> That's great.  Me too.  And for me, so far Obama has.

Obama has kept his promises?

So far I've already seen a couple that he's broken:
The "Sunlight before Signing rule" as outlined in
http://www.barackobama.com/issues/ethics/

According to Politico, "Obama signed the Lily Ledbetter Fair Pay Act
only two days after it received final passage last week, and it wasn't
posted on the White House website until after it became law." I think
he did something similar with the enhanced SCHIP bill.

Or maybe his statements about ending earmarks and reducing pork:
Shine Light on Earmarks and Pork Barrel Spending: Obama's Transparency
and Integrity in Earmarks Act will shed light on all earmarks by
disclosing the name of the legislator who asked for each earmark,
along with a written justification, 72 hours before they can be
approved by the full Senate.

Even the most liberal of folks agree that there is at LEAST 2% in the
"Stimulus" that falls under that clause.

Oh, I know!  The lobbyist restrictions:
"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."
Even though he removed himself from the nomination for tax reasons,
Tom Daschle, while not technically registered as a lobbyist, still
worked with healthcare organizations, "advising the firm's clients on
issues related to all aspects of public policy."  This is according to
http://www.time.com/time/politics/article/0,8599,1876550,00.html?imw=Y

I guess now we're going to have to argue about what the definition of
is is... Again.
