Blatantly ripping off of another blog here but apparently:
PolitiFact.com has diligently kept track of what this president has done and not done. By their count Obama has currently kept 121 promises. He’s compromised on 39 and broken 22. Currently, 81 are stalled, and 240 are in the works. According to their calculations he’s kept way over five times more promises than he’s broken.
Usually I'd say that 22 broken promises are 22 too many. But in the case of a presidency, I'm not going to expect some one to realistically keep 100% of his promises. Despite what we think, presidents are not all-powerful-omnipotent beings who are not constrained by political, cultural, and environmental factors. Like everyone else, they do what they can with what they can.
