Pretty much anyone from the mayor of a large city, to President. I read a stat that said Obama was receiving an average of roughly 30 death threats a day.

One good thing about this White House petition system is that it seems to be keeping the crazies like Alex Jones busy.

What I disagree with is the practise of taking things to absolutely ridiculous extremes, in order to try and prove a point. That is where this thread started.

On a side note I also don't mind that people are demonstrating what the petition site really is, a silly way for the government to pretend they are listening to citizens without actually having to do anything. |

Apparently the White House does too. Responding to petitions that receive 25,000 signatures in 30 days must have become onerous, they raised the threshold for a required response to 100,000 signatures in the same 30 days.

Now you're just being intellectually dishonest.

If that was meant for me then my response to that would be, "Hardly."

I wonder how many members of Obama's admin. have ever fired a gun? Might help them know what they're talking about.

I'm in the military, have deployed and signed NDA's, and entered combat zones on airlift missions. However, I haven't deployed in over five years. I now teach and have access to the government network, but I do not currently handle any top secret material although I have had clearance to do so in the past. As a potential asset, do I warrant the amount of threat required to be able to protect myself I'm just trying to help goof determine where the line is, if I'm above or below it. Hey, there's the solution right there! We'll all apply for our second amendment rights and it'll get forwarded to papa! Call Obama dude, we need your services.
