Interesting chart but of course not all promises are equal. It would be interesting to compare it to past presidents as well.
Lets take a look at what he has done in real terms.
Notable Promises kept.
Send 2 brigades to Asscrackistan.
VA budget is now Must Pass legislation
Make military aid to Pakistan results based
Extend unemployment and suspend taxes on them
I lost count at about 25 more govt agencies and positions.
I didnt bother trying to count all of the govt expansion programs. I did count 6 just on page 1.
There are also quite a few BS promises kept on there, such as getting his daughters a puppy.
Now look at the promises he broke. You will notice that nearly all of them were his major campaigning points.
CSPAN was barred from healthcare debates and negotiations.
Ending Income taxes for seniors making less than 50k
End no-bid contracts over 25k
Allow 5 days for public comment before signing bills.
Tougher rules for lobbists.
reduce earmarks to 1994 levels.
As you can see, while be has made and kept a lot of promises, the weight of those promises arent equal.
i think he has broken just about every campaign promise he made so far, escept spending more money on useless BS!!!!

Has anyone actually looked at the list, one promise on the list that he kept was to get his daughters a dog and another was to give a speech at a major islamic forum in the first 100 days. While not everything on the list was that insignificant, this website is a joke and should not be taken seriously.
No, but what president did?
It’s just the good ol’ boy in me
I got my friends I got the recipe
For one hell of a life
I got my girl got my family
Got my booze and that’s all I need
For a hell of a time
HELLYEAH!
I guess I should have been more specific, what wanted to say was that the "Obameter" is a joke. I will admit that I have not looked at the rest of the site and therefore would not try to make a general assessment of the reliability of the site as a whole. However, in their attempt to quantify the effectiveness of the President, I believe they have overstated the effectiveness of the President by including things that were insignificant or completely irrelevant to the job.
