The folks at Propublica made this nifty Obama Promise Clock.
"While some candidates on the presidential campaign trail treat paint (sic) promises in glittering generalities, President Obama was often quite specific about what policies he’d implement as president, with exhaustive lists of promised policy plans [1] on his much-ballyhooed website.
As part of our ongoing “Promises Clock” feature, we’ve chosen five of these promises to keep an eye on.
We’re building our list off of the exhaustive work done by Politifact’s Obameter [2]. (500-plus promises, and counting!) The five we’ve chosen to highlight are all doable by presidential order, meaning the new administration can’t hide behind the workings of Congress. We're starting each clock on January 20, 2009 at 12 noon, the date and time of Obama's inauguration."
Click through to see their faves or to ask them to start a clock of YOUR favorite!
(Um, is it too soon to ask him to do something? Too rude? When do you think is a good time to bother him?)
