    What an amazing piece of work. There is now an iron clad method by which to judge the 44th president of the United States.  It will be facinating to compare rhetoric and actual programs.

     

    Thank you,

    WOW.  Megadittos...Glenn Beck...  I am a programmer, and would be willing to offer some assistance should you want to follow magnus205’s suggestion.

    Mr. O. has been pretty good at publishing information, and then pulling it down as soon as it gets too much attention (he might be held accountable for it)...All of these speeches need to be converted to PDF with proper citing of source and time it was “archived.”

    Please do us a favor, though...Even though there is no function, Excel sees that there’s some macro code (as author you may/may not get the warning we get)...Delete the VB code attached to Sheet1 (CONTENTS) so no one freaks out that this is gonna blow up their system.

We will all pay close attention. Also want to point out the St.Petersburg Times’ “Obamater” at http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/promises/browse/    Good example of how local news media can save their sorry a***s ;-)

    Very Nice!
    Avatar

    I compiled a list in text format, and it was several hundred pages.  This works much better!  Very nice!

    For someone that ran on a mantra of “change”, a large portion of his promises were to simply not change a thing.  I haven’t run the numbers, but I am guessing he started off at 25-30% promise keeping, but I doubt it will last. 

    I do not remember any politician, in my lifetime, making so many promises.  Ideas or thoughts are one thing, a promise should be as solid as a an old fashion handshake.  We’ll see.

    Thanks!

    Thanks so much for what you’ve done.

    Todd,

    You have done a great job of collecting and referencing Obama’s promises, and I will be glad to help you in tracking these promises through this term.  Many of these promises are addressed in the current ‘Stimulus’ (Special Interest, Pork, Campaign Pay-Back) Bill.  I would prefer that he does break the majority of these promises.

    I have one word of caution.  Over the last year the Obama campaign ‘adjusted’ the information on their Official Campaign Website many times as the situation changed.  I hope you have copied and saved the pages in your reference links, to guard against these promises suddenly disappearing.

    Excellent work! 

    Thank you,

       Tim

    Avatar

    You are a great man Todd.It took a lot of courage to stand up and be proud like you did. We all need to stand up (including myself) and fight for our rights and Freedom, which we will soon lose if we don’t stand up and let our voices be heard. We all need to unite in the name of Freedom. Keep up your fight for Freedom Todd and if I can assist you in any way, please feel free to contact me.  Douglas

    Lets keep our govt accountable for all this garbage they are trying to pass.  I love this!  I agree with a previous post.  Please remove the macros from the file so people don’t freak out when they try to open it.  I realize there are no fuctioning macros on the file, but some people may be scared off.  I’ll try to remove the macros before I send it to all of my friends and family.  THANKS AGAIN, you are a GREAT American!

    John,

    Yes.  I don’t have any macros and I tried to scrub the visual basic files but I’m not sure it worked.  I had some very good technical help.  I’ll give it another shot.

    Incredible.  Nothing short of incredible.  Let’s help Todd by feeding him as much information as we can on what will surely be the longest list of broken promises a politician has ever made.  The mainstream media will never expose the audacity of deceit perpetrated by our first MTV-Affirmative Action-Stealth president.  Come 2010, a complete list of the kept and broken promises of a truly dangerous chief executive will be a handy tool to bring to the campaign.  It is only because of information like this spreadsheet can give us that we can limit the Messiah to one term.

    Broken Promises
    Avatar

    Under Ethics (Contracts):

    No political appointees in an Obama-Biden administration will be permitted to work on regulations or contracts directly and substantially related to their prior employer for two years. 

    Under Iraq War

    I will begin to remove our troops from Iraq immediately.

    I am also a Glenn Beck insider.  Thanks so much for the hard work you did for us.  I will be on the look out for broken promises to help you keep the speadsheet updated.  You should try to get on Sean Hannity, Michael Savage, Andrew Wilcow and Mike Church as well. I will be spreading the word about you site as much as I can.

    I can barely keep up with the mail from the 1.5 minutes on the radio.  Also, I’m letting things settle just a bit so I can work on the file.

    First Days catagory
    Avatar

    What do we count as First Days? I would suggest 100. He made soooooo many references to ‘one of the first things I’ll do is“ fill in the blank (ie: insert your change here)

    Where do we draw the line to say that he has failed to keep a promise when he put a vague timeline on it? I think 100 is more than generous.... Of course, BHO is being more than generous, but that’s with our money,  not his own....

    Dittos on the greatness of this work!

    Blocking the Message
    Avatar

    Heard Todd on GB a few days ago. Finally got time to check out his blog today. Lo and Behold, when I click on the PLAN FOR AMERICA link, I get connected to ORGANIZING FOR AMERICA- A website sponsored by the DNC. Clicking the PROMISE TRACKER link brings up a blank excel spreadsheet and eventually freezes my screen. KEEP PLUGGING, we can’t let the bad guys win.

    I’m going to update this monthly at the beginning of each month.  The Stimulus Plan may delay my next update a bit.  Or I could just mark KEPT under 95% of his campaign promises since unfortunately for America’s budget he kept them.
