The Truth About Obama is…He keeps promises?

It is certainly possible that a rational thinking persona would have problems with the activities and policies of President Obama’s administration.  If philosophically one is a staunch physical conservative, for example.  If one were to have genuine political differences with every aspect of an administration’s policy, one is entitled to say so and to organize political action appropriately.  Such is what is expected in a democracy.  There was about a 75% chance that I would disagree with any policy of he Bush administration. But recently I’ve been struck by the intensity of the backlash against any policy advocated by the Obama administration as well as the intensity of the negative feelings people have about him, feelings are backed up by very specific allegations, but not specific evidence.  In other words, the people who feel such antipathy toward Obama do so because they know that he is godless, a liar, a socialist a a thief and possibly even a traitor.  But ether they can provide no specific details on anything or they repeat things that are repeated so often that it really doesn’t matter any more if they ay are true or not.
The truth is that Obama has a remarkably good record of making good campaign promises.  At least that is what the results of an ongoing evaluation by the Saint-Petersburg Times show.  You can consult the Obameter on Politifact.org, a site dedicated exclusively to fact checking claims made by public figures and agencies.

PolitiFact has compiled more than 500 promises that Barack Obama made during the campaign and is tracking their progress on our Obameter.

Politifact.org still has 158 promises to check, but of those they have evaluated so far, President Obama has only failed to fulfill 9 of them.  He’s kept 75 and compromised on 20.  The rest are stalled or in the works.  The legislative process is a slow one and folks simply don’t understand that.

  1. and I just want to add that when Obama talked about what he would do in foreign policy matters, those should not be seen as “promises.” He had no daily CIA briefing or real inside knowledge. He called them as he could see them (think Afghanistan). Changing reality on the ground and then further information should not be seen as causing him to break a “promise.” That has been the ball that Fox has run with.. and it is misleading.. at best. On other matters, like his statements about priorities (health care, stimulus, and cap and trade) I see Obama as remarkably consistent.. which is where the idea of promises might be useful, and how I think you are using it here..
