The Washington Post reported today that President joked about signing the unconstitutional Shays-Meehan campaign finance reform bill passed by the Senate last week.
Bush, in a statement issued Wednesday night, had expressed misgivings about whether parts of the bill were constitutional but said that he would sign the bill anyway.
His decision to sign the bill has kicked up a firestorm of dissent in the conservative community, including a scathing editorial by The Washington Times and a letter from the American Conservative Union signed by 60 conservative leaders.
Poster Comment:
It is very sad that President Bush is taking this matter so lightly. While I have generally been a supporter of the President, this promised signature on CFR--following his signing the partly unconstitutional Patriot Act--is seriously eroding what support I had for him.
I still support him as commander-in-chief and his leadership in the war on terror, but he needs to reread the Constitution--especially the Bill of Rights.

Can we trust this is what he said from a WP story. Sounds like it was put there for us. Smells a little ratty to me.

It wasn't written by Lloyd Grove (who pushed the Stevie Wonder story.)
We'll see if Ari Fleischer has something to say about this later today.

Bush was quoted in a Reuters article also as making these very same "joking" comments. This is real my friend, and he really did say these things.

I think in my talks with Uncle Bill over the last 2 months he is trying to say that conservatives that care what The President does are always called suspects as you say. Heck I can't even get a reply to a Cornell story here at a Conservative site because it questions The Presidents motives.
Here is the story

So in my opinion what you are saying is that as long as President Bush does it its fine but if a rat democrats liberal does it its not, which is crazy! Its not right for either to do it and for sure not President Bush.
