whatever.

GELLER: I mean we can`t dispute the fact that there is jihad commanded in the Koran. That there is tekiah (ph) which is deception and lies to advance Islam in non-Muslim societies. And I think we should be working in the spirit of humanity and brotherhood and love that we should be working towards expunging the very ideology that inspires jihad, the Times Square bomber, the Christmas balls bomber.

BEHAR: But you know what, Pam, that center is going to have a public memorial to 9/11.

KHAN: Yes.

BEHAR: Which doesn`t interfere with this whole idea at all.

GELLER: I understand the thing keeps morphing. Everything keeps morphing. It was a 13-story mosque. And it`s a mosque on the sacred ground of 9/11. We think that in the spirit of tolerance and mutual understanding and mutual –

BEHAR: In the spirit of tolerance, you would allow it.

GELLER: No, no — I`m not — who am I, God? I`m not disallowing it. I`m saying –

BEHAR: You`re protesting it.

GELLER: I`m protesting it because I feel that it`s very insensitive. It hurts the 9/11 families. All the families that were there last night, I think that it is incredibly insensitive to our feelings that it is humiliating and demeaning.

BEHAR: Just jump in. Just jump in.

KHAN: I want to jump in because we have received the support of the elected officials.

BEHAR: I know. They voted to put it up.

KHAN: The squadron, Stringer, Chin, they all came in support because they really want to see the Muslim community leading the effort to rebuild lower Manhattan.

[rebuild or take control?]

BEHAR: Right.

KHAN: And we have Jewish leaders who came out in support of our initiative. We had Christian leaders that came out in support of our initiative. We had 9/11 families, 250 families. The peaceful families, they really want a center like this. They want us to take the time –

(CROSSTALK)

BEHAR: Can I ask you a question?

KHAN: And turn it to something positive.

[Only bright moment for Behar]

BEHAR: Can I ask a legit question? Where is the money for this? It`s going to cost $100 million. Where is the money coming from?

KHAN: That`s a very good question. Actually we went to the community board so we could excite them and find out what their needs were because it`s really for the community. We have not determined the full scope of this project. When our detractor says that we are shifting and changing, of course we are. The whole scope of the project has not been defined. You know, we heard from people so we decided we should have a memorial out of sensitivity to everyone.

[Why would they have had to hear from someone? And where's the money coming from?]

BEHAR: Right.

KHAN: We heard from the community and we`ve decided that there is going to be a senior citizens space because that is what is needed. We heard from the community. We are creating a 500-seat performing arts theater. So the money is not — we have not even started the fundraising campaign.

BEHAR: Are you afraid that there is going to be some kind of jihad thing going on there?

GELLER: I dislike the deception, the fact that the imam said that the Christians of the west were responsible for 9/11. The imam`s father was a member of the Muslim Brotherhood.

KHAN: That is not true. That`s false. That`s absolutely false.

(CROSSTALK)

GELLER: But there is evidence of it. And we could certainly spend time. We ought to present the evidence.

KHAN: This is a false statement.

GELLER: And the 49 Muslim nations that contributed to the 96 street Islamic Street Center, is that false too?

KHAN: I have absolutely no idea where you`re getting your information from because it`s false. You are actually making false statements. And my father-in-law has been dead for almost, you know, seven, eight years. And I think it`s very painful, a man who dedicated his life to interfaith dialogue who actually began interfaith dialogue in this country. He was a great luminary who shaped Islam in this country as a way of reaching out to interfaith communities. It`s wrong. It`s wrong to say something about somebody –

[FYI - the man in charge of the mosque doesn't believe in religious dialogue.]

BEHAR: We have to let the man speak. Let the guy speak for a second.

GELLER: I would be happy to post the evidence of the Muslim Brotherhood. And I do feel your pain. And we`re asking that you feel our pain.

SEKOFF: Well, that is actually the point of this whole discussion, Joy is that this is a discussion where I can actually see both sides. I really can. But symbolism cuts two ways. I mean I can understand here one man`s symbolism — a slap in the face is a gesture of brotherhood. The question though is at the end of the day if it`s going to go either way, where does America come down?

The genius of America, the beauty of America is that we err on the side of tolerance, we err on the side of openness, we err on the side of, you know, letting inclusion in. And for me the number is not how many people died, but the fact that you say 1.5 billion Muslims. Are we going to say to them you`re not welcome here? You`re viewed as the enemy here. I think that`s a dangerous message.

[Insane. The mosque is 600 feet from Ground Zero. It has nothing to do with 1.5B Muslims or not being welcoming. Simple respect dictates that that site not be desecrated. If one wants to take advantage of religious freedom one has to be mindful of others.]

BEHAR: It kind of contributes to more hatred of America.

GELLER: Oh, I don`t think so.

BEHAR: Yes.

GELLER: I think it would be lovely if we said we understand the feelings of the victims of 9/11. We won`t — we won`t put a giant mosque here. I disagree. I think that that would be an extraordinary gesture of goodness, mutual respect and mutual understanding. No one is telling them they can`t. We`re asking them not to.

BEHAR: Well then, they are going to. They already voted to do it.

GELLER: Well the vote has no power.

BEHAR: Ok.

GELLER: The vote has no power. There`s no power in the vote.

KHAN: The important thing is — the important thing is what the community said yesterday.

BEHAR: Yes.

KHAN: Twenty-nine people voted in favor of this because we are bringing much needed amenities.

[Was a mosque - now it's supplying amenities.]

GELLER: But the crowd was very much against it.

