"I am signing an imperfect omnibus bill because it is necessary for the ongoing functions of government," -President Obama
What B.S.! President Obama did not have to sign this "imperfect bill" Omnibus spending bill that increases costs to us taxpayers by 8% over last year budget. He could have vetoed it and Congress could have passed a continuing resolution to fund the government at the current rate. Not a bad idea since he has already spent over a trillion dollars in his first fifty days as President. Then he had the audacity to issue a signing statement something he criticised George Bush for doing. Here is the money quote from the AP:
"Two days after criticizing his predecessor for issuing guidelines on how to put legislation into
practice, President Barack Obama issued such a directive himself."
It's not change but, hypocrisy that Obama has bought to Washington.
