Jay Carney: Obama Was Never Opposed To Signing Statements



Jay Carney says President Obama was never against signing statements, just when President Bush "abused" them.

"His concern was with what he saw as an abuse of the signing statement by the previous administration. So that the positions he took in signing statements on the budget bill entirely consistent with that position, you need to retain the right to, as president, to be able to issue those signing statements, but obviously they should not be abused," White House press secretary Jay Carney told the press on Monday.

Negotiating a deal, then reneging on the deal.  THAT is the problem here junior.  The signing statement flip flop is just icing on the cake.

It's no wonder the Obama administration is stuck in a rut. They spin their wheels and then have to backtrack all the time.

Jay Carney, the minister of troof.

I may not lock my doors while sitting at a red light and a black man is near, but I sure as hell grab on tight to my wallet when any democrats are close by.

NAMBLA is a left-wing organization.

There's a reason why patriotism is considered a conservative value. Watch a Tea Party rally and you'll see people proudly raising the American flag and showing pride in U.S. heroes such as Thomas Jefferson. Watch an OWS rally and you'll see people burning the American flag while showing pride in communist heroes such as Che Guevera. --Bob, from some news site
