the obameter

It's awesome when the internet does all the work for you. Now, you don't need to do any remembering, or any research to know if Obama is screwing with you: The good people at PolitiFact are doing it all for you with the Obameter.

I'm going to assume that it is impossible for all 500+ promises to be kept. But we'll see.
