So, on the heels of a nearly flawless jobs report, I thought I’d finally give in and make a list of a few things Republicans can blame on President Obama:

Job losses were cut by more than 50% within his first 4 months in office.
He saved the American auto industry.
Has cut our deficits by more than half.
Killed Osama bin Ladin.
Got Syria to give up their chemical weapons without firing a single shot.
Presided over record breaking stock levels (with the Dow just recently closing over 17,000 for the first time in its 118-year history).
Reduced unemployment from 10% to 6.1%.
We just saw the fastest first quarter of job growth in the United States since 1999.
The quickest drop in unemployment in 30 years.
52 straight months of private sector job growth.
9.7 million private sector jobs created.
Over 8 million people signed up for health care thanks to the Affordable Care Act.
Millions of Americans have gained, or kept, health care coverage thanks to Medicaid expansions and being able to stay on their parents’ insurance longer.
He hasn’t started a single war.
Hasn’t tried to confiscate a single gun.

Today, I heard a story on NPR about automatic news reporting that scans alerts from national weather and geological agencies and automatically posts them to their news stream.

That’s new but to what else could be applied to this?
– SCADA systems monitoring critical facilities like electrical, water or physical security.
– Gunshot sensors in public areas?
– Video cameras at intersections which detect crashes? Also, monitors emergency radio channels and posts text translations to the news report?
– Website availability monitoring software that reports that “Facebook went down today” or “White House.gov is offline”

Pretty much any networked computer with monitoring capability can be used to generate news feed.

Interesting eh?
