I would say, even if the majority of the "promises" he is working on are smaller scale, the sheer fact that he has started (or finished) the process of working on so many is a good sign of progress, even if only slow and steady...

Sorry man, even if he has only broken six as you say, hes maintained some of the worst ones... like the suspension of haebeus corpus. This is the one thing that really made the past administration stand from others, from guantanamo to abu graib, the infringement of others rights under the guise of "national security" when we could keep our country safe without having to suspend their rights. This is harking back to mccarthyism and the red scare, and I'll say that it makes the US seem hippiocritical of its stance on freedom, one thing that shouldn't be done is being schizophrenic about our stance on freedom.
