The only true issue quantified here is "a daily measure of how the Obama
administration is changing Washington". This administration is not changing
Washington. Does this statement qualify as a "salient point"?

A failure to find "salient" issues on this page speaks to one's
inattentiveness. This inability to filter rhetorical noise at once shields
Obama's vagaries from "salient" criticisms and partially explains
the myopic devotion of sycophants.

Not a single point on this board is salient.

Log off. Go for a hike. Spend time with your kids. Read a book. Grow some
plants.

google search obama's promises and check out how he's done so far in
the white house. It kinda reflects the change o meter thing

Beluga you may be "a tortured soul" but assuredly your prose is
tellingly pompous; verily "pecksniffian". The vox populous trivial or
otherwise is the grist for the mill that is Obama's cult of personality.
When comes the Change
April 23, 2009
Another former supporter utterly disgusted. I am not a pawn nor a blind
follower. Obama is a liar and betrayer of what was legitamate faith. Situation
"normal". Too bad.

So few promises kept, so many substantive shortfalls, so many incompetentcies,
perpetrated by this admin. in such a short period of time. This, One may
discern, is part of a strategy. Obama's slight of hand has this Democrat
disenchanted and regretful.

With respect JPot, It is you who "bleat" when you offer petty, more
than subjective grammatical criticisms in place of rational discussion. Do you,
in fact, have something to say or are you just glad to share your "word of
the day" with the rest of us?

Great White Wailer seeks the rare commentator capable of checking their
vituperation and focusing on the qualities of any issues which renders it
politically significant. The vox populus free of trivial polemics. I am a
tortured soul.

fisticuffs would do well to proofread his writing before bleating on about
things like "ignorance" and "naivete", especially since he
doesn't seem to know the proper use of an apostrophe.

"the Republicans 'ruin[ed]' our country" is a FALSE, tired
liberal mantra.It's espousers,are, at best,naive and,at least, ignorant.
The validity of any argument using this dribble as it's premise is
automatically discredited by any reasonable persons.

If by "doing exactly what our nation needs" includes forsaking the
Constitution, bankrupting us, dismantling our anti terror capabilities,
projecting weakness to our enemies then you my simple friend are exactly right.

...after it took 8 years for the republicans to ruin our country... I am
over-joyed that Our President is doing exactly what our nation needs... God
bless America; ...now if only the sore 'losers' would only wise-up and
face reality.

I hope he could stick to his promises, and I am sure this will not be an easy
task. It would certainly need more honesty and dedication from his staff.

In the left's alternate reality, where double standards are the standard,
Conservatives are fair game but woes be to the one who points out the glaring
hypocrisy and inconsistencies of Obama's sacred cow or, more appropriately,
"pig".

What I find "sad" are people who can't effectively articulate and
defend their viewpoints and so resort to labeling anyone critical of their
people or policies "haters".

What I find "sad" are people trying to be taken seriously using the
term "hater".

Danny is absolutely right "Change" should be on the Left, far to the
Left and the "Change we can believe in less and less" meter would be
very apropos.

I can't stand typos; "held ards" are "held cards".
Thanks.

The downplayed deployment of 17,000 troops to Afghanistan,more transparency?
Bush/Cheney held ards close to their chests in the interest of National Security
over an 8 year period. What's Baraks excuse? "Opaque" is a more
accurate description to be sure.
johnnysakko
February 21, 2009
Transparency thus far: The promised 5 day (on line) period to review all
impending legislation - Lies. The then "revised to" 48 hour review
period we were then re promised on all impending legislation (including the
trillion dollar spending bill) - Lies.

He's been in office a month, folks. And in comparison to Cheney/ Bush,
he's been much more transparent.

February 18, 2009
How about a running total of campaign rhetoric, and "promises" that
were immediately and are continually broken on a daily basis. Let us examine the
incredibly opaque nature of this "transparent" president.

Can we add a "Change We Can Believe In Less And Less" addition to the

By the way, Obama's party IS Congress (essentially). They are inseparable
conspirators and will drag this Country down together.

"fantasically" ? It isn't any wonder this commentator thinks
"BO" is doing well. Also, I'd rethink using "BO" to
refer to Obama.
Obama Naught
February 12, 2009
Obama will spiral this country into socialism and it will take our third Great
Revolution to free us from the chains he will bring. Impeach him now or become
imperiled!

This whole stimulus and change is just a smoke screen to fool the public into
thinking the govenmenthas their best interest in mind. .

Agree with Adie. I can't even figure out the scale: 1 to N??


Alternatives a) car speedometer (semicircle) with color gradations.Whitehouse on
a needle


b) Like a digital amp.'s volume bars with color gradations. Whitehouse on a
needle on the side

We debated which side the Change should be on. While the left would make more
sense in terms of political ordinals, we felt it made more intuitive sense for a
scale to progress from left to right. But I can see arguments both ways.

What does the number mean? Pardon my uninformed status, just being painfully
honest.

Shouldn't the "Change" be over on the left side?
