Obama Popularity Poll

I find it very interesting that in spite of the media's pandering and overtly gushing over the new president instead of fulfilling the role of being the watchdogs that political media have historically been, that the recent poll of the people after the first 100 days shows Obama's popularity just average. This seems remarkable since he has, basically, received no negative news coverage. It would appear that when he is starting off with just average approval from the people, that if all of his grandiose plans fail to provide the positive results that he is predicting, and he continues down his current path of leading the country toward socialism, and he continues with the Jimmy Carter style of appeasing our enemies, we could find ourselves with another one term president.

From your lips to God's ears.

The media are just groupies with a school girl crush on a socialist.

Tom: I'm Carl Peeples. I was searching on WPDQ and found your site. Your picture of the WPDQ control room was taken by me sometime around 1960 or 1961 with my brand new Polaroid camera. I have the original and only print. The control room in the picture was in the Gulf Life Bldg. before the move to the ACL Bldg. I don't know Bob Dillehay. But, I'm a lifelong friend of Bill Weaver who is also, according to Bill, a friend of yours. I emailed the picture to him and Berkley Fraser within the last year or two. As far as I can recall, they are the only two to whom I've ever given a copy of the picture. And, that was via email. I graduated from UF in 1963 with a Bachelor of Electrical Engineering. I worked for several years during my college days at WPDQ and WQTY in Jax and at WGGG in Gainesville. I met you sometime in the sixties. Bill told me within the last year or so that you could not recall me. I retired from the FAA in 2002 and live in Douglasville, GA (metro Atlanta). You can email me at cbpeeples@carlsgold.com. I would love to hear from you. Specifically, regarding the picture. I assure you that your picture of the control room is the one that I took. I have several more of me and a very young Bill Weaver at the same console in the same control room taken at the same time. I will share them with you if you like.
Best regards, Carl.
