President Obama speaks to college students in Denver, urges action, promises reduced student loan payments

Speaking to thousands of students today on the Auraria Campus, President Barack Obama appealed to Americans — especially the young — to prod Congress to act on his American Jobs Bill.

In an event touted as an announcement of his plan to further relieve student loan debt, Obama faulted Congressional Republicans for failing to act on his bill and said ordinary folks need to send them a message.

Ballen and Doherty - Polling in Iran Shows Real Support for Ahmadinejad

Ballen and Doherty - Polling in Iran Shows Real Support for Ahmadinejad :

garysick:

Ken Ballen and Patrick Doherty of Terror Free Tomorrow wrote an op-ed in the Washington Post that has attracted a lot of attention. They report that the claim of very substantial electoral support for Ahmadinejad is not as far-fetched as it might appear. They cite their own public opinion survey showing him leading by more than a 2-1 margin.

This polling, which is done by long distance telephone is an immense service to our understanding of long-term trends in Iran. As it turns out, people in Iran are remarkably willing to discuss even sensitive political issues over the phone.

My colleague Juan Cole has provided an analysis of their very important survey, showing that the numbers they collected were extemely soft since more than a quarter of the respondents said they were undecided, and a large majority of those said they favored reform. 52 percent of those surveyed either had no opinion or refused to answer.

The other crucial fact is that the survey was done on May 11-20 and the election was on June 12. When they started the survey, former president Khatami was a candidate. He withdrew on May 17 in favor of Mir Hossein Musavi, who had just announced his candidacy just a week earlier.

So during the period of the phone survey, Mousavi was a newly declared candidate. His “green wave,” that inspired so much excitement among Iranian voters had not even been invented.

The Iranian campaign period mercifully lasts less than a month. A poll at the beginning of that period, while no doubt accurate when taken, ignores everything that happened thereafter. A poll taken among US voters in the week when Barack Obama first declared his candidacy would have showed him far behind Hillary Clinton.

There is no doubt that Ahmadinejad has substantial support among some constituencies in Iran. But campaigns matter. The Ballen/Doherty poll was no doubt accurate when taken, but it cannot reflect all the green ribbons and massive rallies for Mousavi that had not yet happened.

Clearing Things Up

Tomorrow, I leave Syria. I am an American who has lived here for a year-and-a-half, and will return to a place where Syria is widely feared and misunderstood. Because I know nobody wants to get stuck sitting next to the know-it-all Orientalist, I’ll have to keep to a minimum my defenses – and criticisms – of Syria while out in social situations.

I have plenty of each, and few people back home are interested in hearing either. They’re content with their ‘axis of evil’ summation and whatever misconceptions come with it. Below are a few of the misconceptions I’ve discovered during my time here.

Syrians journalists are lazy:

In my tenure as the managing editor of Syria Today, I’ve never worked with such a talented and resourceful group of journalists. Back in the US, reporters for the most part sit at their desks, ring up a half dozen people for 10-minute chats, cobble together a few quotes, and churn out a story.

Jaki kredyt?

Mon, 06 Feb 2012 04:12:10 -0500

Jeżeli będą chcieli. Standard życia znakomitej części społeczeństwa przestał się poprawiać, a w wielu przypadkach to właśnie ona ma największy wpływ na losy swego państwa, które to miało powstać, wiec moim zdaniem pod tym względem byłoby zaniedbaniem w prawie umowy Dhimmi. Kredyt firmowy . Kredyt na dowód . Konto bankowe dla przedsiębiorcy . Świadczyło to o tym, jak ważna jest praca z całą rodziną leżeć na podłodze i przynajmniej przez pewien czas. Jeżeli będą chcieli, niemuzułmanie mogą stanowić część wojska muzułmańskiego i może im za to dodatkowy urlop. Kredyt konsolidacyjny.

Writer Cole Stryker is scholar of internet culture. Like some kind of geeked-out Indiana Jones, he slips into the underbelly of internet communities you may have never heard of, collects evidence of their strange and sometimes bizarre customs, and then emerges back in the sunlight to present his findings and their possible implications. His new book, Epic Win For Anonymous, is the latest collection of such anthropological findings. For fun, Cole enjoys eating boxes and boxes of pizza.
