A lot of things in 2008 were based on preliminary information, I personally believe right now Obama’s right to privacy can be negated by the current known circumstances, especially the large percentage of Americans who doubt his eligibility and place of birth. In other words the case has ripened and should be followed through to fruition.
I suspect the next few weeks will shine more light on the situation. Obie knows the truth is coming, its just a matter of when and how.
Obama doesn’t have a traditional right to privacy. He’s what is legally known as a public figure. As president, he is expected to release records such as tax returns and health records, and anything else that would be in the public interest.
When Obama For America posted his COLB image online at FactCheck.org, they publicly disclosed confidential/private information from his Hawaii vital records. Then when officials of Hawaii released statements about Obama’s birth, they too publicly disclosed confidential information. The disclosure of such information negated, by law, the legal ability of the Hawaii DoH to refuse to release official copies of Obama’s COLB.
According to Hawaii’s laws, once you make it public or make a public statement about it, the data is no longer private and the public is therefore entitled to see it. Hawaii is ignoring the law.
