This comprehensive roundup of President Obama's campaign promises is an excellent resource for citizens of all political stripes. This guide looks at the facts alone, free of partisanship, on some 500 issues ranging from modernizing the air traffic system to farm subsidies to getting the Obama children a dog. Highly recommended -- the Obameter is a feature I'll be checking frequently.
