Rowdy's back, folks. Lying again. - Reply to this comment
- The bill has been available online since it was first considered in the House. I'm not sure when that was, but it was certainly more than 5 days ago.
As I previously explained, the bill needed to be signed by tonight or else risk govt. shutdown.
Your credibility is zip.

If Congress includes something in a bill which is unconstitutional, the President does not have to (in fact MUST NOT) do it. The final arbiter of what is and is not constitutional is, of course, the Supreme Court. - Reply to this comment
- Obama is a liar and a hypocrite.

What lie? What hypocrisy? Be specific, please. - Reply to this comment
- realnews, your excuse for signing that government would have shut down if Obama hadn't signed is hogwash. Congress could have passed an extension to keep government running while they passed a better bill. Obama is a liar and a hypocrite.

- I wonder if the congress does not agree with the statement president obama have given, what the congress will do. Once the congress could not do anything to the statement, dose it mean that the provision in the bill which obama objects would not be carried out? Futhermore, does it mean that obama has a power to enforce a law by choosing?If it is true, the branch of legislation and administration power is broken.

Did you ever think to search for the bill online? The text of both active and already passed legislation is available via the senate.gov website and also the Library of Congress website (thomas.loc.gov). The omnibus spending bill (H.R. 1105) is no exception.
Looks pretty stupid to accuse Obama of "breaking a promise" when you could easily find the bill for yourself. - Reply to this comment
- If Obama did not agree with the bill why did he not send it back to have the earmarks removed?

Because the bill had a deadline of TONIGHT or the government would have to shut down for lack of funds. There was already a temporary continuance of spending at last year's levels but that authorization expired tonight. The President decided we are in too much of a crisis for the government to shut down just so 1.5% of the bill could be challenged. He has stated the procedures for next time. - Reply to this comment
- Are any Libs here concerned that when your Messiah does a press conference he only speaks off a teleprompter and will not take any questions?

I've seen him take lots of questions at press conferences. So, no, I'm not at all concerned. - Reply to this comment
