OK, lots of text, but that wasn't the question. Your statement was that Obama broke more promises that any president in your lifetime. You were pretty clear on that. I just asked what statistics you used to arrive at that conclusion.

I provided a link that represents a newspaper with a Pullitzer prize. They also appear to be somewhat open minded, but that is just an opinion on my part. They are continuing to track the promises, classified by kept, broken, in process, or stalled. They even track the top 25, which addresses your issue of the weighting of the various promises. I like the category called compromise, where a portion of the promise was kept in exchange for the support of other parties. Conversely, you gave me a website called hotair.com (your first link). It is also primarily outdated hot air, not current, as it isn't up to date. How can you focus only on statistics from last year? You then listed a bunch of things that you feel are broken promises.

All that is fine, but let's get back to the question. If you are going to declare that he broke more promises than any other president, presumably you have some data to back up that position. You haven't listed any complete statistics for even Obama, let alone all the other presidents in your lifetime. How is his kept/broken record? How does it compare to all those other presidents in your lifetime?
