Once again, Barack Obama acts just like George W. Bush -- and adopts a policy he and his surrogates criticized during the 2008 campaign.

President Obama signed the $106 billion war-spending bill into law Friday, but not without taking a page from his predecessor and ignoring a few elements in legislation.

Obama included a five-paragraph signing statement with the bill, including a final paragraph that outlined his objections to at least four areas of the bill.

The Obama administration announced in the statement it would disregard provisions of the legislation that, among other things, would compel the Obama administration to pressure the World Bank to strengthen labor and environmental standards and require the Treasury department to report to Congress on the activities of the World Bank and International Monetary Fund (IMF).

"Provisions of this bill…would interfere with my constitutional authority to conduct foreign relations by directing the Executive to take certain positions in negotiations or discussions with international organizations and foreign governments, or by requiring consultation with the Congress prior to such negotiations or discussions," Obama said in a statement.

"I will not treat these provisions as limiting my ability to engage in foreign diplomacy or negotiations," he added.

Come on Democrats -- show America what you are made of. Either concede that your objection to signing statements was based entirely upon hypocritical partisanship -- or demand that institute impeachment proceedings against Barack Obama, just like so many of you said should be done with Bush over his signing statements.

And just a reminder -- here's Barack Obama on signing statements during the campaign. He claimed that the very course of action he has now engaged in violates the Constitution.

Based upon this, it is clear that Barack Obama is knowingly violating the Constitution -- clearly falling within the definition of "high crimes and misdemeanors" that constitute the basis for impeachment and removal from office.
