CNN says that Hawaii couldn't have verified Obama's Original B.C. last year--who's lying?
Count Us Out ^

CNN President Jon Klein sent an e-mail to staffers of “Lou Dobbs Tonight” just as the program went to air, informing them that CNN researchers had determined that Hawaiian officials discarded all paper documents in 2001

TVNewser has learned CNN/U.S. president Jon Klein sent an email to a handful of “Lou Dobbs Tonight” staffers last night regarding the coverage of the so-called birthers and the validity of Pres. Obama’s birth in the U.S.

In part, Klein writes, “It seems this story is dead- because anyone who still is not convinced doesn’t really have a legitimate beef.” Klein asked CNN researchers to dig into the question of why Obama couldn’t produce the original birth certificate. The researchers contacted the Hawaii Health Dept. and confirmed that paper documents were discarded in 2001 when the department went paperless. That reportedly includes Pres. Obama’s original birth certificate.

My Researcher:

October 2008, Hawaiian officials reported that they had personally verified the existence of Barack Obama’s original birth certificate: State officials say there’s no doubt Barack Obama was born in Hawaii.

Health Department Director Dr. Chiyome Fukino says she and the registrar of vital statistics, Alvin Onaka, have personally verified that the health department holds Obama’s original birth certificate.

Fukino says that no state official, including Gov. Linda Lingle, ever instructed that Obama’s certificate be handled differently from any other. She says state law bars release of a certified birth certificate to anyone who does not have a tangible interest in it.

WHY ALL THE LIES? SOMETHING IS FISHY. THEY DISCARDED IT 8 YEARS AGO, YET SEEN IT IN 2008?

Isn’t the statement from Hawaiian officals the ONLY counter-argument they have to the Birthers?

Could things be starting to fall apart for “The messiah”?

There was a lot of discussion earlier today.
As pointed out. Even if they destroyed the paper copy of
his original birth certificate, a copy MUST, by law, be
on microfilm, or some other storage.

My guess is that both CNN and Hawaiian officials are lying through their teeth to protect this scumbag.

Fact is, if it existed Obama would be the first one to publicly display it.

Of course. Another very good point. You move information to another media when you go ‘paperless.’

But, they have just neutered their argument that Hawaiian officials verified any ORIGINAL birth certificate.

So the Hawaiian Govt. just got rid of all official documents on births because why? Other states have also rid themselves of paper docs, they just scanned in the originals. I was going to say I can’t possibly see a govt ridding themselves of official docs, then I remembered this is nObama’s America now.

Some states have a microfiche image of the original long form, from which the certified copy is created, and some have information pulled from a database and printed onto the form to make a certified copy. I believe it varies from state to state. Are there any Freepers here with PA birth certificates?

Exactly. So evident the press cannot even sniff out a story and make some reporters career scoop.

I looked at ‘Juan McCain's’ on line. They vetted him thoroughly. Obama’s (if that's even his name) entire life is blacked out.

Not if it proves that he's ineligible to be President. In that case, he'd stall and refuse to release it - just like he's doing.

because anyone who still is not convinced doesn’t really have a legitimate beef.

This guy is president of CNN, but is somehow completely unaware of the lawsuit brought by an officer on the grounds the President is not a legitimate citizen, and therefore cannot order him to deploy, and that a retired General has joined the lawsuit??

To me, this issue is the 'failsafe' card in the deck if Obama turns out to actually be an enemy of the Republic. He has already sided with the known despots and tyrants of the world, especially in our own hemisphere. Stands against the Honduran Constitutional Law, and for a Chavez wannabe. Anyone aspiring to become President must be able to prove beyond any shadow of a doubt that the are born in this country.

He gets too wild on the Marxist side... we have this one more thing to impeach him with.

I think more importantly, if this is true, why did they lie last year and say they verified his ‘Original Birth Certificate’ is on file? Who asked them to lie?

Well, we know who.

Well, yeah... which is why I don’t think it exists. Probably destroyed instead of risked being leaked.

Oh, how ~convenient~.

*If* a copy is ever produced, it will be on *new* paper with *new* ink...and undoubtedly “altered” because you can alter *anything* that’s stored electronically.

Forensic examination will be useless because of the modernity of the printed copy.

Bet we see the “real” long form “proof” soon and the stupid sheep will swallow it.

Quite an evil, devious yet cruelly brilliant bit of plausible denial, IMO.
