 Well, we all know our new president Barack Obama made a lot of statements about what he wants to do for his country. Little did we know that the folks at PolitiFact.com were tracking it, and they have compiled over 500 so far.  And I must say, so far so good!  Really they refer to it as the Truth-o-meter (I like my name better however).  He has already officially kept 5 promises and has 17 in the works.  One promise is chalked up to a compromise (on lobbyist reform) and so far, none have been broken.  Not too bad for the first week in office  Here is a link to the RSS feed for these updates.I must mention I have a slight case of what they call Obama-mania, or Obamania.  Yes, I think our president has really been putting in a serious effort to change American politics.  If you haven’t checked out the White House’s website since the transfer of power last week, I highly reccomend you do.  What you will find is simply refreshing, complete with a blog and weekley video update from The Prez himself.  I am impressed by the openness and honesty of the new administration, so far.  His new stimulus plan for our faltering economy is intereseting however, and I will be keeping a close eye to see how this all plans out.   For now, kudos to our new President, Barack Obama!
