    Death Star Petition Rejected

    A petition to the President of the United States, a Mr Obama, which called for him to "Secure resources and funding, and begin construction of a Death Star by 2016" has been rejected: https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/res...-youre-looking.
    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?

    All the proof one needs to see that Obama lacks CAN-DO attitude, Reagan is turning in his grave now...

              8.20am? Where the hell are you? It's 8.20pm on Friday where I am?

              I'm off to a 600 people Sales Kickoff in the morning at a lovely resort in California, full of overly competitive sales people where I will be acting as peace keeper. Oh what joy.

                Moscow.

                Peace keepers usually get caught in cross fire and given your midget like height of 4'2'' it's best that you stay at home...

                  4'2''? I'm not lying down.

                  Well if you're in Moscow, I'll have a quick word with my mate Obama, see if we can send over a missile.

                  Anyway, you said you'd never go back to Russia ever since they have up Communism and started reading the Daily Mail.

                    I am going back every few years to check how are things.
