Highlights of our analysis:
• Obama has made progress on nearly all 25 promises we selected as his most significant. Of our Top 25 list, two are rated Kept, three are Compromise, one is Stalled and one is Broken. The remaining 18 are In the Works, with some measurable progress.
• He got the low-hanging fruit. Many of the 90 promises rated Promise Kept are ones Obama could fulfill without Congress' approval, by issuing executive orders or directing executive agencies to launch initiatives.
• Several of his major legislative proposals have been delayed while Congress wrestled with the stimulus and health care reform. Our Stalled ratings include key proposals that Obama administration officials say they intend to tackle later: immigration reform, repealing the military "don't ask, don't tell" policy and repealing the Defense of Marriage Act.
• Obama fulfilled or made progress on two light-hearted promises in the Obameter database. He got his daughters a puppy and Congress has held hearings on creating a playoff system for college football.
