Was the omission simply a clerical error, or did Onaka omit Obama's birth date on purpose?
Did Bennett accidentally leave Obama's birth date off of his list, or did he leave it off on purpose?
How about this theory: The "verification" of Obama's birth date---Aug. 4, 1961--- was the sticking point that Bennett and Hawaii officials could not agree on for all those weeks, and that is why Bennett had to reword his request and why Obama's birth date is conspicuously missing from Onaka's verification form. That is, Hawaii officials did not want to include Obama's birth date on its "verification" form, while Bennett wanted it included.
To me, without verification of Obama's birth date, Hawaii's "verification" form is incomplete, almost worthless.
Can Bennett correct his "mistake" by contacting Hawaii again and seeking a "verification" from Onaka of Obama's birth date of Aug. 4, 1961?
Did Bennett accidentally leave Obama's birth date off of his list, or did he leave it off on purpose?
I posed those very questions to Bennett and got these answers :
Did you originally ask for verification of the Date of birth ?
Yes
If so, why was that excluded from the verification ? Was it at the suggestion of the Hawaii Attorney General or Director of Health ?
2. a. I don’t know why it was excluded. I assume it was an error by whoever typed the verification.
b. No.
Finally, how can you accept verification as true when the second most important piece of information used to verify a birth ( the name being the most ) is missing from the verification ?
4. All of the other data points on the verification, including the dates, clearly show that they are verifying the birth certificate posted on their website and referenced in the Directors’ letters.
I responded with a follow up letter ( have not received an answer yet ) with these two questions :
Question 2 . If there was an error in the typing of the verification, then the verification IS NOT VALID.
Question 4: You did not answer the question. The question was, how can you accept verification as true when the key piece of information you need to verify a birth document - THE DATE OF BIRTH - is missing ? It doesn't matter if all the other fields match. The key field, THE DATE OF BIRTH is missing. That missing field invalidates any "verification" of the certificate presented on their website, which incidentally they did NOT verify as a true and accurate copy.

Now considering his answer to question 2 in my first letter, he is either spouting complete bull or is completely incompetent.
