This is the last straw for this sham of an Administration

[BallsBrunswick]

Well the American Dream of building a Star Wars style Death Star was dashed by the Obama Administration today responding to the massive petition filed on whitehouse.gov and signed by over 34,000 people.

The White House says building a Death Star would be an out-of-this-galaxy waste of money — not only because it's against government policy to blow up planets, but also because the United States already has access to a space station as well as a laser-wielding space robot.

Today's official statement on the Death Star issue, titled "This Isn't the Petition Response You're Looking For," was written by Paul Shawcross, chief of the science and space branch at the White House Office of Management and Budget. It comes in response to a "We the People" petition that called on the federal government to start building a "Star Wars"-style Death Star battle station by 2016.

This Isn't the Petition Response You're Looking For

"The Administration shares your desire for job creation and a strong national defense, but a Death Star isn't on the horizon. Here are a few reasons:

The construction of the Death Star has been estimated to cost more than $850,000,000,000,000,000. We're working hard to reduce the deficit, not expand it.

The Administration does not support blowing up planets.

Why would we spend countless taxpayer dollars on a Death Star with a fundamental flaw that can be exploited by a one-man starship?

Clearly this is a catastrophic moment for Dear Leader's administration and will cause the people to rise up and finally overthrow this commie nazi administration. We Americans deserve a Death Star!

Give me Liberty or give me a Death Star.

I love the response they gave to this petition. Hilarious.
