The more Obama changes DC, the more it remains the same

If this wasn't so tragic, it'd be hilarious:

President Barack Obama signed a $410 billion spending bill Wednesday that includes thousands of pet projects inserted by lawmakers, even as he unveiled new rules to restrict such so-called earmarks.

At the same time, after Democrats criticized former President George W. Bush's signing statements, Mr. Obama issued one of his own, declaring five provisions in the spending bill to be unconstitutional and nonbinding, including one aimed at preventing punishment of whistleblowers.

So let's see -- the Obama Regime expands DC's foreign military adventures, defends John Yoo's doctrine of the imperial presidency, and is working on another amnesty scheme for illegal aliens.

Oh, and now we can add the abuse of executive signing statements to Obama's resume. Looks like the age of color-blindness has indeed arrived, because it's impossible to distinguish George W. Bush from Barack Hussein Obama.
