I offered a tepid defense of Obama on signing statements a few days ago, pointing out that Obama had acknowledged his intention to use signing statements during the campaign.  At the time, I had not seen the video above (h/t), in which Obama seems to promise that he won’t do precisely what he is doing—using signing statements to protect executive power.  So, yes, it appear that Obama has broken yet another promise, and I feel foolish for having defended him.

It’s okay, Jeff. We all get suckered by Obama from time to time—the (adoring) left more than others, but still…

I’m still waiting for my free pony.  Keep hope alive!
