The first article you link only has a reference to Lingle having made statements. ("Birthers denounce the notion that Obama was born in Kapiolani Maternity & Gynecological Hospital in Honolulu on Aug. 4, 1961, despite court rulings and statements by Fukino and Hawaii's Republican governor, Linda Lingle.")
The second article you link only has the throwaway line " Because as you know, as he was born there..." which is not backed up by any evidence. Lingle could simply have been repeating what she heard Obama say. I do not know if this statement is what was being referred to in the above quote from the first link. It would be circular if it were -- one circumstantial comment used to validate another.
There is nothing that I have been able to find that has Lingle saying that she reviewed the evidence and can positively state based on her review that he was born in Hawaii.
Only Fukino has made a statement like that.

I have no idea whether she saw it or not. I have to suspect she snuck a look at it, because heck, I would have. All Iknow is what was reported, that she said he was born in Hawaii.
parsy, who is sorry he has nothing else
