Here is a link to the "Obameter" , which keeps track of all of the promises President Obama made on the campaign trail. There are about 500 promises, each with a description or direct quote. The promises can either be No Action, In the Works or Stalled. Once action is taken, it informs you whether the promise was kept, compromised or broken. So far in the first few days of his presidency, Obama has kept five promises, including directing military leaders to end the war in Iraq and appointing a Republican to his cabinet. I think this is a great way to keep tabs on the new president, and I feel like he has already been doing a good job at keeping his promises.
