"Can you follow through?"

This story happened a few weeks ago. It was reported that President Obama asked Prime Minister Hatoyama, "Can you follow through(on your promise?)"
Here is the article:

Do you understand this meaning?
Here are some example sentences:
1. He always follows through on what he says.
2. The Prime Minister didn't follow through on his campaign pledge.

To change the subject, over GW(Golden Week) I am thinking about visiting the Big Buddha in Nara. I haven't seen him in a while and I would like to discuss a fw things with him.

Hope everyone has a great vacation!!
