CGI, the Canadian company whose U.S. subsidiary built the failed Obamacare website, was once contracted to build a federal gun registry for the Canadian government...
CGI's contract was canceled in 2007 after a report by the Auditor General found that the Canadian Firearms Information System (CFIS) being built by CGI was "significantly over budget" and that it had been plagued by delays.
The Conservative government that took power in 2006 canceled CGI's gun registry contract, and eventually repealed the Canadian gun registry entirely.
...
The failed gun registry was only one of CGI's many Canadian failures, which included canceled contracts to build health care databases in the provinces of Ontario and New Brunswick. Despite CGI's checkered record, the Obama administration awarded its U.S. subsidiary, CGI Federal, the $93.7 million contract to build healthcare.gov, part of $678 million in health care services contracts awarded to the company.
...
The U.S. does not have a gun registry, but one would be required, according to Breitbart News' AWR Hawkins, to implement the universal background checks that Democrats and the Obama administration tried to push through Congress earlier this year.

I meant how hard is it to technically build the database software. Databases are old hat and well understood. All you need to do is to enter in the data. No calculations, no formulas, no computations.
Seems like he may owe them big-time, because they may have overseen the sanitization of Obama’s passport records. And they may have edited the film that was used to set up/stage/cover up the 9-11 Benghazi attack that killed our ambassador to Libya. See http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3082465/posts
And you think that will stop the powers to be in their quest for total control?
When the SHTF, all bets are off.
Donations to his campaign?
Sure, got it...No worries...;-)
they dont want “obamacare” to work ..thus the pretense of hiring geniuses who cant even tie their own shoes
and was this a no-bid contract?
How is that even legal?
Holder won’t care
was it free? was it all online?
Everything I found out was for free and it was on-line. I believe I accessed the 1940 census info from Ancestry.com and had to sign up but the first 30 days were free. I found that census particularly interesting for me because I was adopted and my bio father and grandparents are listed but there is no mention of my bio mother or an older sister who reportedly was born that year. As I remember I did have to know something about the part of the country where they lived so I could find the correct report. Of course they are all long gone now but it would sure be a good spot to get a bogus SS# from.
The legal history as I recall was on a website that you had to pay for, at least to use for the first 30 days. Even those websites that you have to pay for are really inexpensive and you can buy and use a MC or VISA gift card to pay for them.
A relative was having problems with her ex-husband and his new wife and she was able to get a copy of the new wife’s previous divorce decree through the FOIA which was pretty interesting.
Seems like a whole lot of stuff there if you want to spend hours digging for it.
Oh, thank goodness!!! They would never do that!
CGI was a part of a scandal in Ontario’s ehealth systems. Thet got a contract for 50 million dollars to create a diabetes registry that was a miserable failure. The contract was eventually scaped and the registry rendered useless. The over cost of the ehealth scandal was 1 billion dollars(this is a province in Canada remember...just 1 province). You probably hear how great the Canadian system is. Well, its great until you actually need and realize that the care is really very poor.
See my post above. I know first hand that cgi is doing its best to ensure all of there developers are in india
Thank Barack for giving us the best health care system India could buy.
They’re still trying by way of the UN!
In a prior corruption investigation a Senate committee proved once and for all the rule is "follow the money".
Betcha here, there will be found massive kickbacks to the administration/democrat party.

I’ve put in applications at “CGI” stateside but have not landed a job.
Looks like I may have dodged a bullet.
Or else just maybe they are like the scientists in Iraq and Iran who “fiddled about unproductively” deliberately to stall Islamic weapons programs.
Time was it would’ve been illegal to sell such data but the mass marketers heavily pressured the government in the 1980s. And figures in government came to realize that it was easier to utilize such databases if they were held (in triplicate) in the hands of private companies (”the government maintains no such database on our citizens, blah blah blah”).
They aren’t supposed to be selling your social security number with that data but it happens.
And then so does rampant identity theft.
Utopian Coercives always fail. This bogus corporation is no exception.
The question is , was the failure purposeful? I believe it was. This failure is to create another exploitable crisis.
Read Saul Alinsky’s “Rules for Radicals” and it will become clear.

They were chosen based on the grand total of their contribution to the Barack Obama re-election campaign, and their voluntary donation to the Barry Soetero Retirement Fund.
