However, when you write that these acts come from "socialist-leaning liberals" it sounds like you only care when a democrat does it. Kind of like how the Tea Party only cares about out of control spending when a Democrat is in office. <br /><br />Glad you wrote about the signing statements previously though...I enjoy your site.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24739165.post-32140147201306829532010-11-29T09:49:16.070-07:002010-11-29T09:49:16.070-07:00You're comparing apples to oranges to some ext...You're comparing apples to oranges to some extent, Anon, but I'll bite. <br /><br />You mean the Bush practice of using unconstitutional signing statements I criticized on July 21, 2009?:<br /><br /><i>"the exact same action that the Obama (correctly, in our opinion) harshly criticized President Bush for repeatedly doing while he was on the campaign trail" </i><br /><br />http://northernmuckraker.blogspot.com/2009/07/officially-non-transparent-just-as-we.html<br /><br />Bush was completely in the wrong for making those signing statements, and the courts slapped him down numerous times for doing so. Unfortunately for you, he is no longer in office and now we have Obama performing the exact same acts that he slammed Chimpy McHitler for unapologetically doing, making Dear Leader a complete hypocrite at best.Douglas Hesterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08294368746311073234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24739165.post-79650885402960731782010-11-29T06:44:10.937-07:002010-11-29T06:44:10.937-07:00Just more of that "Stroke of the pen.

Kinda cool" mentality that we've come to expect from such socialist-leaning liberals. <br /><br />Are you referring to that socialist, liberal George Bush who used signing statements 750 times?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
