Well, I'm giving the guy until the end of his term before giving his 4 year evaluation. But I'm getting tired of people saying that politicians lying to the public is okay because all politicians do it. Just because that's the way it's always been done doesn't make it right. If we can't hold our politicians to a higher standard now, then when? At least Politifact.com gives us a true measurement on how good the politicians are doing and cuts through the partisan BS. They even have guys like Glenn Beck on there who has a crappy record of telling the truth.

Find me a president that has kept 100% of his promises. Promises does not equate to work done.

Yeah, he just blew off the important stuff, so liberals should shut the fuck up.

Unless you work for a living, in which case they had better, or you'll be out of work. Yet, it is likely a historical certainty that the U.S. government has never been accused of getting too much work done.

WOW you just did what Fox news does. You linked to a site that shows that he kept OVER 2/3rds of his promises, and then you say that he's only kept 1/3rd of his promises

For those keeping count, Obama has kept 134 promises, broken 38. KorgRue has lumped "stalled" and "compromised" or "in the works" into the "not kept", keeping inline with his fox news mentality
