Just to back up what the gentleman from California had to say, I know the gentleman has another quote right next to him: ``The President has kept all the promises he meant to keep.'' What does that mean? The American people deserve to know what that means. They deserve to know when the President makes a promise which promise he means and which promise he does not mean. I do not care if you are liberal, conservative, Republican, Democrat. Your words should have meaning. Your words should have, as the gentleman said, integrity behind them if you sit in any legislative body, particularly the Congress of the United States.
