Every President wants to do right.

There are limits on what a president can achieve or do, but the expectations are so great.

When a president promises something beyond his years in office, he is fundamentally unaccountable. It is not his budget that must finish the job. Another president inherits the problem, and it becomes a ball too easily dropped, a plan too easily abandoned, a dream too readily deferred.

One of those promises was to limit the size of government and to have the government serve the people - and not the other way around.

All presidents swear an oath to the Constitution to keep this country united, and when the country fell apart, Lincoln had to put it back together again, with a lot of help. But he bore total responsibility.

Presidents make their hard decisions and then abide forever with their mistakes and regrets.

Real Democrats don't make promises they can't keep.

A promise made should be a promise kept.

I try to keep my promises.
