The Obama administration recently set up a petition site at Whitehouse.gov, so that ordinary citizens could demand answers from the government about today's most important issues...if their petition gets 25,000 signatures in 30 days.
And proving to be as good as their word, the Whitehouse has now responded to a petition which was not about out-of-control spending, the politics of division, our collapsing foreign policy, the destruction of our healthcare system, or the evaporation of the jobs market...but rather, a petition that called on the government to formally acknowledge that aliens have visited Earth and the feds have been withholding the evidence.
Unsurprisingly, the Whitehouse response boils down to "Ha, ha! There are no aliens, no extra-terrestrial intelligences, and there is no evidence of a cover-up!"
Amusingly, this assertion comes approximately one week after Obama's Justice Department proposed a new rule which would allow the government to deny the existence of sensitive documents and lie when making official on-the-record statements. Comfortingly, they have now decided not to implement the policy after all...and to prove it, they issued an official on-the-record statement.
But is there an intergalatic cover-up going on under this administration? It would certainly help explain why the president cancelled NASA's exploration of space. And why his party so vehemently defends the rights of aliens. And why those "in the know" continue to spend money as if they knew that something was going to happen to mankind before the bills come due. Gulp...
In any event, it's good to see that the government is actually responding to those people who are energized enough to create and promote an online petition.
Which is why Hope n' Change is planning to start one asking Barack Obama to get serious about our economy "after you've finished exploring Uranus."
If these people aren't aliens, why does the first lady have green hands?
