OpenGov - Open Government Brainstorm Making Data More Accessible

Number one on the agenda -

Open display of the long form birth certificate for Obama revealing name and hospital and other info.

We don't want an imposter in the White House!

The President has spent untold amounts of money to keep his citizenship secret. The taxpapers have contributed vast sums of money to ask for proof that he was born in Hawaii and did not give up his birth certificate to become a citizen of Indonesia. Indonesia does not allow dual citizenship. It makes sense that he did not have an American passport when he traveled to Pakistan because it was not allowed.

If you are legitimately eligible to hold the office of President of The United States.. Prove it by releasing your TRUE vault long form birth certificate along with all of your school records. Common sense tells anyone with half a brain that if you had nothing to hide... you would just release these items and stop paying hundreds of thousands of dollars to law firms to keep these things secret. This issue will not go ...more »

Mr. President could you please release to the public your official Birth Certificate? If you have nothing to hide regarding your Constitutional qualification as a "natural born citizen" to be president, why has there been so much money spent and effort made on your behalf to prevent the release of this information? Obviously you are hiding something. The American people have a right to have you vetted at least as much ...more »

Transparency: start by showing the American people a certified birth certificate with attending physician. Have all data listed that is required by the state of Illinois

Congressional hearings were held to determine John McCain's eligibility to run for president, yet no such hearing was held regarding Barack Obama, despite his well-known international upbringing. Myriad questions remain unanswered and the American public has the right to see the same kind of documented proof that was required of Obama's opponent--and which would be required of any other person running for president, ...more »

It seems that this issue will not die until you give valid proof of your birth. Your efforts thus far have proven laughable. Your imps did not think it through when they produced a laser printed document that did not exist when you were born. Additionally, it seems that you have gone to extreme measures (spending hundreds of thousands of dollars)to stop lawsuits that have formed to press this issue. If I were asked ...more »

Here's a great explanation of why husein's mouthpiece Robert Gibbs (who thinks honest questions are hilarious) should be aware that a "certification of life birth" which just means a person was born (could be in Kenya, USA, the moon, etc.) is not a birth certificate. So far husein has spent one million dollars in legal fees to fight producing a birth certificate. If you were challenged would you spend a million dollars ...more »

I guess we should be thankful Obama has spent money hiring lawyers to conceal his past for him...is that not saving or creating jobs for lawyers who would otherwise have to find employment lying for someone else? How simple is it to just give a simple answer to the American public? You have to produce a birth certificate to serve in the American military so why is it that you do not have to produce one to serve as The ...more »

I wish to ask our President of the United States (who is a "Constitutional Lawyer) if this country and our citizens are well served by not REQUIRING a Presidential Candidate to PROVE beyond a shadow of a doubt, that they are Eligibile for running for the President of the United States? Mr. Obama, you have disgraced the country and the 100,000's who have died protecting this nation with your refusal to unseal and show ...more »

Here's a novel idea: Rather than stir the pot of controversy and conspiracy, simply release to the public your actual long form birth certificate, not the "Certification of Live Birth" garbage. And while you're at it, release the passport records in regard to Indonesia. Your actions thus far are at best translucent, not even close to transparent.

Why should Americans believe you are genuine on the subject of "transparency" when you have spent an untold amount of money to keep records concealed which would, according to your supporters (and you, presumably), prove that you are a natural-born U.S. citizen, and therefore eligible to hold the office you occupy? Unless there is information on those various documents, COMPLETE birth certificate, your college admission ...more »
