Post Change on signing statements Obama style

That was then and this is now.

Quote:
On another potentially controversial matter, the president also issued a "signing statement" with the bill, saying several of its provisions raised constitutional concerns and would be taken merely as suggestions

Yeah, it's like the "no earmarks" and "line by line" statements. This guy lies. That is exactly what I expected from him. We should think up a new nickname, something like "Hussein Earmark Obama" or Barack "line by line" Hussein.

In the 51 days this guy has been in office, he's established himself as the biggest spending president in history and a profligate liar.

Obama is nothing but a typical Liberal Democrat. They think it's alright to lie, because they think the citizens of this country are so damn blind and stupid, that they won't notice, or care. Look at Bill Clinton, he lied about something, practically everytime he opened his mouth. Remember when he lied to the nation about Monica....."I did not have sex with that woman", then about a week later, he confessed that there had been an "inappropriate relationship". The Liberals in the press, and Clinton supporters, tried hard to convince the American people that it was okay to lie about sex. Everyone does it, they kept reminding us. I honestly think that the first qualification for a Democrat polititian, is to be a good liar. They all do it. Look at how many times Obama lied about the Rev Wright episode. A Republican presidential candidate would have been so chastised by the press, not to mention his own party, that he would have been forced to drop out of the race. But not Obama, because the press and the Democrat Party, simply does not care if one of theirs lies. It's considered the norm, and is therefore accepted behavior, and is rubber stamped every time they do it.

The ease with which these guys get by with lying is one of the clear indicators of a dysfunctional press. At worst, the press concedes their lies when forced by a general consensus. Never does the mainstream press look a politician in the eye and tell them they are a liar. One or two of those to a democrat and maybe things might start to change. It won't happen.
