A petition demanding the President Barack Obama administration build a Death Star like the one in Star Wars reached 25,000-plus signatures Thursday, a threshold requiring the government to respond whether it will build the fictional weapon capable of annihilating planets with its super laser. The petition on the White House website’s “We the People” page demands the Death Star project begin by 2016.
By focusing our defense resources into a space-superiority platform and weapon system such as a Death Star, the government can spur job creation in the fields of construction, engineering, space exploration, and more, and strengthen our national defense.

Has politics really made Americans this crazy? Or is this just a bunch of Star Wars fans (Namely those living in their parents basements) crying out for attention?

If anything, it shows how ludicrous the President's "petition website" is. Like every other petition that received the required sigs, it will receive no consideration but the nominal. The White House's interaction with the General Public is nothing more than another sideshow in the world of bread and circuses. The only "petitions" Obama takes serious come in the form of power and money.

btw, if they really built one, imagine all the jobs it would create.

Hell, it took a personal visit from Vader AND the Emperor to get the Imperials to finish building the Death Star. What makes us think a democratic president who can't even get a democratically-controlled congress to pass a budget could build a Death Star! I think I just peed myself. This government is such a disappointment.
