Data.gov To Launch In May
An anonymous reader writes "In late May, Data.gov will launch, in what US CIO Vivek Kundra calls an attempt to ensure that all government data 'that is not restricted for national security reasons can be made public' through data feeds. This appears to be a tremendous expansion on (and an official form of) third-party products like the Sunlight Labs API. Of course, it is still a far cry from 'open sourcing' the actual decision-making processes of government. Wired has launched a wiki for calling attention to datasets that should be shared as part of the Data.gov plan, and an article on O'Reilly discusses the importance of making this information easily accessible."
People who don't want to believe Obama is legitmate won't, no matter what evidence is presented. The stuff you say about his birth certificate is irrelevant, because the document he presented to the press during the campaign is a real, 100% authentic US birth certificate. He did not present "a type of card" as you say. He didn't present anything different from my own birth certificate. All the evidence is there if you want to see it, but the truth is you and the OP aren't interested in facts because the facts don't fit with what you want to be the truth.

...as the GP said, if he were to provide it (which would probably take all of 15 minutes) it would shut up all those who are currently asking...
You are provably wrong, since he did provide it and numerous people here are still asking for it. I already linked to a copy of it in a reply, and several other people linked to articles verifying it was released.
No.
As Colbert (as in ISS module name) pointed out, the hawaiian birth certificate is very likely fake as it is not etched on a coconut.
And knowing current state of US intelligence services, one never can be sure that somebody actually run a background check before he got elected.
All hope abandon ye who enter here.
You missed something. He was asked to provide a document that every citizen born in america now days, and at the time of his birth is required to have by law.
The law doesn't say you have to carry it or even have it in your possession at any time, but one HAS to exist if you were born in America during Obama's lifetime.
If he was not born in America, does not have an American birth certificate, but was naturalized because his parent(s) was an American and gave birth abroad for some reason then he can, in fact, NOT be the President.
The president can be any 'natural born citizen of the united state, over the age of 35 years.
Natural born does not mean that it can't be a test tube baby. When that statement was written, test tube babies weren't even in anyones imagination yet. It means they have to be born on US soil.
Personally, I do not think that has ever been enforced, and probably because it hasn't yet really been a good reason not to allow someone to become the president, just because they were born on a vaction in the wrong spot, doesn't make them good for our country.
The founding fathers however had a very valid fear of someone trying to sneak in and subvert the newborn country considering what they had been through.
While it may not matter for Obama, he may not be some evil bastard trying to subvert the goverment for some other country, he should be held to the standards required. Otherwise, when the day comes, and we all know for a fact that some jackass is about to be elected and that he's a fraud ready to damage the country, but precedent is set that we let it happen anyway, then we just become complete hypocrits if we act on it, and morons if we don't. This is why you follow the law always, and change it if you don't feel its right.

As I said, Obama provided a Certification of Live Birth, NOT a Certificate of Live Birth, the difference...
Yes, but not one that matters. They sued, the courts, asked Hawaii to verify the certificate issued matched their original records and they confirmed that. Then they threw out the case. Several other cases were filed, the judges looked at the evidence and tossed those out too. No matter what is provided nutjobs (such as yourself) continue to field conspiracy theories. Assuming you had the originally issued one in your hands, you'd probably come up with some theory as to how it is an elaborate forgery and all the people who knew him growing up are illuminati agents. Or, like other conspiracy nutjobs, you'd claim his Kenyan dual citizenship somehow nullified it. It doesn't matter. At some point reasonable people stop humoring you and start classifying you as nutjobs and ignoring you. That time was in 2008 after every reasonable person had seen the preponderance of evidence and all the investigative reporters had failed to find anything to support said theories.
Just give it up already, or at least stop being surprised for being modded troll.
