from Zero Hedge:
In the past few weeks there has been a veritable explosion of White House petitions ranging from the bizarre to the surreal to the outright absurd, including such demands as Texas (and other southern states) seceding, deporting Piers Morgan, not deporting Piers Morgan, creating a Joe Biden sitcom, and even making a total mockery out of the US, and global, monetary system and evading the debt ceiling using a cheap, platinum coin-based parlor trick. All of these are, for lack of a better word, a la carte distractions launched by bored American citizens, meant to evade the menial drudgery of everyday life, and, generally, reality. In short: entertainment. And, logically, virtually none have so far contained actual, actionable provisions, that stood to benefit all Americans, instead of just one half of the ideological or party split. At least not until a new petition appeared two days ago, one demanding that the administration do something that has never been done on the public record: perform an assayed public audit of all the 8,100 tons of gold owned by the US Treasury. And not just any audit, but one including “professional auditors outside of the Mint, Treasury, GAO, Inspector General and Federal Reserve system.”
These petitions are just engineered “feel good” operations designed to give the general public an outlet for their frustrations… Nothing will become of them; P. Morgan will remain as an agent of Agitprop and no regular citizen will ever see the inside of Ft. Knox, West Point or NYFed’s vaults as long as the status quo remains in power.
Obama doesn’t work for the people. His handlers have no intention in assaying the countries gold. Besides, it’s all gold plated tungsten. Obama laughs at WH petitions.
