Informative overview by Pulitzer prize winner PolitiFact about their extensive research on over 500 campaign promises made by Barack Obama last year. This report summarizes their findings, based on in-depth fact-checking, and provides helpful context on this important topic, quoting credible sources such as the Brookings Institution and Stanford University.

I am impressed that Obama has so far kept 27 of those promises, with an additional 63 solidly in the works, while only six have been broken. Not bad at all, given the circumstances.
