Here is a very useful link
http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/promises

It provides a fair and balanced look at President Obama's hundreds of "promises" and how he stands on them. I often find myself using it when I see posters claim Obama lied to us or didn't keep his promises. As to be expected some promises couldn't be kept but they are more than balanced by how many he has kept or is in the process of keeping.

1. Thanks for the link
I'll have to read it all later. Did I expect the President to be able to keep seventy five promises his first year in office? No, I didn't. I don't think this President is the "Messiah". I expected some promises wouldn't be kept. I still support the President and I say he's doing a good job. Look at what he's up against.

:thumbsup:

3. Seventy-Five Promises Kept
And 202 in progress is pretty good, and remember it's just the first year. Some will be completed next year, others in year three, and in 2012 he may be scrambling to complete the rest.

And remember some promises may never be kept because of the political climate doesn't allow Congress to go along, other factors may make it ill-advised to try keeping others.
