I could not agree more. What does that mean? Are there promises you did not mean to keep, Mr. President? That is the question that I think is quite clear. The President did not mean to keep his tax cut for the middle class because he never provided a plan to do that. He never meant to balance the budget. We had to bring him kicking and screaming all the way to the dance, so to speak, all the way to actually provide a plan finally, 3 years into his term, and, lastly, welfare reform today. It was not until the last moment, after he had already vetoed it twice, did he finally agree to sign welfare reform. So I think I know exactly what it meant. Say one thing when you run, do another thing when you get elected. That is not what this Republican Congress is all about.
