'What in the fuck has' made someone pick this domain name and then expect to be takes seriously :P

...taken...

I'm not sure if that website has a liberal or conservative agenda, but I am sure that it's just spin, spin, spin on every example I saw and so can be safely ignored.

Spin? Bias? I saw a list of cold hard facts. All of them were cited to 'credible' mainstream news sources. Are facts to be ignored because one doesn't like the way they're presented?

"Pushed for a 5 year prison term for Charles Lynch, the operator of a medical marijuana dispensary, legal under California law"

It's still illegal under federal law. Obama is enforcing federal law. That's what he should do. Good for him.


"Revived "Prompt Global Strike" weapons system, considered too controversial by Bush Administration"

Conventional ballistic missiles. The worry is that the Russians would think there's a nuke on them, when really it's just an absurdly powerful conventional weapon. There's a discussion to be had here, but framing it as him taking on a policy that even the Bush administration found too controversial is, shall we say, more prejudicial than probative.


"Successfully prosecuted child soldier Omar Khadr using evidence obtained through torture"

Terrible story, but this kid was fighting American soldiers on the battlefield. Again, it's a terrible situation ,and because it's so terrible it deserves mroe than a blurb on a website with an obscene name.


That's kind of the whole thing wrong with the site. It presents the facts in an overly simplisctic way which makes understanding the real issues more difficult. Therefore, safely ignored.

Not trying to get into this debate but your first paragraph is incorrect. Medical marijuana is indeed legal under California law. The recent proposition was seeking to make it's recreational use legal and that failed.

No, you read the paragraph wrong. It's still illegal under federal law. It's not that hard to understand.

So I did.

"That's kind of the whole thing wrong with the site. It presents the facts in an overly simplisctic way which makes understanding the real issues more difficult. Therefore, safely ignored."

Well, if you wanted more information on any of the facts, the site provided a link to a news story that gave all the gory details. However, I daresay you are not the target audience for this site. But for folks who don't follow politics particularly closely, are of a 'liberal' bent, and still think Obama is The Messiah, this site does a great job of shattering that illusion. For what it intends, I think it does an excellent job - quick and to the point for people who aren't going to sit around and read a 30 page white paper.

beat me to it tolstoy.

Haha, Sic, you know that the site is a retort to the original site:
http://whatthefuckhasobamadonesofar.com/

Yeah, it's missing the "in". Now view Obama's actions through the other lens. There are liberals, and there are conservatives, and then there are straight pessimists like you. There's good and bad and even more in between.

So wait the site without the "in" is pro Obama right, it's supposed to refute the people who say he hasn't done anything?

Now this site Sic posted is supposed to say like "oh look at all these awful things Obama's done"

I have to admit, it's not convincing me. I'm with Invictus for the most part.

As per unusual.

Yeah, the one without the "in" is the first website, and it was designed because a lot of people were quite unaware of what Obama had really done. The second was designed as a rebuttal, that's why the buttons ("That's cool, what else you got?") don't make much sense in the context of negativity.

hmm wasnt aware the site was a parody of another.

Anyway I'm not a pessimist, I'm a realist.

I'd bet that just as many people think themselves realists as people think themselves better-than-average drivers.

Biff, you're many things, but you're absolutely not a realist.

I'm a pessimist and a realist. The worst *can and will* happen.

I'm a pessimist :(
The worst can happen, and should be planned for, but generally won't happen.

The nice thing about being a pessimist is that you can never be disappointed (because when you're wrong, it's a *good* thing).
