I encourage everyone to check out http://politifact.com/truth-o-meter/
It's a site that is tracking President Obama's performance against 510 promises that they have identified that he made since beginning his campaign for the Presidency.
The current count is:
Promises Kept: 9
Promises Broken: 2
Compromises: 3
Stalled:0
In the works:21
Not Started: 475
Whatever you think of our President, he asked to be held accountable to his promises and that is what this site does.
It also confirms or debunks many of the statements being made by people on both sides of the aisle.
If you hear some claims, good or bad, about the President and his efforts, this is a great place to check (along with Snopes.com and FactCheck.org) to find if the claims are true or not.
Enjoy
