Mr. Obama’s website has recently added a new feature called Open Government, allowing website visitors to propose new questions for Mr. Obama and vote for the ones most relevant to the American people. The latest forum is now closed, but during its tenure, the website staff appear to have been censoring visitors’ ability to ask certain questions to Mr. Obama, preventing them from being voted on by the software’s collaborative scoring system. I’ve included two screenshots below, showing that a search for “assault weapons” suspiciously returns zero results, while a search leaving off the leading “a”, e.g. “ssault weapons”, brings up several results. This is one of many hot topics, as there is nationwide concern about a new firearms ban and what its implications would mean to the recent 2nd Amendment SCOTUS case of DC v. Heller. Similar searches, such as “assault” and “ban”, “assault” and “atf”, or “assault” and “rifle” seem to also return empty results unless part of the spelling is removed.
