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

On a sidenote, I think I just created the most obnoxious LMGTFY link ever.

Google isn't that great at word problems. It's best to pick a few keywords and search for those instead of typing out an entire thesis...


HTH

Did Bush promise anything about these? Obama did.

Yeah - I think you covered that in your initial post - but by all means keep saying it you need to let the butthurt flow through you...


All I was doing was bring some facts to the table, I didn't offer a opinion one way or another - sorry if that gets in the way of your ARGARABALE


You are supposedly a grown human being - yet most of the time all you do is bitch and moan about he said she said crap like a two bit jersey gossip whore. So a politician lied to you on the campaign trail ZOMG....

Signing statements were a non issue when Bush was President. They continue to be a non issue.

They carry no weight whatsoever. The President may as well be writing poems or recipes on there.

HTH

It has nothing to do with the word problem. It's the fact that LMGTFY types so slowly that it takes about a minute for the entire search string to be entered. It just did a quick copypasta from Grymlo's copypasta into LMGTFY to get the tinyurl without really thinking about what end result would be.

I just bring it up because certain libs love to bring up promises kept by this president.

That seems like a weak example. As far as the story makes out the "signing statement" is just "I think this part is unconstitutional so I won't follow it."


That isn't what people were mad at Bush for.

Everyone already knew Obama was a lying sack.

People were mad at Bush for being a Republican.

His signing statements carried no weight. They were not part of the laws he signed.
