"Baby Doc" Duvalier Returns to Haiti
HOLMES: All right. Coming up on the bottom of the hour on this AMERICAN MORNING. Glad you're here with us. And a live picture of the nation's capital where they're getting back to business today. First order of business is actually trying to take up a repeal of the health care reform bill. They're getting under way with a debate on that today. Expecting a vote tomorrow. And then after that who knows. But they are getting started back to work after taking a week off last week in respect for the victims of the shooting out in Tucson, Arizona. But again, welcome back to you all. I'm T.J. Holmes.</s>CHETRY: I'm Kiran Chetry. Glad you're with us. A look at the top stories now. And a big boost in the polls. We have a new CNN/Opinion Research poll that came out just an hour and a half ago showing 53 percent approve of President Obama's job performance. That's a five-point jump than when we last did this polling back in December. Also an 11-point jump since September. The latest poll was taken just after the Tucson shootings.</s>HOLMES: And I know what you're thinking. It doesn't cost you enough for your flight ticket, does it? Well, it's going to cost a little more now. Christine Romans sitting next to me just cringing here. Delta and United are the two that are going to be hiking their fares on their domestic flights. So when it comes to Delta, it's going to increase some $20 for a round trip ticket. United prices are going to up about $10 per round trip.</s>CHETRY: Well, you pull in, you plug in and you shop. A growing number of retail outlets across the country are installing charging stations to accommodate owners of electric vehicles. Some charge for the service at the Mall of America. For example, it's three bucks an hour. But at many other locations, it is free. So if you have one of those new cars, they're starting to accommodate you a little bit more in many places.</s>HOLMES: We'll turn to Haiti now, where people are still scratching their heads trying to figure out why "Baby Doc" is back. He is the former dictator of Haiti, returned after some 25 years in exile is drawing a lot of criticism. Also drawing some protests from Haitian- Americans in Miami. They remember what life was like under his regime.</s>JEAN-ROBERT LAFORTUNE, CHAIR, HAITIAN-AMERICAN JUSTICE COALITION: Those of us who grew up in the era of the dictatorship, we still remember those nights. We still remember those shootings. The presence of "Baby Doc" Duvalier in Haiti doesn't bring good news.</s>HOLMES: Everybody waiting for "Baby Doc" to explain his reasons. Supposed to be having another scheduled, at least, press conference after one was canceled already. Our John Zarrella live for us in Port-au-Prince this morning. John, how is he being received and do we think we're actually going to see him come out and address reporters and answer some of these questions?</s>JOHN ZARRELLA, CNN CORRESPONDENT: I've been down here enough times over the last 25 years, T.J., that you never know really what to expect. We certainly think that at 10:00 a.m. this morning, there will be a press conference. We believe it will be "Baby Doc" Duvalier who will speak and explain why he came down here. The reason we've been given so far is he finally had seen enough of these horrible images of Haiti after the earthquake and decided that he absolutely had to be here to be with the people here and to see how they were feeling and to talk with them. That's the reason we were given by a close friend of his yesterday. We hope to get answers from him a little later this morning. Now, on another front a lot of things could be moving very fluid here today. There are people - apparently a meeting with sources telling us a meeting last night perhaps involving some government officials where they are trying to figure out what they can do or what action can they take against Duvalier. Could they arrest him? Could they file a criminal complaint against him? So we expect that there may be some movement on that front. The question, T.J., is Duvalier says he's only here two or three days. If they do file a criminal complaint and someone does file a criminal complaint against him, will that get filed in time before he takes off and leaves the country again if he leaves the country, T.J..</s>HOLMES: All right. A lot of ifs right now. We'll see. 10:00 press conference could be a couple of hours from now. John Zarrella, we appreciate you. We'll check in again.</s>CHETRY: Also just in this morning, Facebook appearing to backtrack on its latest plan to give application developers access to your address and phone number. Christine Romans is "Minding your Business" this morning. This news just crossing, again a bit of a black eye, PR wise, for Facebook when it comes to privacy which they've been hammered about for a long time.</s>CHRISTINE ROMANS, CNN BUSINESS CORRESPONDENT: You know, they've been hammered again and again about this ever changing privacy regime over there at Facebook and then these things still happen. So there was a developer blog for Facebook that quietly last week announced it would allow applications to have your phone number and your address, some of these applications when you click allow and it wasn't released in a press release. It wasn't released to Facebook users in a way they could understand the context of how this would be used and it was such an outcry about it that at 2:30 in the morning last night, Facebook said "OK, stop. We're not going to do that for now until we communicate better how this is going to work." But bottom line here is that if you click allow, the little box that says allow, Facebook can share your information with applications. Your information like your phone number and your address. There was a statement you saw for yourself but you know, over the weekend it was such an outcry that Facebook had to stop doing this. But the criticism has been steady and consistent. That you don't know what is being shared. You don't have control over what's being shared of your personal information when you are using these applications on Facebook. Facebook specifically said we have rules. We have the applications -</s>CHETRY: What this does - what this fuels is this feeling among Facebook users that why is it always up to us to discover that our privacy is potentially being breached? Why is always up to us to discover and this just feeds into the whole argument of a little bit of a sneaky bait and switch with some of these sites like Facebook.</s>ROMANS: I think the take away from us, I mean, if you look at a story like this is that when you click that little button that says allow because you want to do some quiz about your best friend from high school who you haven't talked to in 20 years, you know, be prepared that that application is going to be able to see your phone number and your address and all these other information about you and that application, in some cases, we have seen then that information has been sold to third parties. So there's no such thing as privacy online. I think that's the bottom line here. There's really no such thing as privacy online. You are responsible for protecting yourself. And when you go on these social media - social media, by the way is meant to share as much information to widest variety of people there is.</s>CHETRY: Some of it now is that your digital imprint or online imprint maybe in some cases do share credit card information with a certain site. But because everything is merging, you are left wondering, OK, because they have my credit card number does this mean Facebook?</s>ROMANS: Exactly. And that's why we feel as though even when we allow our information to be shared in certain places we're not really confident that that is where it stops -</s>CHETRY: Right.</s>ROMANS: That it's out of our control. Facebook really suffering a black eye over this middle of the night, dark of the night changing its policy.</s>ROMANS: I know.</s>HOLMES: Christine, we appreciate you as always.</s>CHETRY: Thanks, Christine. Well, do you remember this quote, this famous quote? Fat, drunk and stupid is no way to go through life.</s>HOLMES: Love it.</s>CHETRY: Dean Wormer told that to Bluto in "Animal House." A new study now shows that close to half of students are totally wasting their first two years in college. They had to do a study - no, I'm kidding. But this is on the front page of "USA Today" this morning. The report says that after two years in college, 45 percent of students showed no significant learning gains either because they spent too much time socializing or sleeping. Perhaps only nine percent of time working and going to class and only seven percent actually studying.</s>ROMANS: At $24,000 a year in student debt, that's an expensive way to spend two years.</s>CHETRY: Well, you're saying you learn important social skills.</s>ROMANS: At 24 grand a year. Ouch.</s>HOLMES: It was cheaper when I went to school. I don't feel so bad.</s>ROMANS: I went to a state school.</s>HOLMES: As well did I. It was cheaper then. It all worked out. All right. It's 35 minutes past the hour. Coming up this morning, another week, another winter storm but this one got a new twist on this one. Our Jacqui Jeras is going to be along to explain what you need to know about this latest system and how it's going to affect you.</s>CHETRY: Also, Congressman Giffords said to have smiled at her husband. And why doctors believe that as well as some of the other leaps that she has been making in her recovery are so significant. We're going to talk more about that, coming up.