BEHAR: All right.

GELLER: And the elected officials, the politicians do not reflect the people`s sentiments at all. I was there.

BEHAR: Ok, thank you very much, everybody.

Saddam's WMD Found?

Syrian journalist Nizar Nayouf claimed in 2004 that Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein smuggled his arsenal of chemical and biological weapons into Syria just prior to the United States' invasion of Iraq in 2003.

Mass. Governor Endorses Islam


Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick embraces an imam who is alleged to have preached the need to take up arms to defend the rights of Muslims.

After vowing to eliminate racial profiling and guaranteeing Muslims their civil rights, Patrick, a Democrat, hugged Imam Abdullah Faaruuq at the meeting with more than 1,000 Muslims at the Muslim American Society-affiliated mosque at Boston's Roxbury Crossing.

The newest Boston-area mosque was dedicated last year and is affiliated with the MAS, an Islamic advocacy organization that public policy group Americans for Peace and Tolerance says has known ties to the Muslim Brotherhood.

Faaruuq urges his followers to take up arms to protest the arrest of terrorism suspect Tariq Mehanna and Faaruuq's congregation member Aisha Siddiqi.

Mehanna was arrested last October for allegedly planning an attack at a shopping mall and Siddiqi was arrested for allegedly plotting to kill FBI agents.

Faaruuq said: "Take up the pen; the typewriter, the sword, the gun. You can take up a plowshare. You can become a surgeon and do everything you can to contribute to this society in a full way."

Faaruuq also claimed that Muslims have served in the military fighting for the United States in every major conflict since the American Civil War.

However, there are few references to Muslims in American history. Writing on the Now Public website, Chantilly, Va., writer Morris Sadek says that contrary to many recent claims, Muslims have made few if any contributions to American history.

Most of the claims about Muslims in American history are on Muslim-hosted web sites. Islam 101 says that Muslims arrived in North America over 100 years before Columbus and about 300 years before the Pilgrims.

Patrick's office refused comment saying, "We're not going to make any statement on this issue."

James O'Keefe has released video demonstrating massive payroll fraud in the U.S. Census

James O'Keefe has released video demonstrating massive payroll fraud in the U.S. Census. And if Census workers are being trained to falsify their payroll reports, how is our Census data being handled?

From biggovernment.com, today:

On April 27, 2010, I got a job with the United States Census Bureau in New Jersey. With a hidden camera, I caught four Census supervisors encouraging enumerators to falsify information on their time sheets. Over the course of two days of training, I was paid for four hours of work I never did. I was told to take a 70 minute lunch break, was given an hour of travel time to drive 10 minutes, and was told to leave work at 3:30pm. I resigned prior to doing any data collection but confronted Census supervisors who assured me, “no one is going to be auditing that that level,” and “nobody is going to be questioning it except for you.” Another Census supervisor only said he’d adjust my pay after I gave him a letter recanting my hours.


O'Keefe does the math: this could mean rampant fraud with workers trained to embezzle as much as $1,000,000,000 of taxpayers' money, throughout the nation. The video is shown and James O'Keefe's article continues at biggovernment.com.


The White House is officially running this operation. It took management of the U.S. Census away from the U.S. Department of Commerce, where it is traditionally administered. This is the same White House which is historically allied with ACORN and other Marxist/fascist operations and their operators, worldwide. Further, they are failing to enforce laws against massive illegal immigration, while persecuting Arizona for attempting to enforce official United States policy.

This purposeful and systematic abuse of government is clearly in line with the Cloward-Piven (or Alinsky, or Marxist, or... communist) strategy of corrupting, overwhelming, and collapsing American government, economy, and society. All, to bring about the revolution. This has been revealed by numerous Internet venues, including this one.

School Bus Driver Lectures Girl on Gay Rights

A school bus driver in Indiana lectures a girl on gay rights, calling the student a "stupid little bigot" and saying that she would "eat the girl alive." The bus driver was not disciplined in any way for her lecture and remarks to the girl. In fact, when the girl's father, Dr. Andrew Zimmer, complained to the school about the bus driver's actions, he was told that the behavior of the driver fell within the scope of her employment. The school superintendent is at (317) 844-9961, ext. 1048 and some have called to demand disciplinary action for the bus driver.

State Department Supports Muslim Education: Americans Can Expect Less

The U.S. State Department has developed and begun to issue a free computer game where a "Muslim population makes it a logical place for success," according to an article in Government Computer News. The game, "X-Life: Driven," puts the Muslim player in the role of a youth, male or female, with a scholarship to a fictional Pennsylvania university. According to Ali Manouchwhri, CEO of Metrostar Games, Muslims will learn that the U.S. will have an Islamic Student Union in an American University to make sure they are comfortable in America. The goal of the game promotes the values of global citizenry. Middle Eastern Muslim students are reportedly embracing the game and learning how to attend U.S. universities.

A thorough examination of the game play and website did not reveal anything American about it. There is no mention of the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, or any other traditional aspect of American history, culture, or life. The gamer does not learn anything about America except how to attend an American University.

"We [America] would be one of the largest Muslim countries of the world," Obama interviewed on French TV.


"We are no longer a Christian nation," Obama


Meanwhile, according to a survey conducted by this nation's most important newspaper for post-secondary education, The Chronicle of Higher Education, 62% of the chief finance officers at four-year colleges responded said they did not think the worst of the financial pressures on their institutions had passed. Nearly two-thirds of them worry that 2010, 2011, or 2012 or later, will be even tougher.
