This checklist by the Knight-Ridder news agency lists 178 campaign promises made four years ago by George W. Bush. Despite his party's control of Congress for most of that period, they estimate he has kept 46% of these promises. By contrast, Bill Clinton — though saddled with an opposition Congress — achieved about 66% of his campaign pledges. Obviously, these cannot be exact comparisons since some goals are harder to realize than others and since 9/11 did alter a lot of priorities in Washington. Still, I was surprised at how many of Bush's own proposals never made it through the House and Senate.
