Diplomatie : Les États-Unis répètent leur désaccord sur l'interdiction du voile intégral
LE POINT: Si le projet de loi visant à interdire le port du voile intégral dans l'espace public suscite des critiques en France, il fait aussi réagir outre-Atlantique. La diplomatie américaine a rappelé mercredi le désaccord de l'administration Obama, selon laquelle le texte s'en prend à la liberté de croyance. "Nous ne pensons pas qu'il faille légiférer sur ce que les gens ont le droit, ou non, de porter en fonction de leur croyance religieuse", a commenté Philip Crowley, porte-parole du département d'État. "Aux États-Unis, a-t-il ajouté, nous prendrions d'autres mesures pour assurer l'équilibre entre la sécurité d'une part, et, d'autre part, le respect de la liberté religieuse et des symboles qui lui sont associés." Une position partagée par la population puisque 65 % des Américains désapprouvent la proscription du voile islamique dans les lieux publics, tandis que 28 % toléreraient qu'il soit interdit, selon un sondage du centre de recherche Pew publié le 8 juillet. >>> lepoint.fr avec AFP | Vendredi 16 Juillet 2010

US Reiterates Disappointment Over French Burqa Ban
FRANCE 24: US officials have reiterated Washington's disapproval of a measure approved by French lawmakers earlier this week banning the wearing of face-covering Islamic veils in public. France's Senate will vote on the controversial bill in September.

US officials on Wednesday reiterated Washington's disagreement with a measure approved by the lower house of France's National Assembly banning the use of face-covering Islamic veils in public.

"We do not think that you should legislate what people can wear or not wear associated with their religious beliefs," said State Department spokesman Philip Crowley.

"Here in the United States, we would take a different step to balance security and to respect religious freedom and the symbols that go along with religious freedom," he said. >>> AFP | Thursday, July 15, 2010

President Obama's Approval Rating Plummets to 50 Per Cent for First Time
TIMES ONLINE: President Obama’s approval rating fell to just 50 per cent for the first time today as a growing number of Democratic congressmen across the country contend with angry mobs decrying his economic policies.

The screaming groups, who have hung effigies of Democratic politicians on nooses and even issued death threats, are accused of being orchestrated mobs paid for by conservative groups.

Yet they have captured the spotlight and point to the raging national debate over Mr Obama’s increasingly desperate push to reform health care, the centerpiece of his domestic agenda. The clashes also come amid deep concerns about the exploding budget deficit, a ballooning debt which is threatening the president’s entire economic policies.

After a month in which his poll ratings suffered a significant slide, a new Quinnipiac survey had his approval rating down to just 50 per cent. As in other recent polls, and more ominously for Mr Obama, a majority of Americans now disapprove of his handling of the economy and the issue of health care. >>> Tim Reid, Washington | Thursday, August 06, 2009
