(1,374 posts)3. These promises?
http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/promises/obameter/
37% kept
14% compromise
16% broken
10% stalled
22% in the works
Not a bad record for promises from a President IMHO.
73% are either kept, compromise or in the works.
Only 26% are broken or stalled.
Of course, PolitiFact isn't always reliable but they have a lot more credibility than Rmoney.
