One person suggested the White House take advantage of existing open-source trusted ID efforts, including OpenID.

Schmidt's office developed the draft of the trusted ID plan by working with other government agencies, business leaders and privacy advocates, he said. A second poster called on the government to "leave privacy to the private sector."

"The current executive has been smothering the privacy and liberty of Americans even more than his predecessor, and evading criticism by employing secrecy and rainbows," that poster wrote. "Americans should not trust the federal government to have any goal other than the expansion of federal power."

A third poster suggested that "you all go get a real job at McDonalds."

The trusted ID plan is part of the Obama administrations , released in May 2009.
