Dr. Chiyome Fukino Issues Another “Transparency Dodger” Statement on President Obama’s Birth Certificate
The issue of what Dr. Fukino actually viewed to make the determination that the President was in fact Hawaii born is quite relevant, since the State of Hawaii switched all of its birth records from hard copy to digital in 2001.
Almost all news commentators, including Chris Mathews of MSNBC recently, have assumed that Dr. Fukino’s October 31, 2008 statement meant she had physically viewed the original hard copy of the President’s 1961 birth certificate. Yesterday’s statement seems to indicate it is more likely that Dr. Fukino viewed an electronic record and not a physical hard copy, but it is still not definitive.
though primary evidence of his birth in Hawaii is thought to exist in hard copy form in Kapiolani Hospital (which he claims as his birthplace) this data has not been released.
The State of Hawaii Department of Health Statements, rather than shedding light on the source of primary evidence in their possession, have fueled suspicions that information is being withheld. And, in fact, some relevant information has been withheld.
