Just one more bit of hypocrisy out of the Obamabots, who a year ago labeled Bush’s use of signing statements to be a threat to our entire system of government.
President Barack Obama signed a $410 billion spending bill Wednesday that includes thousands of pet projects inserted by lawmakers, even as he unveiled new rules to restrict such so-called earmarks.At the same time, after Democrats criticized former President George W. Bush's signing statements, Mr. Obama issued one of his own, declaring five provisions in the spending bill to be unconstitutional and nonbinding, including one aimed at preventing punishment of whistleblowers.
Now three points here that are quite important:
1) This is a spending bill, and spending is a power granted explicitly to Congress, not the Executive. On what basis, therefore, can Obama claim the right to ignore the clearly expressed budgeting directives of Congress, as his new policies claim to do.
2) Is it fair to say now that Barack Obama has come out in favor of punishing whistleblowers, given his rejection of the provision to prohibit just that?
3) Why are signing statements right when done by Bush, but not when done by Obama?
And remember these quotes from the past.
In a 2007 letter to a constituent, Senator Obama said, "The President can veto a bill or sign it into law, but the Constitution does not grant him authority to determine when he can ignore those he signs."
In a 2007 interview, Senator Obama said, "it is a clear abuse of power to use such statements as a license to evade laws that the president does not like", and "I will not use signing statements to nullify or undermine congressional instructions as enacted into law.
In a 2008 campaign event, when asked, "Do you promise not to use Presidential signage to get your way?", candidate Obama said "Yeah" and added that "We're not going to use signing statements as a way of doing an end-run around Congress."
I guess that just makes this "Change We Can Believe In".

Comments on Just Remember – Signing Statements Are Good Now That Obama Uses Them
Hi everyone
Compared Translations of the meaning of the Quran (6470 pages)
Why are so many Women converting to Islam ?
According to "The Almanac Book of Facts", the population increased 137% within the past decade, Christianity increased 46%, while Islam increased 235%.
In a recent poll in the (US), 100,000 people per year in America alone, are converting to Islam. For every 1 male convert to Islam, 4 females convert to Islam, Why?
It is Clear why Christians are converting.
1. Christian Scientists are declaring the Koran is from God. Visit Here for Christian and atheist Scientists who convert to Islam and why: Click here for more details
2. The Christian Bishops and Priests are admitting the Bible has tensions. Click here for more details
3. Jesus is a Muslim: Click here for more details
The question still remains, why are more women converting than men to Islam ?
Perhaps they realize their Soul is worth the Factual Research.
1. The Bible Convicts Women as the original
Sinners, (ie. Eve picking from the forbidden
tree)Genesis 2:4-3:24. The Koran Clarifies it
was Adam Not Eve Qur'an 7:19-25
2. The Bible says "The Birth of a Daughter is a
loss" Ecclesiasticus 22:3. The Qur'an says both
are an Equal Blessing Qur'an 42:49
3. The Bible Forbids Women from Speaking in
church I Corinthians 14:34-35. The Qur'an says
Women Can argue with the Prophet 58:1
4. In the Bible, divorced Women are Labeled as
an Adulteress, while men are not Matthew 5:31-32. The
Koran does Not have Biblical double standards
Qur'an 30:21
5. In The Bible, Widows and Sisters do Not
Inherit Any Property or Wealth, Only men
doNumbers 27:1-11The Koran Abolished this
male greediness Qur'an 4:22 and God Protects
All.
6. The Bible Allows Multiple WivesI Kings 11:3
In The Koran, God limits the number to 4 only
under certain situations (with the Wife's
permission)and Prefers you Marry Only One
Wife Qur'an 4:3 The Koran gives the Woman
the Right to Choose who to Marry.
7. "If a man happens to meet a virgin who is not
pledged to be married and rapes her and they are
discovered, he shall pay the girl's father fifty
shekels of silver. He must marry the girl, for he
has violated her. He can never divorce her as long
as he lives" Deuteronomy 22:28-30
One must ask a simple question here, who is
really punished, the man who raped the woman or
the woman who was raped? According to the
Bible, you have to spend the Rest of Your Life
with the man who Raped You.
The Prophet Muhammad Says Volume 9, Book
86, Number 101 Narrated by Aisha:" It is
essential to have the consent of a virgin (for the
marriage)".
Would the Christian men Reading this prefer the
Women they know to Be Christian or Muslim?
8. The Bible also asks Women to wear veils as in
Islam I Corinthians 11:3-10, this lowers the
chance of rape, (God Forbid), see statistic link
below.
9. Women were given rights to Vote less than a
100 years ago in the (US), while the Quran (42:38) gave
Women Voting rights almost 1,500 years ago.
10. Islam has unconfined Women and has given them
the human right to reach for the sky. There have been
Muslim Women Presidents through out the centuries,
but to this date, the oppressive mentality of the
men in the Western U.S.A. has stopped any Women from becoming
Presidents in predominately Christian countries,
while the Muslim countries have voted for and
elected Female Presidents.
Here is a list of previous Female Muslim leaders:
Ms. Afrah Alshaibani
Ms. Amal
Ms. C. Huda Dodge
Ms. Celine Leduc
Ms. Helena
Ms. Jewellee
Ms. Jihadah
Ms. Kaci Starbuck
Ms. Karima Razi
Mrs. Lara
Ms. Malaak
Ms. Michelle
Ms. Natassia M. Kelly
Ms. Penomee
Mrs. Shariffa Carlo
Ms. Sumaya Fannoun
Ms. Tena
Ms. Themise Cruz
