The birth was reported a week later (August 13, 1961) in the newspaper.

Has anyone ever seen a live full newspaper of that date. None, as far as I know, has ever been discovered. Instead, all have is the same exact picture, used in every place, that is supposed to confirm the newspaper. All I see is a potential photoshop.

I have heard this theory expressed before, but I put no stock in it. I believe that if actual copies of those old Newspapers are ever found, they will reflect what is on the microfiche.

The original discovery of the birth notices was done at the Hawaii State Library by a Hillary Clinton supporter named Lori Starfelt, a documentary film maker, and then the notices were confirmed at the University of California, Berkeley Library by John Charlton, a supporter of the Obama is ineligible movement.
“Obama’s Birth Announcement in 1961, confirmed”

In a Nov. 9, 2008 story in the Advertiser, the Star-Bulletin’s former managing editor Dave Shapiro discussed the paper’s policy for accepting birth announcements.
From an article in the Honolulu Advertiser on Nov. 9, 2008: “Advertiser columnist and former Star-Bulletin managing editor Dave Shapiro was not at either paper in 1961, but he remembers how the birth notices process worked years later when both papers were jointly operated by the Hawaii Newspaper Agency — which no longer exists. “Those were listings that came over from the state Department of Health,” he said. “They would send the same thing to both papers.”
