Whitehouse Denies Petition to build Deathstar!
 
https://petitions.whitehouse.gov//re...-youre-looking

Quote:

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?
How DARE the white house go against the will of the people, the 34,435 signatures clearly show that Americans want a Deathstar. Barack Obama is clearly usurping the will of the people! :huh: :O:

Love the humor in the reply :D

Well, that's the last straw, Obama is clearly against creating job growth in America! :nope:

So the Muslim-In-Chief will do nothing while Al Qaeda develops their own Death Star first. Shameful.

Maybe if they rename it "SDI" and get a folksy, old "B" actor to endrose the idea...

Either that or wait until James Earl jones is named Secretary of Defense...

China has sold them the thrusters, while Russia supplied them the guns.

I agree with the president when he stated it could be easily thwarted by one man in a star fighter.

And the cost of it what? 850 quadrillion? Seriously, as if we do not feed the Military Industrial Complex enough? We may as well hire people to write out a googolplex. It would be slightly more productive.

I suppose the poor will take another bump to build this? Or will the rich recieve a subsidy to attempt it?

My dream in life is to be like GE, rape the country, then get a refund from uncle sam for doing so, then I will build this personally.

Until then, your stuck with getting exploited by yourgovernment, and not me.

If I was you, I would much rather be exploited by Chris' Death Star service than Haliburton, we promise the same, yet I can deliver!

PM me for Pay pal/investor details.

We can all get rich!:D

The full response is worth a read.

Go science!

If a Death Star can be defeated by a one man starship then we must build thousands of those starships to maintain a credible deterent to Death Stars.
