"Remember, one of the big advantages of using “czars” is that they perform cabinet-type functions without being subjected to cabinet-type confirmation hearings. Which means, in this case, not only is he reserving his right to skirt congressional scrutiny of important appointees, he’s reserving his right to force Congress to pay for it by ignoring their own funding strictures. He’s been using signing statements for a long time now, but I’m not sure there’s ever been an example this egregious.
Here’s your must-watch video of the day, from the thick of the campaign in May 2008. I’m going to call it, “Just Words.” Man, that Sullivan post is going to be epic. Exit question: If Congress sends him a bill funding the mission in Libya but demanding that he seek authorization within 60 days, is there any reason at this point to think he wouldn’t issue a signing statement accepting the money but rejecting the authorization requirement?"
Notice one of the comments below the youtube video if you view at the youtube site.

You know what we need in this thread? A Stickied topic of broken promises and lies from this man. I know, I know...the worshipers of the anointed one will find pathetic way after pathetic way to inaccurately defend him but still....it needs to be at the forefront of the next election.
Just words, just speeches. We told you people then, and has been confirming it over the past two years. You got those silly tingles up your legs and between the fainting and the awing and the orgasms, you failed to look at this man for who he really is. Not a messiah, not the savior. An empty suit fraud.
Look at him so sure of himself and so confident and smooth when he says "Yeah". LOL I shouldnt laugh because we know there are buffoons who still stand by this man and will vote for him again so he can continue trying to transform this country but my word, this guy has lied how many times now? And he gets away with it. People see it and some just act like nothing happened. Were you high in 2008 and just dont remember or what?

You would have a lot more credibility if you could point to one of your post slamming Bush for his signing statements.

Look, this isnt about Bush. Watch the video and then let me know what you have to say about OBAMA. I dont care about Bush at this point. He is out. Now it seems, Bush III is in, at least if you look at EVERYTHING Bush did that liberals bitched about and that Obama continued.

It would be equally amusing to watch a scramble to produce the such same criticism of Bush's 33 so-called Czars.
Did folks just wake up from under a rock in January of 2009 to discover the war in Afghanistan, budget deficits, national debts, and executive office appointees?
$10 says Tempest either disappears or pulls the "But Bush did it too!" excuse.
Someone beat her to it. But Im sure we'll see it several more times. You see, this isnt even about Bush. This is about Obama. Bush has been gone for two years. O is in the WH now and well....now he has a record. And so far that record leads to blatantly breaking promises and lies.
For the record to Padcrasher.
I was in the Navy during the entire Bush tenure. I didnt pay much attention to politics then. Only toward the end of my service did I get involved, and im still not sure why.
Part of it had to do with how Bush was treated for the war. Now looking back, I disagreed with a lot of what Bush did and some of what he did do.
This man, everyone fainted over and fawned in 2008, has proven himself to be much of what he said he wasnt. We could post example after example of blatant lies. I mean, you read what he just signed, and then you see the video from WAAAAAAY back in 2008. And this isnt just the first time he's done it.

Exactly.
Your post is not about "signing statements"...it's about finding another thing to bash Obama about....this time it happens to be true.
If you cared about "signing statements" and how they are an abuse of Presidential power and are unconstitutional you would have said something about them under the Bush Administration.
As the most proudly, flaming Liberal here on these boards I will gladly refer you to multiple posts of mine slamming Obama for his illegal/unconstitutional assaults on the rule of law and civil liberties.
I have principles that go beyond your tribal cheerleading.
