"Also, the math seems very Fox Network. The only way to look at this list and come up with Obama keeping "the bulk of his promises" is if you count the "in the works" and "not yet rated" columns as "kept promises." The experience of the last year would indicate that's an unwise assumption. "
Those are stats from a non-partisan, Pulitzer-winning site.
That he has kept 72 promises and only broken 9 and compromised on 18 is indeed a bulk of promises kept on those issues that have reached completion.
That he is working on a great bulk of them in his first year is pretty impressive. And, again, he made hundreds of more promises than Bush and Clinton.
I realize all of you are disappointed in him. He's certainly disappointed me on certain things, including his wussing out on healthcare. But, he's done more for gays than any President. He's doing what he said he would do about Afghanistan. He's passing SOME kind of healthcare reform where a hundred years of Presidents weren't able to touch. (And the flaws in this bill can be fixed once the chicken littles see the sky won't fall if we try to help our citizens). And, judging from that list, he IS "doing" despite how the media, whether 24-hour corporate news or blogs are telling the story.
And, I think some perspective would be good for us: He's got 3 more years to do even more. Be angry at him and push him to honor his promises--I absolutely agree.
