A "statement" attached to the bill is meaningless, legally. It's simply something that his supporters can point to and say, "See? He signed it, but he doesn't really MEAN it!"
He can use the act anytime he wants, may be using it right now... some "statement" doesn't stop him in any way. Are you really this blinded by partisan politics?

Obama doesnt have the authority to 'put it in the law', thats congresses job. I should point out this controversial amendment was added by republican John McCain.
