Despite Obama's Lofty Words, Scientific Integrity Rules Are Lagging
Saturday, July 10, 2010
Actually, he's made hundreds of promises and kept only a handful.
Politifact only recognizes 19 broken promises & cuts Obama much slack.
Politifact has gamed its way of measuring Obama's "promise-keeping"; its categories ('NO ACTION', 'IN THE WORKS', 'STALLED' or 'NOT YET RATED) are misleading. Many a campaign promise or pledge (hundreds of them) has been generously placed in these categories to languish.
As Politifact claims, "Once we find action is completed, we rate them 'PROMISE KEPT' 'COMPROMISE' or 'PROMISE BROKEN'". By Politifact's own definition, it enables Obama to keep these issues in limbo for 4 years.
