According to John Elwood, blogging at the Volokh Conspiracy, President Obama is ahead in signing statements four to one vs former President Bush, for this point in his Presidency.
Here is one that has statements that might raise concerns. If the Congress can't act to cut off funds or actions, where is its power? Not that I am advocating it, but if Congress voted to cut off all funding for Iraq on or after 1 October 2009, could the President blow it away with a "Signing Statement"?
