As a candidate in 2008, Barack Obama promised that if he was elected president he would not issue obscure declarations known as signing statements that thwart the intent of laws passed by Congress. But as the president now seeking reelection in 2012, on at least 20 occasions Obama has embraced the same tactic he criticized George W. Bush for using, raising allegations of double-dealing in Congress and questions of constitutionality from the American Bar Association.
Obama’s most recent signing statement came on New Year’s Eve, when he autographed a 13-paragraph memorandum declaring he did not intend to follow several sections of the National Defense Authorization Act that funded the military for 2012. The president said his lawyers had concluded the provisions interfered with his constitutional duties to carry out foreign policy.

He broke a promise in order to save America after RWNs shoehorned this horrible piece of legislation intentionally into a bill that had to be signed.
Why do RWNs act so dastardly and then blame everyone else for their evil deeds?

Obama lied again? Well, call me shocked. What does that make now? I think we into 5 digits.

There are three kind of liberals;
Stupid, ignorant or evil
The result is always evil but the intent is not always evil. Not that it makes much difference in the long run.

I thought this would be about his promise to end the BCS and bring a playoff system to college football.
Where is the outrage?

Every - single - candidate makes promises they will never keep. Everything sounds so easy until you actually have to work in the white house.

This appears to be making the rounds on various forums and blogs as of late.

That's so much apologistic bullshit.
I'd like to know exactly what provisions he's ignoring and that's about it. If it gives him even more power then he's a triple douche. If it really is to thwart bad legislation then kudos to him for working the system.
