Qualifications? What qualifications?

The Decider(TM) takes another bold stride towards his coronation as George I.

In another of his patented signing statements, this time in reference to a bill reforming FEMA, he has essentially said "I will not reform FEMA the way you wish - I will reform FEMA the way I wish".

His objections include:
  • Minimum qualifications for the directorship (apparently congress left out "expertise with horse semen", "bootlicking" and "general incompetence").
  • The requirement to pass to Congress, without editing, reports by a watchdog agency within the Department of Homeland Security that is responsible for protecting Americans' personal privacy.
At least he's predictable.
