Watching Obama
Now that all the fun and games of inauguration are over, it's time for Barack Obama and his administration to get to work.
Nearly as soon as he was sworn in, the White House website got a remaking. It's structure looks a lot more navigable than the President Bush's website. The biggest question I have right at the moment is how quickly things will be put online, but the Obama online crew seems to move with a fair bit of alacrity.
For those who want to keep up with the campaign promises Obama keeps or breaks (yes, I expect both) the Politifact website has a new feature for you. During the campaign, it tested the truthfulness of campaign ads and claims.
Now, the post-election version (click here) is tracking progress on Obama's campaign promises. Some of you might prefer this version.
For those too lazy to click over, as of this post they have him pegged at two promises kept, one stalled, 12 in the works and 495 with no action.
