our new president has only been in office for less than a week now, but while campaigning, Obama made a total of 510 PROMISES to the American people.
he's just getting started, so so far he's kept 7 of those promises, 1 is stalled, and 14 are supposedly in the works.
here's a pretty cool link a friend of mine sent me that is tracking all 510 of his promises:

Wow, I emailed them this afternoon and they just emailed me to let me know they've updated the entry. I'm impressed with their eagerness to post all the facts.
Check it out.

I hope that a large number of them will NOT be kept! So my prediction is 73 of the 510. Now we only have to wait 4 years to see!

Considering that he is such a liberal, I would prefer he did not keep all of those promises.

Hey sconi! It is way too early to tell! I think that he is going
to do a great job! I think that he probably has kept more promises
in his first week in office then some presidents have kept in
most of their term (like dummy X-president Bush)! It would not
be in the least bit fair to judge him and I refuse to do this
at this time! Give President Obama a fair chance! I do feel that
he is going to really try to keep as many of his promises as he
can! He seems to have hit the ground running! Let's just wait
a bit!

hi Opal, i'm not judging, i actually don't have an opinion either way, i just put the link out there if anybody wants to use it as a tool to track what's being done.
i received it from a friend in my email and i thought it was a pretty neat site, so i just thought i'd share it.

Thanks for the link! I bookmarked this one, so I can refer to it often to see if Obama ends up being a great president or an epic failure. As for me, I agree with another poster in hoping that most of his promises do not come to light. I disagree with most of his views, beliefs and thoughts. I guess we will see!
