Candidate Obama denouced the signing statements sometimes made by George W. Bush when he signed bills. Well, that was thien, this is now. Friday's Daily Caller posted an article about the signing statement made by President Obama as he signed the spending bill recently passed. The bill called for defunding four Presidential czars. The President has decided that he will "construe" the law not to interfere with "presidential prerogatives." What in the world does that mean?
The entire signing statement is posted at the Daily Caller. It says essentially that the President plans to ignore certain parts of the bill and work to overturn others. It doesn't sound like the spirit of compromise is alive and well in Washington.
