So how do you libs justify this? A bunch of you libs were bashing Bush for using writers!!! So what BS are you gonna use to justify this? Can't wait to hear these excuses...

Obama saying he would never use writers

Obama's lacky trying to change what he said

http://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2...statements.html

Obama has crossed over into the land beyond pathetic!!! This is a whole new low!!!

A new low?

I guess it's impeachment time.

Please Vic, tell us what you know about his birth certificate and the Sharia Law he's going to impose.

They are signing statements not "writers". All presidents have been using/abusing them especially since Reagan. Bush set a new standard of abuse.

"Obama has crossed over into the land beyond pathetic!!!".
Way too soon isn't it? He's got a long way to go to sink to the level of your heroes.

Go ahead and keep coming after me. Ignore and deny that Obama is doing exactly the same things that Bush did that had ya all riled up.

I like it when people get all bunched up in the panty department over stuff that requires at least a 4th grade education to understand...and they clearly lack that, sinice they clearly don't understand what it is they're getting riled about.

All politcians use writers. This is not new at least since I started voting in 1968. I don't personally remember anything about people getting pissy about Bush having writers nor does it surprise me that Pres. Obama has writers. Of course, I may not have cared about it as I don't believe policitians as a general rule anyway. This is much to do about nothing Vic.
At the end of the day, a politicians may have a writer but they are responsible for what comes outta thier pie hole. What I've never understood is why anyone dogs Obama about using a teleprompter. Isn't that what they're for?
Whether you're a lib, conservative or whatever, please try and focus on things that really have value, such as military vets needing help or the education system not teaching students, so you don't appear to be a mouth breather.

There is a difference between a "typing error" and a "typographical error"...look it up.

Maybe it is much ado about nothing. If that is the case, then it was much ado about nothing when the shrill voices from the left, many of whom have commented on this thread, stated that Bush was a dictator because he was using his signing statements/writers to alter laws. It was clearly enough of an issue that Obama felt the need point out using that tactic is an "end run around congress". Now Obama is running his own sweep play because he doesn't like the budget cuts HE negotiated with Republicans.

You can't have it both ways and claim to have integrity. If you are going to vilify one side to sway public opinion, then use the same tactic, you deserve the very same treatment. All in all this is a slimy tactic used by an unprincipled man.

I do see this as a relevant issue. Obama and the Democrats negotiated and agreed to a budget, then decided after the fact that they aren't going to abide by it. We have serious issues that need to be dealt with. If Obama is going to create distrust by going back on his word after a bill is agreed to and voted on, then how willing do you think Republicans are going to be to compromise with him the next time around?

I'd say 100% exactly the same as the willingness they've been showing...which is to say, none at all.

None at all huh? Considering the Republicans wanted to cut 100 billion from the 2011 budget and settled for 38 billion I would have to say you couldn't be more wrong.

That's not because they are compromising with Obama...it's because they are still trying to figure out how to be Republicans, Conservatives, and TeaBaggers all at the same time.

Todd

Really? That's your answer? Just a few posts ago you were calling me stupid?

I don't recall calling you stupid...but I will, if it makes you feel better.

So, did you want to point out when you were villifying Bush for making his signing statements...............or did you just want to play the Pot, Kettle, Black game?

You are about to be cast down to the depths of BBS hell. Say Hi to Rory and Sard for me.
