The Obamameter


PolitiFact has complied about 500 promises that Barack Obama made during the campaign and is tracking their progress on their Obamameter. They rate their status as No Action, In the Works or Stalled. Once we find action is completed, we rate them Promise Kept or Promise Broken. Here is one of their Obamameters:

No. 505: Create a $3,000 tax credit for companies that add jobs

The Promise:

 

"During 2009 and 2010, existing businesses will receive a $3,000 refundable tax credit for each additional full-time employee hired."

The Update:

 

Congress balks at $3,000 tax credit per worker
