Commentary: Our mission remains the same

(CNN) -- Campaigning is one thing; actually running the country is quite another.

Here on our show, we have tried during this campaign to do just what we promise: Cut through the bull. Give you an honest assessment of where these candidates stand, call them out when we think they are not being entirely truthful or not living up to their promises.

With the campaign now over, our mission hasn't changed. We will be trying to hold President-elect [Barack] Obama accountable in the very same way we tried to hold candidate Obama and candidate [John] McCain accountable.

During the campaign, President-elect Obama laid out a pretty aggressive agenda. He promised middle-class tax cuts, an all-inclusive approach to energy independence, near-universal health care coverage, a responsible end to the war in Iraq and no more partisan politics.

We wish him the very best of luck with his agenda and with all the challenges that lie ahead.

But we will also be keeping track of his campaign promises and how well he follows through ... during this transition to power, during his first 100 days and beyond.

No bias, no bull.
