Despite the "open government dialogue" website being overrun with posts addressing the eligibility issue, the White House appears to be moving on with its plans while ignoring concerns from thousands of people about Barack Obama's elusive "long-form" birth certificate.

"We read and considered all the proposals," Beth Noveck, White House deputy chief technology officer for open government, said in a statement on the White House website. "We took the voting into account when assessing your enthusiasm for a submission, but only somewhat in evaluating relevance."

She continued, "The ideas that received the most organized support were not necessarily the most viable suggestions."

As WND reported, many of the top-rated threads have been from citizens calling on Obama to release his birth certificate. There were more than 200 individual threads and thousands of comments on the eligibility issue alone, but moderators repeatedly edited dialogue about the birth certificate.

Let Obama and everyone else know you care about the Constitution. Take part in the WND's "Where's the Birth Certificate?" billboard campaign!

WND observed the "Making Data More Accessible" section for several hours Tuesday as more suggestions appeared, and at least 60 were subsequently removed on the first page alone – all requests for the president to submit proof of citizenship.

1. Obama should just post his birth certificate online, that'd do it.

Oh, wait. He did.


What the hell is wrong with these people?

[bluestateguy]

4. Any document that he produces, they will refuse to accept or call forged

That's the only way to keep the conspiracy going.

12. Someone should get Bush's birth record and post it after doctoring it up

Place of birth: Under a rock in China.

Footprints: That look like an ostrich.

Doctor: Josef Mengele

Mother: That useless Bush (I don't want to say her name)

Father: A coyote's sperm.

2. "the eligibility issue"

Its not an issue. Its a just another right wing delusion they desperately want to become an issue.

[Cass]

3. Obama had to have a security clearance when he was a US senator.

Don't these people realize if the circumstances of his birth were in question, it would have surfaced then??

These people are true idiots.

[Adelante]

7. "Barry Needs To Tour America In The Back Of An Open Convertible, Soon"

That's the kind of idiots they are.

8. Is that a veiled threat?

Or not so veiled?

[Adelante]

9. Not so veiled nt

[Ian David]

5. By "thousands of people" they really mean "dozens." n/t

[Adelante]

6. Dozens registering dozens of email accounts apiece to post dozens of attacks at a time

They're sabotaging the Open Government project and they are succeeding at this point.

10. And recording their IP addresses for posterity

At least they would be, were I running the Secret Service.

[Adelante]

11. Now they're asking for their own category on the site

And then make a public announcement "Because the majority care majority ABOUT the issue of Obama being eligible to be president of the United States of America, we have added this category. Enjoy it, patriots."

Why Is This Idea Important?

because redundancy is only wonderful when organized.

The saddest thing is right now on this Obama project site, these maniacs ARE the majority. :cry:

13. omg so many of the posters over there seem to have lost their minds!

I'm starting to regret signing up under my real name, because they seem really unhinged.

It's really sad to see so many people calling for impeachment over a non-issue which has been repeatedly debunked. What happened to supporting the President during times of war or crisis, something that they all screamed about for years?

It's scary how much racist, xenophobic, backwards, superstitious crap is on that site, and to be quite frank, it kind of makes me worried for the state of our Republic. I strongly believe in the ideals behind "We the People" being the government, but ... I'm starting to question the ability of "We the People" to be cognizant and responsible, which makes me really sad.

I don't mind political or philosophical or religious differences at all - they make the world go round and keep things interesting, but... <shudder>

[Adelante]

14. They are truly insane

Stark raving mad.

[Adelante]

15. This site needs our protection - We have to take it back from the wingers

Even if you only have ten minutes a day, please downrate these maniacs and flag their posts.

16. I have been

it's really sad that these people see no better way to fix this country than to be trolls.

[Adelante]

17. That's great, thank you

Yes, very sad.

[Adelante]

18. Hallelujah! They've shut it down

The project has moved on to Phase 2 and there are grownups in charge.

19. I'd love to be a White House webmaster.

Fighting these fuckers would be one of the most fulfilling professions I can imagine.

I don't care how open and transparent I'd promised to be--when wingnuts start DDoSing my website, I'd blacklist the fuckers too.

[Beaverhausen]

20. Oh my god that website is ruined
