Surprise, surprise, Obama is doing the SAME thing.
By now Obama has become well-known for completely reversing his positions. While campaigning, he said that Bush's use of signing statement was an effort "to accumulate more power in the presidency."
Oh, really?
Because now Obama has issued a signing statement declaring that he'll just ignore the provision in the recent 2011 budget about defunding 4 czar positions. He already has a record number of 39 czars that have broad-reaching powers, and do not need to be confirmed by the Senate. Having these czars allows Obama to control aspects of government through regulations, giving Congress NO CONTROL OVER THEM.
In just two years, Obama has appointed 39 czars to regulate a whole host of agendas. Some of his more ridiculous czars include:
- AIDS Czar
- California Water Czar
- Climate Czar
- Domestic Violence Czar
- Faith-based Czar
- Great Lakes Czar
- Guantanamo Closure Czar
Obama is forcing his socialist agenda on the United States by going around Congress. Please CLICK HERE to tell Congress that you do NOT approve of Obama's signing statements OR his czars. He already has 39 czars which answer to no one and control aspects of government already covered by other agencies which DO answer to Congress. This is just another way for Obama to continue his radical, liberal agenda even after the American people told him to stop on November 2nd. We need to send this man the message that we are FED UP with Obama's totalitarian rule!
BARACK OBAMA IS NOT ABOVE THE LAW---Send your Faxes now, and tell Congress to rein in Obama's power!
"I taught the Constitution for 10 years. I believe in the Constitution, and I will obey the Constitution of the United States. We're not going to use signing statements as a way of doing an end-run around Congress." "While it is legitimate for a president to issue a signing statement to clarify his understanding of ambiguous provisions of statutes and to explain his view of how he intends to faithfully execute the law, it is a clear abuse of power to use such statements as a license to evade laws that the President does not like or as an end-run around provisions designed to foster accountability," -- Barack Obama.
The hypocrisy of this man never fails to amaze. While campaigning he would say anything and everything to make Bush seem like a villain, yet as soon as he got into office he pulled a complete 180.
The 2011 budget which was finally passed at the eleventh hour included a provision to defund the czars, which direct the administration's policies for health care, climate change, the auto industry and urban affairs. These positions were already vacant; the provision simply stated that funds set aside to fill those roles would not be used.
Obama touted the budget as a compromise of both parties. Apparently what he meant was that it was a compromise that he would not adhere to. He lamented against George W. Bush using signing statements to bend the laws passed by Congress, yet he is doing the same thing.

An October article in the L.A. Times states that, "as President Obama remakes his senior staff, he is also shaping a new approach for the second half of his term: to advance his agenda through executive actions he can take on his own, rather than pushing plans through an increasingly hostile Congress."
Basically this means that since his party lost the election in November by historic margins, he's going to do whatever it takes to make sure that his agenda continues uninterrupted.
BARACK OBAMA IS NOT ABOVE THE LAW---Send your Faxes now, and tell Congress to rein in Obama's power!
Obama never even disclosed information about his czars to the American people. A good strategy, considering the people he hired for these positions are even more ridiculous than the positions themselves.
The Science Czar, John Holdren authored a book advocating forced abortions and mass sterilization.
The Regulatory Czar, Cass Sunstein believes that hunting should be banned and animals should have legal rights.
The (former) Climate Czar, Carol Browning was a leader in the socialist Commission for a Sustainable World Society.
The Auto Recovery Czar, Ed Montgomery is an anti-business activist and board member of ACORN.
These are the people Obama wants to have complete oversight of our country. He doesn't believe in "we, the people." Instead, he believes in "I, the government." Well we, the people, need to stop him! BARACK OBAMA IS NOT ABOVE THE LAW---Send your Faxes now, and tell Congress to rein in Obama's power!
Obama's appointment of these czars as a way to bypass a Congress he does not completely control is UNCONSTITUTIONAL.
We have a democratic process for a reason. When Obama does things like this, he is a dictator.
The American people told him once that they do not approve of the way he is running our country. Apparently, we need to tell him again.
We know where this is heading; he has set a dangerous precedent. Even though Republicans were overwhelmingly elected into Congress to reverse the direction Obama has set for America, he will not give up his power.
From this point on, whenever the Republicans make an effort to fix our economy, Obama will include a signing statement nullifying their efforts.
How much will he exclude from the 2012 budget proposal when he signs it?
How many laws will be passed with these statements?
We cannot wait to find out, we need to ensure that this habit STOPS NOW!
We need to send Congress the message that we are FED UP with Obama's totalitarian rule! Please send your Faxes now, and tell Congress to rein in Obama's power!
Sincerely,
Tony Adkins
