It's been a rough week for progressives. The Massachusetts Senate race goes south, the Supreme Court shifts campaign-finance laws firmly in favor of continuing dollar-fueled oligarchy, Air America goes dark. So if you're like me, you may be looking for something to brighten your day, something that might remind you of our overall progress on the work we've undertaken before and after Election Day 2008.
So, courtesy of the St. Petersburg Times, comes 'The Obameter,' an online feature that's tracking President Obama's progress on his campaign promises.
So according to The Obameter, how's he doing? Very well, as it turns out. By their count, so far President Obama has kept 91 promises so far, with another 275 in the works. By any standard, that's a good count.
Want to see for yourself? Visit the Obameter at http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/promises/. Or, look on the upper-right corner of this Action Blog... we've added it to this website as an automatic feed.
| Our next meeting: MONDAY, Feb. 13, 2012; Time 7 pm; UC Center, 550 E. Shaw, across from Fashion Fair Shopping Center. See meeting details below. |
