Polifact, a project of the St. Petersberg Times has up the Obameter, which is tracking 489 of his promises, to see if he keeps them.

PolitiFact has compiled about 500 promises that Barack Obama made during the campaign and is tracking their progress on our Obameter. We rate their status as No Action, In the Works or Stalled. Once we find action is completed, we rate them Promise Kept, Compromise or Promise Broken.

So far on the kept side

No. 241: Require new hires to sign a form affirming their hiring was not due to political affiliation or contributions.
