More Open Government From Obama

Obama To Mayors:

"I’m going to take some of your questions but first the cameras have to go so you can tell me the truth."

This sounds like a joke, but I was watching this speech on CNN and the camera feed was immediately cut after President Obama uttered those words.

WH censors work tirelessly to scrub eligibility posts from open government site

The White House is removing the hundreds of threads from the 'Open government dialogue' website. Apparently, open dialogue does not extend to Obama's original birth or college records. WND reported:

With more than 200 individual threads and thousands of comments on the eligibility issue alone, moderators of the White House website on "open government dialogue" have been working tirelessly to edit the dialogue about Barack Obama's elusive "long-form" birth certificate.

Many of the top-rated threads are from citizens calling on Obama to release his birth certificate. The postings in the "top rated" category have received the most "looks promising" votes from users. New threads on the topic of Obama's constitutional eligibility to serve as president are appearing by the minute.

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

74% of voters on White House 'dialogue' site demand Obama release long-form birth certificate

This is rather funny. The White House set up a website forum for the public participation in 'open government dialogue'. Now, 74% of voters on the White House 'dialogue' site demand Obama release his long-form birth certificate. Don't hold your breath waiting for a response to that 'open government' response. From WND:

The entire transparency portion of the White House website on "open government dialogue" has been overrun with citizens calling on Barack Obama to release his elusive "long-form" birth certificate to establish his constitutional eligibility to serve as president.

The forums are open to the public for participation. Joseph Farah, editor and chief executive officer of WND, has been urging those concerned about the issue to get involved.

As WND reported, on Sunday night only 30 percent of respondents in one forum demanded the president release the document. But that number exploded to more than 74 percent after the public became aware of the White House resource.
