The banned petition:

we petition the obama administration to:

rescind invite to Gangnam Style rapper PSY to perform for Pres. Obama at Christmas party over troop killing song lyrics

We request President Obama rescind his invitation to the Gangnam Style rapper PSY to perform for him at the Christmas in Washington celebration this month because of the rapper's vicious anti-American song lyrics. In 2004, PSY reportedly performed a song entitled, Dear America, that contained the following lyrics (profanity edited): "Kill those f***ing Yankees who have been torturing Iraqi captives Kill those f***ing Yankees who ordered them to torture Kill their daughters, mothers, daughters-in-law, and fathers Kill them all slowly and painfully " As commander-in-chief, how can Pres. Obama honor someone who calls for killing our troops and their families?

Let him bow to him,What he is doing is alienating the military even more. I’d say 90% of the military hates him already. We are going to need some support from our sons and daughters in uniform soon,IMHO, and dumb actions like this just help us.We just need to be sure the word is spread.

The US Constitution guarantees our right to petition the government.
So once again Zero is violating our rights.
He should be charged with violating his oath of office over this.

Please. We petitioned the government. He pissed on the petition. Nobody's rights are violated by his action. Our first amendment right to petition the government does not guarantee that every petition will be acknowledged, let alone acquiesced.
