Obama's first signing statement?

Remember signing statements? Those horrible, rotten, evil, extra constitutional power grabs by Bush/Cheney, which interpreted laws upon enactment and reserved (in advance) the right to violate them?

Barack Obama just issued his first one.

I'm waiting for the critics of signing statements to be outraged. Unless they weren't opposed to signing statements, but were only opposed to Bush issuing signing statements . . .
