Proof that Hawaii did not verify the information on Obama's birth certificate.

Star Bulletin ^ | sarah p

[sarah p]

To battle a spate of unsubstantiated rumors, including one that Obama is not a natural-born U.S. citizen, the Obama campaign launched a Web site called "Fight the Smears." It shows a copy of his Hawaii birth certificate.

Onaka said he has had many calls asking him to confirm Obama's birth certificate, but he cannot disclose such information: "Only Obama can consent to that."

[sarah p]

one of the main arguments that has been used by the press, courts, obama supporters, senators and many others has been that obama's birth certificate information has been verified by the state of hawaii.

this is proof that the state of hawaii has not verified the information in obama's birth certificate.

THIS ARTICLE NEEDS TO BE DISTRIBUTED TO AS MANY PEOPLE AS POSSIBLE ASAP!!!

So who is going to remove OObama from orifice since the Supremes have nixed this constitutional law and requirement?

[allmost]

The press quotes from the Hawaii officials only verified that he had one on record. Hawaii allowed for non native born to register there. It’s been suspect from the beginning. obama would have to really pi$$ some people off for it to come out. It just might though. dems are weasels. I’d just like to see the darn thing.

Just pinging a few who might find this of interest.

This is the small part that is relevant:

This correspondence to the Hawaiian Department of Health clarified the Chicago Tribune "Swamp Blog" story that willfully misleads readers:

"Perhaps you would comment on this exchange I had with the Dept of Health in Hawaii about your claims..

The Chicago tribune published the following on Nov 3rd:

“Does this mean Obama was born in Hawaii?

“Yes,” said Hawaii Health Department spokeswoman Janice Okubo, in both email and telephone interviews with the Tribune. “That’s what Dr. Fukino is saying.”

Can you please confirm the accuracy of this statement?

Is Dr Fukino categorically stating that Barack Obama was born in Hawaii?

Thank you for your inquiry. Hawaii State law protects the birth records of all individuals born in our state under all circumstances. State law prohibits the Department of Health from disclosing any information about a Hawaii vital record unless the requestor has a direct and tangible interest in the record. This includes verification of vital records and all the information contained in a record. Direct and tangible interest is determined by HRS-338-18(b)

Aloha,

Another argument goes, if there was a problem related to Obama's birth Hillary would have used it in the primary. Right?

Yet I don't recall Hillary mentioning Rev. Wright -- at least not before the alternate media revealed Wright's ranting against the U.S.

OTH, maybe Hillary feeeeeeeeeeeels the same way about our Country -- at least until she is able to "correct" the problems. I recall her saying something like that.

If there really is a problem related to Obama's eligibility you can bet Nasty Pelosi knows and is just waiting to get the ball rolling without any link to her. She would be president. Biden would be out too if BO was not eligible to run in the first place.

Couldn't have or Dr. Fukino would be violating state law:

State law prohibits the Department of Health from disclosing any information about a Hawaii vital record unless the requestor has a direct and tangible interest in the record.

"Any information" about a vital record would include verifying or telling anyone other than somebody with a tangible interest that Obama was born in Hawaii. It's a violation of law to disclose any information that may be on the birth record.

I'd like to term a new phrase..."Chicagocide". This describes the future "suicides" or "accidents" of those who keep pushing this issue.

MARK MY WORDS, this issue will go away, just like Vince Foster and Ron Brown did.

I predict things will get so bad we will pray for a return of the corrupt Clinton years.

Spot on. Not only our birth certificate, but every traffic violantion, divorce records, Police Blotter mentions, tax violation, neighbors’ complaints, our wieght, height, any pastic surgery or ailments, our school records from kindergarten through university and beyond, employment records, and so on.

Our lives would be an open book.

[little jeremiah]

Shoulda pinged you but you got here - my brain is not working lately. I hope it comes back on line soon.

Excerpts:

If a person goes to a Social Security office, for example, and presents a birth certificate from Hawaii, the office can input five pieces of information, access a secure database in Hawaii and get a "yes" or "no" answer on whether it is the same information, he said.

Amazing. Its becoming increasingly apparent that the lax laws in Hawaii were known to Obama. Kudos to him for knowing how to game the system and run through the loopholes.

Onaka said he is also working with passport offices and even the Little League Association on a system to verify birth certificates of the players to prove they are in the right age brackets.

But its not important to verify the birth certificates of a President who can launch a nuclear war. That's private info! Its important to verify a LITTLE LEAGUER, just not leaders of the free world. Riiighttt........

[Red Steel]

That's OK, since I watch these thread pretty closely. :-)

This Okubo/Chicago Swamp Tribune story that got recycled is TU'd and debunked.

[apocalypto]

bump!

After reading the article I went to the comments section where 17 comments are posted. They are rather interesting, suggesting that many mistakes have been made at DOH for years! Some also mentioned that people no longer have the option to even see a photocopy of their long form original vault copy birth certificate, and that race also caused problems especially in cases of adoption.

thanks for ping null.

I made that argument in the past. However on reconsideration, it may have been that Mrs. Clinton realized that revealing that Mr. Obama was not eligible for the office would have antagonized a large portion of the Democrat supporters - thus torpedoing her in the general election. It seemed like she (or her supporters) were trying to get McCain to carry her water on this issue - but McCain wouldn't bite (why? - I don't know ... just being a maverick I suppose).
It also seemed awfully strange how Mrs. Clinton weaseled into the Secretary of State position, and also got a lot of her former minions placed on the cabinet... Almost as if she had something that she was using to blackmail Mr. Obama.

Or his handlers.

But wait, there’s more. From the Chicago Trib. Here’s what the HI Health dept.’s official statement is regarding the COLB Doc released by the Obama campaign..

A statement of Health Department spokeswoman Janice Okubo (see Chicago Tribune, 10-31-08). Citing Hawaii state privacy laws, and guidance from the state attorney general, she said she, “was not permitted to confirm the authenticity of the certificate released by the Obama campaign.”
