It was Dr. Chiyome Fukino, the Hawaii Department of Health Director before Loretta Fuddy who first verified the Obama birth certificate.
That verification was on October 31, 2008:

Then there was a second verification issued by Director Fukino on July 27, 2009:

Dr. Fukino also did a television news interview about the original, vault edition birth certificate: http://youtu.be/e9D4n6_Uifk
Additionally there’s the statement of former Hawaii Governor Linda Lingle:
“You know, during the campaign of 2008, I was actually in the mainland campaigning for Sen. McCain. This issue kept coming up so much in the campaign, and again I think it’s one of those issues that is simply a distraction from the more critical issues that are facing the country. And so I had my health director, who is a physician by background, go personally view the birth certificate in the birth records of the Department of Health, and we issued a news release at that time saying that the president was, in fact, born at Kapi’olani Hospital in Honolulu, Hawaii. And that’s just a fact. And yet people continue to call up and e-mail and want to make it an issue. And I think it’s, again, a horrible distraction for the country by those people who continue this. ... It’s been established. He was born here.”

Really? That must be news to all the "news" outlets.
And so I had my health director, who is a physician by background, go personally view the birth certificate in the birth records of the Department of Health..
In other words, Linda Lingle never viewed squat.
Here you go again, acting like the word of a politician is sacrosanct. Where do you get this idea? Is it possible you’ve never noticed that politicians lie? If you have, then how do you know when they’re lying and when they’re telling the truth? Are they just telling the truth when they say something you want to hear? Is that your demarcator?
Why are you so hellbent on legitimizing Obama’s birth narrative? Are you unaware that he lies pathologically, and that he has lied specifically about his nativity tale? Why then do you pop up every time it’s mentioned, claiming Obama’s story is totally accurate & verified? Why are you so emotionally invested in validating Obama on this point?
Perhaps you are unaware that Obama claimed to be born in Kenya. He told his own literary agent that’s where he was born. So while you’re knocking yourself out to legitimize Obama’s HI birth, just bear in mind Obama himself was & remains the original birther. That is a fact; deal w it.
So, if Fuddy was paid $50,000, then how much did Fukino get?
Do you also believe that Fukino was involved in the creation of the forgery?
