Well, that didn’t take long:

On another potentially controversial matter, the president also issued a “signing statement” with the bill, saying several of its provisions raised constitutional concerns and would be taken merely as suggestions.

Which proves me right: Obama doesn’t have a problem with signing statements, just statements that he doesn’t sign.

And now about those earmarks. This could be the “read my lips: no new taxes” moment of his presidency.
