It’s now been 709 days since the petition to Pardon Edward Snowden met the required standard of the official White House petition website (100,000 signatures within 30 days) to obtain a response from the Obama administration. 709 days later, there has been no response to the petition from President Obama or anyone else in the Obama administration.
The Obama administration responded on time to a petition to color the White House purple. The Obama administration responded on time to a petition to release a special presidential beer recipe. But the Obama administration seems to be just too busy to keep its promise to answer all petitions meeting its threshold.
Tonight, for instance, Obama administration officials are extra busy taking to the airwaves to declare that if unconstitutional warrantless searches aren’t allowed to continue, the terrorists win.
