Good point. And that makes things easier for me anyway.

Here are the links, which are compiled from liberal blogs, but as I said before, are very well sourced with internal links. (Also, the lists are somewhat out of date.)

Ignore or debate the lists as you wish.

Actually, I would be in favor of a thread, even a sticky, trying to list both accomplishments and black marks of the administration.

By the way, I'm not necessarily agreeing with the characterization of everything in those links as "accomplishments." But I do think that there is quite a bit on those lists that would not have been present under a GOP administration, contrary to those who like to claim that there is little difference between the parties.

Depends on who you talk to, obv, but either that or Obamacare.

Man those who claim there isn't much difference disappeared with RP. We are now locked in a battle of full of fascism versus socialism ITF's opinion.

idk about weather it's the nut low, but these kinds of drone attacks, the deterioration of civil liberties, and increasing raids on pot dispensaries are imo among Obama's worst actions.

You have DADT and the support of gay marriage on the plus side of civil liberties issues. Pot dispensaries is really surprising to me as I don't see the him being philosophically opposed nor do I see the political gain. I will give Obama the benefit of the doubt and figure he is letting the guys at Justice do their jobs as they see fit.

Re: A New September Low Political Content Thread

Leftists are also upset about card check, cap and trade, Gitmo still being open, etc. Lots of broken promises but Romney can't/won't touch them. ****ing Obama got smart on that ****.

The war on whistleblowers, Bradley Manning, etc. also rustle the jimmies of more than a few.

NOAA's forecast for Tropical Storm Kirk

Quote:
ZCZC MIATCDAT1 ALL
TTAA00 KNHC DDHHMM

TROPICAL STORM KIRK DISCUSSION NUMBER 20
NWS NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL AL112012
1100 AM AST SUN SEP 02 2012

KIRK IS NOT EXPECTED TO LIVE LONG AND PROSPER. VISIBLE SATELLITE
IMAGES AND A 1214 UTC ASCAT PASS INDICATE THAT THE SYSTEM STILL HAS
A CLOSED CIRCULATION BUT IT IS BECOMING ELONGATED. MAXIMUM
RELIABLE WINDS IN THE ASCAT PASS WERE AROUND 45 KT SO THE INITIAL
WIND SPEED IS HELD AT THAT VALUE. KIRK WILL LIKELY BECOME
POST-TROPICAL LATER TODAY OR DISSIPATE JUST BEFORE IT MERGES WITH A
FRONT THAT IS CURRENTLY LOCATED ABOUT 200 N MI TO ITS WEST.

CONVENTIONAL SATELLITE AND MICROWAVE DATA INDICATE THAT KIRK HAS
BEEN MOVING A LITTLE TO THE LEFT OF THE PREVIOUS TRACK...WITH THE
LATEST INITIAL MOTION ESTIMATE BEING A VERY FAST 035/32. AN EVEN
FASTER NORTHEASTWARD MOTION IS FORECAST UNTIL THE CYCLONE BECOMES
ABSORBED BY THE FRONT TONIGHT OR EARLY MONDAY.

THE 34-KT WIND RADII WERE MODIFIED BASED ON THE AFOREMENTIONED ASCAT
PASS.

FORECAST POSITIONS AND MAX WINDS

INIT 02/1500Z 46.2N 36.5W 45 KT 50 MPH
12H 03/0000Z 51.1N 30.1W 45 KT 50 MPH...POST-TROPICAL
24H 03/1200Z...DISSIPATED

$$
FORECASTER CANGIALOSI

NNNN
