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.

Scenes from today's MLK Day march
More than a dozen V4CF members braved the (forecast) rain and wind to participate in Fresno's Martin Luther King Jr. Day Parade, held Jan. 18 in downtown Fresno.
As V4CF marcher Nancy Griesser reported, "We had a great time at the parade! Several who signed up didn't attend but others did so we had a fine complement of V4CF members on board. And, luckily for us, the rain held off."
Here's how it looked, with photos courtesy of Kris Arden and Nancy Griesser. Thanks to all who participated!
