Promises, promises: Obama’s 60% tally too high?

Watchdog finds much more ‘to do’

[b]President Obama has taken to claiming at recent political rallies and fundraisers that he has fulfilled 60 percent of his campaign promises from 2008, but the scorecard of an independent arbiter suggests that Mr. Obama is grading himself on a generous curve.

The watchdog organization PolitiFact.com, which evaluates the veracity of politicians’ statements, has tracked 506 specific promises Mr. Obama made during his victorious presidential campaign three years ago and concluded that he has fulfilled 151, or 30 percent.

"Golly Gee! Wally, he's only 60% through his list of things to do to bring down America!"

I don't think we can survive the other 40%
