“regardless of the rhetoric that is bandied about on this floor, it would be nice if everyone here learned a simple lesson when they came to the well of the House. The lesson may not be taught that often in school; it should be taught at home to tell the truth. Now, Mr. Speaker, since the debate centers around numbers, here are some important numbers our colleagues should remember: Number of days since the last U.S.- U.N. inspection for weapons of mass destruction in Iraq: 71. Number of days since the last fundraiser featuring the President: 2. Number of meaningful educational initiatives passed by this common sense conservative Congress, vetoed by the President of the United States: 7. Number of Cabinet meetings held in the White House by the President of the United States this year: 2, focusing on his personal problems. Mr. Speaker, we need not fall for the lure of focus groups. We need to join sincerely to solve problems and not leave education up to the Washington bureaucrats. Remember these numbers as the days continue.”
