What really surprises me is why the White House would even see the need to deny Obama is a cactus and state categorically that he is human just the same way they deny he went to mars.

Two petitions on We The People, the White House's experiment in crowdsourced petitioning and public opinion {Any petition that gains at least 25,000 signatures will be passed along to a top policymaker for a response} asked the White House to "formally acknowledge an extraterrestrial presence engaging the human race" and to "immediately disclose the government's knowledge of and communications with extraterrestrial beings."

The U.S. government has no evidence that any life exists outside our planet, or that an extraterrestrial presence has contacted or engaged any member of the human race. In addition, there is no credible information to suggest that any evidence is being hidden from the public's eye.

The combined signatures don't add up to 25,000, so it's odd the White House would respond to this petition instead of others on the platform.

Pro: Despite the seemingly outlandish petition, the White House responded with a respectful and fairly lengthy response penned by Phil Larson, who works in the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy. In it, Larson says that while aliens aren't on Earth, "that doesn't mean the subject of life outside our planet isn't being discussed or explored. In fact, there are a number of projects working toward the goal of understanding if life can or does exist off Earth." He lists three programs — SETI, the Kepler spacecraft and the Mars Science Laboratory — as examples of the search for life on other planets.

Of course yes. And that's if u mean the american first couple. But if it's the kenyan one i can't answer that coz i don't know and i knew it would be too dangerous to talk about it here.
