Keep track of Obama's campaign promises - very cool website
PolitiFact has compiled about 500 promises that Barack Obama made during the campaign and is tracking their progress on our Obameter. We rate their status as No Action, In the Works or Stalled. Once we find action is completed, we rate them Promise Kept, Compromise or Promise Broken.

http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/promises/

His score so far is 6 promises kept, 14 in the works, and 1 stalled. :)

2. A bit disappointing.
6 kept out of a total of 510? That's only a 1.18% success rate.

4. And he's been President for 2 days out of 1,460.
Did you expect that he was going to get it all done in one day?

If so, I have a small bridge in Brooklyn I'd like to sell you.

He may have a "1.18% success rate", but you have TOTAL FAIL.

Congrats.

5. Thank you for being a fool.
It was a joke. A joke that was obviously lost on you. Think it through and when you figure it out, get back to me.

9. there are far too many here
waiting to pounce because he didn't tackle their thing of choice on day one. what once would have been obvious sarcasm is now less so because of that. but don't let that stop you from being an asshole.

13. Notice they did not keep up with Bush or his promises. No, this
is the first time they are doing this, and of course they are doing it with Obama.

I watched the director the other morning on Washington Journal and he is a right-winger. I guarantee it...
