1. I think We're Getting Change We Can Believe In at least 50% of the time
and at twice the rate of Bozo Bush's bad changes when he moved in and took over. Of course, Obama will HAVE to change a lot of things very fast, because the Bushbots were very busy little beavers for 8 years.

3. You've wrapped the tallies so they show adjacent to the NEXT status.
Note that the tally of "Promise Kept" is 5 .... and that "5" is shown preceding the next status ("Compromise") and therefore is misleading. (That site is also of questionable veracity, imho.)

The Obameter Scorecard
* Promise Kept 5
* Compromise 1
* Promise Broken 0
* Stalled 1
* In the Works 14
* No Action 488
