Was this originally supposed to be a "Yay, Obama" site?
"Proposed a three year freeze on domestic spending, exempting cuts from the Pentagon and Homeland Security"
"Argued that the widespread use of Predator drones is a justifiable form of self-defense"
"Successfully prosecuted child soldier Omar Khadr using evidence obtained through torture"
"Cut a secret deal to kill the public option, while campaigning on its behalf"

Haha A friend posted this on Facebook. It's awesome.

It's kind of hard to understand. The person is anti-Obama, but then posts really huge things, followed by "so what" or "big deal". It confuses me because does the person support these actions, but doesn't feel like they are enough?

I would say the What in the fork site is more pro-civil liberties and transparency than anti-Obama. That's where most of the criticisms are coming from. It's not saying "OBAMA IS A MUSLIM SOCIALIST!!!"

The Obama administration argued Monday that the White House should have unreviewable authority to target and assassinate American citizens anywhere in the world if they pose a threat to the United States. The argument was made in federal court in response to a lawsuit filed by the American Civil Liberties Union and the Center for Constitutional Rights. The groups are representing Nasser al-Awlaki, who brought a lawsuit in connection with the government’s decision to authorize the targeted killing of his son, Anwar al-Awlaki, a U.S.-born Muslim cleric now living in Yemen. Jameel Jaffer of the ACLU said, "If the Constitution means anything, it surely means that the president does not have unreviewable authority to summarily execute any American whom he concludes is an enemy of the state."
