Plus ca change,

plus c'est la meme chose. The more things change, the more they stay the same. Now the proponent of change has taken to issuing signing statements ala his predecessor, Mr. G.W. Bush. This week he signed his second. In March he disagreed with the Omnibus Spending Bill and gave his interpretation of the bill. Now, he didn't like the clauses related to the IMF in a foreign-operations appropriation bill. While Obama has quite a way to go to match Bush's pace (2 in 6 months vs. almost 2 a week), in light of Obama's continuation of many Bush policies, I ask what's next?
