Criticize him as you will, but he never claimed he wouldn't issue signing statements.I see it as yet another example of an amateur misstep. You don't make absolute promises during a campaign , and then blatantly disregard them less than 60 days after entering office.
Rep candidate is going to have a field day with an Obama clip saying that he wouldn't, and then time after time showing that he has.
I am not a fan of them but in this case, as in some of Dubya's, I think it was justified.
It is just ridiculous to not allow advisers. Presidents actually need advice on rare occasions...believe it or not.
