Trust is the only reason I choose PolitiFact to read from the 1000's of sources of information and opinion. During the campaigns, I found PolitiFact and used it as my go-to website for concisely formatted reports based on depth and objectivity of research of candidates' words and actions.

Obama's promises kept in the first 100 days of his presidency: my personal views on this topic are simply that he is well on his way to becoming a great president although I don't agree with everything he has done or choices he has made. However, keeping his promises is making his job very hard, e.g. holding his appointees to strict ethical and moral standards. With some of the people he was counting on to hold key positions in his administration not passing the tests, the vetting process has become a big obstacle for completing his staff appointments. With the severe global economic, environmental, foreign policy and domestic problems he has inherited, he needs to be surrounded by the best experts to depend on to make decisions and lead this country to credibility as a nation that seeks peaceful solutions to international conflicts.
