Obama to ignore 20 policy riders in omnibus funding bill

Obama in 2008 on Bush signing statements:


“That’s not part of his power, but this is part of the whole theory of George Bush that he can make laws as he goes along. I disagree with that. I taught the Constitution for 10 years. I believe in the Constitution and I will obey the Constitution of the United States. We’re not going to use signing statements as a way of doing an end-run around Congress,” then-Senator Obama said as a presidential candidate in 2008.

This is the Obama White House today on signing statements:

President Obama said Friday he will not be bound by at least 20 policy riders in the 2012 omnibus funding the government, including provisions pertaining to Guantanamo Bay and gun control.

After he signed the omnibus into law Friday, the White House released a concurrent signing statement saying Obama will object to portions of the legislation on constitutional grounds.

Signing statements are highly controversial, and their legality is disputed.

Obama's Czars Decimate Constitution

In 2007, Barack Obama RAILED against then-president Bush on his use of signing statements as an "end-run" around Congress.

Surprise, surprise, Obama is doing the SAME thing.

By now Obama has become well-known for completely reversing his positions. While campaigning, he said that Bush's use of signing statement was an effort "to accumulate more power in the presidency."


Oh, really?

Because now Obama has issued a signing statement declaring that he'll just ignore the provision in the recent 2011 budget about defunding 4 czar positions. He already has a record number of 39 czars that have broad-reaching powers, and do not need to be confirmed by the Senate. Having these czars allows Obama to control aspects of government through regulations, giving Congress NO CONTROL OVER THEM.

In just two years, Obama has appointed 39 czars to regulate a whole host of agendas. Some of his more ridiculous czars include:
◦AIDS Czar
◦California Water Czar
◦Climate Czar
◦Domestic Violence Czar
◦Faith-based Czar
◦Great Lakes Czar
◦Guantanamo Closure Czar

In each case, there is a federal agency already dedicated to the issue. THERE IS NO NEED FOR THESE CZARS. They are a waste of taxpayer dollars. Obama just wants to ensure that his liberal agenda is implemented---NO MATTER WHAT.

Obama is forcing his socialist agenda on the United States by going around Congress. Please CLICK HERE to tell Congress that you do NOT approve of Obama's signing statements OR his czars. He already has 39 czars which answer to no one and control aspects of government already covered by other agencies which DO answer to Congress. This is just another way for Obama to continue his radical, liberal agenda even after the American people told him to stop on November 2nd. We need to send this man the message that we are FED UP with Obama's totalitarian rule!

BARACK OBAMA IS NOT ABOVE THE LAW---Send your Faxes now, and tell Congress to rein in Obama's power!

OBAMA LIES AGAIN!!!

"I taught the Constitution for 10 years. (LIE!) I believe in the Constitution (ANOTHER LIE), and I will obey the Constitution of the United States (A BIGGER LIE). We're not going to use signing statements as a way of doing an end-run around Congress."  (AND EVEN BIGGER LIE!)

"While it is legitimate for a president to issue a signing statement to clarify his understanding of ambiguous provisions of statutes and to explain his view of how he intends to faithfully execute the law, it is a clear abuse of power to use such statements as a license to evade laws that the President does not like or as an end-run around provisions designed to foster accountability," -- Barack Obama.

The hypocrisy of this man never fails to amaze. While campaigning he would say anything and everything to make Bush seem like a villain, yet as soon as he got into office he pulled a complete 180.

The 2011 budget which was finally passed at the eleventh hour included a provision to defund the czars, which direct the administration's policies for health care, climate change, the auto industry and urban affairs. These positions were already vacant; the provision simply stated that funds set aside to fill those roles would not be used.

Obama touted the budget as a compromise of both parties. Apparently what he meant was that it was a compromise that he would not adhere to. He lamented against George W. Bush using signing statements to bend the laws passed by Congress, yet he is doing the same thing.

Obama is forcing his socialist agenda on the United States by going around Congress. Please CLICK HERE to tell Congress that you do NOT approve of Obama's signing statements OR his czars. He already has 39 czars which answer to no one and control aspects of government already covered by other agencies which DO answer to Congress. This is just another way for Obama to continue his radical, liberal agenda even after the American people told him to stop on November 2nd. We need to send Congress the message that we are FED UP with Obama's totalitarian rule!


BARACK OBAMA IS NOT ABOVE THE LAW---Send your Faxes now, and tell Congress to rein in Obama's power!

An October article in the L.A. Times states that, "as President Obama remakes his senior staff, he is also shaping a new approach for the second half of his term: to advance his agenda through executive actions he can take on his own, rather than pushing plans through an increasingly hostile Congress."
