How NOT to be a President

From this article, "Obama signs 'imperfect' spending bill in private", by Philip Elliot on Townhall.com:

Calling it an "imperfect" bill, President Barack Obama signed a $410 billion spending package Wednesday that includes billions in earmarks like those he promised to curb in last year's campaign. He insisted the bill must signal an "end to the old way of doing business." The massive measure supporting federal agencies through the fall contains nearly 8,000 pet projects, earmarked by sponsors though denounced by critics.

Obama defended earmarks when they're "done right," allowing lawmakers to direct money to worthy projects in their districts. But he said they've been abused, and he promised to work with Congress to curb them.

"I am signing an imperfect omnibus bill because it's necessary for the ongoing functions of government," Obama declared. "But I also view this as a departure point for more far-reaching change."

First: "HEY OBAMA! YOU'RE THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES!" (yes, I'm yelling) "You have this tool called the VETO. If you think earmarks are wrong, or not "done right", VETO THE BILL! Send it back to Congress and tell them to start over and remove the earmarks. "

Second: He's a liar because of the second bolded part of the quote. It was not necessary to sign the bill. He could veto it, insist Congress pass a continuing resolution to fund the government at current levels until whenever, like how about the end of the fiscal year, Sept 30th. Then they have all summer to debate how to 'do it right'.

Third: This is just more evidence that Obama isn't a leader or an executive in any sense of the word. He is a talker, a 'Community Organizer-in-Chief'. He's going to do whatever the Demo Congress wants, sign whatever they send him. He'll talk all about what he WANTS to do, but he's not going to press them to do anything specific. What has he pressed them to do yet? Name one thing?
