Yes, as I noted, a few sources did say that, apparently erroneously. Kapi’olani appears to have been accepted as the place of birth in Hawaii. But in any event, both delivered babies in 1961.

The press once reported that Queens hospital was the birth place for Obama until people working on Obama's behalf changed that to Kapiʻolani. So what hospital was Obama born in? Are they lying now or were the lying before? Or are both hospital stories lies? ...LoL.

Wrong. One sloppy reporter working for UPI, using only Wikipedia to check his facts, mistakenly wrote in a single article that it was Queens. This was the only news outlet to make this mistake. Every other mainstream news source has consistently reported that it was Kapiolani.

And no, a student newsletter put out by some high school in Honolulu doesn't count as a mainstream news source.

until people working on Obama's behalf changed that to Kapiʻolani.

Obama and every single member of his family has always maintained that he was born in Kapiolani, the mistakes of sloppy reporters notwithstanding.
