               IT'S TIME FOR US TO TALK ABOUT HEALTH CARE

  (Mr. GOHMERT asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. GOHMERT. Mr. Speaker, I have got some news here. It says as of 
September 10, 11:23 a.m., reported by The Hill, Speaker Nancy Pelosi 
said, Democrats should cease efforts to sanction Representative Joe 
Wilson. It goes on to quote her and says, It's time for us to talk 
about health care, not Joe Wilson.
  But Democratic leaders, it goes on to say, were looking into what 
formal action the House might take against Wilson, and then, But Pelosi 
dismissed that idea as well as a call for Wilson to apologize on the 
floor.
  I am on to health care reform. I am not going to discuss Joe Wilson, 
she said. I think his actions spoke for itself. He has apologized. He 
will figure out what is appropriate for him to do.
  And I am really confused. What do you call it when somebody says 
something that they are going to do, and then they don't do it? What is 
that statement?
