LOL .. One of my measures on the words of Obama i posted here during the campaign, it went something like ..

dang, why make so many statements that could be interpreted as promises ..

why not say, 'i will do my best' .. 'i will strive for' .. 'i will fight tooth and nail for' .. eg a public option
.. to get out of the wars .. to create jobs, all ot it .. then i read that Americans like .. heh, absolutes ..

Quote: Measure pols like Obama on their words and hold them to high standards, but don't profess anger

....
especially during a campaign .. yes, Obama can be got at a number, as any ever presidential winner has been and ever will be ..

On balance i think the Obameter is legit ..

The Obameter Scorecard .. * Promise Kept 101 .. * Compromise 35 .. * Promise Broken 17 .. * Stalled 85 .
* In the Works 263 .. * Not yet rated 2 .. http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/promises/

Thanks for the post, mthead, i'll likely revisit it .. like the faces .. lol .. appreciate the effort and content, too ..
