The news media is quickly moving to protect Barack Obama against Donald Trump’s pursuit of the truth about Barack Obama’s birth certificate and Obama’s place of birth.
Michael Isikoff of MSNBC has reported that Dr. Chiyome Fukino is now claiming that she has actually seen Barack Obama’s original birth certificate on file in Honolulu.
As the top Hawaiian official in charge of state health records in 2008, when the issue of Obama's birth first arose, Fukino said she thought she had put the matter to rest. Contacted by NBC, Fukino expanded on previous public statements and made two key points when asked about Trump's recent comments.
The first is that the original so-called "long form" birth certificate — described by Hawaiian officials as a "record of live birth" — absolutely exists, located in a bound volume in a file cabinet on the first floor of the state Department of Health. Fukimo [Fukino] said she has personally inspected it — twice. The first time was in late October 2008, during the closing days of the presidential campaign, when the communications director for the state's then Republican governor, Linda Lingle (who appointed Fukino) asked if she could make a public statement in response to claims then circulating on the Internet that Obama was actually born in Kenya.
This is all very curious. Back in January, Hawaii Governor Neil Abercrombie was unable to locate Obama’s birth certificate. The Daily Mail reported,
He [Governor Abercrombie] told Honolulu's Star-Advertiser: 'It actually exists in the archives, written down,' he said.
But it became apparent that what had been discovered was an unspecified listing or notation of Obama's birth that someone had made in the state archives and not a birth certificate.
And in the same interview Abercrombie suggested that a long-form, hospital-generated birth certificate for Barack Obama may not exist within the vital records maintained by the Hawaii Department of Health.
One has to wonder why Governor Abercrombie did not ask Dr. Chiyome Fukino to show him Obama’s birth certificate?
Let us assume that Barack Obama was born in Hawaii and has a duly registered birth certificate. Why does Obama not want us to see his birth certificate? Why have more than $2 million been spent in legal fees to keep this birth certificate from public view?
What is on Obama’s birth certificate that Obama does not want seen?
Donald Trump appeared on “The View” on Thursday morning 24 March. Dave Eberhart of Newsmax.com reported the next day,
On "The View," a morning chat program, Trump declared that he believed Obama has a birth certificate, but that he should produce it to the world, ending the speculation that seems to never go away. Trump added that he felt it strange that "nobody from [Obama's] early years remembers him."
There’s "something on that birth certificate that he doesn't like," Trump opined to the cast members, including Whoopi Goldberg and Barbara Walters, who berated him, accusing him of possibly racist thoughts on the issue.
Rush Limbaugh and others are coming to the support of Donald Trump.
On Limbaugh’s show Thursday, the radio talker Limbaugh sided with Trump’s beating of the birth certificate drum. "You and I have known all along that we're dealing with a man-child here who has, literally, no qualifications, no experience, and according to Donald Trump now, no birth certificate," Limbaugh declared.
"Trump is performing a valuable service here. He is attempting to help Obama out of a jam. You can't say Trump is a kook right-wing birther. Trump realized the problem that Obama faces here with credibility. He's giving him a chance here to establish some credibility by producing the birth certificate,” Limbaugh added.
Charging that elements of the major media were "covering it up" and "papering it over," he concluded: “Trump's not the kind of guy to comb over difficulties. If he's going to bring this up . . . you know that it's serious."
Either Obama’s birth certificate does not exist or it has something typed or written on it that Obama does not want to be revealed. What could it be?
It is also perplexing that Obama has sealed his college transcript from Columbia and his law school transcript from Harvard Law School. What is Obama hiding in his transcripts?
Why do Obama’s classmates from Columbia not remember seeing Obama in classes? It seems he was an invisible man during his time at Columbia?
There are two hospitals in Honolulu where it has been claimed that Obama was born. Why do both hospitals claim they have no record of Obama’s birth? Why has the doctor who delivered Obama not come forth to take credit? Why have no nurses who were present at the delivery of Obama, or took care of him and his mother following his birth, come forward?
It seems that there is a lot of Liberal smoke and mirrors taking place? If a Barack Obama birth certificate exists, it would be a simple matter for Obama to show it for all to see?
Why is so much ridicule being expended to discredit those who want answers? Why are lawyers working hard to keep Obama’s secrets hidden? Whatever happened to that transparent Administration of President Obama that we were promised?
Donald Trump’s courage is looking better all the time. We are in for some very interesting debates and battles over the Obama birth certificate unless Barack Obama can somehow silence Donald Trump.
So far the speculation has not been worse than reality. They need another puppy IMO. Just enough mayhem to chew up any remnants.
Barack H. Obama Sr. could not have transmitted his nationality to the person calling himself "Obama" unless he was legally married to "Obama" s mother - which seems very unlikely.
Under centuries of common law, affirmed by the British Nationality Act of 1948 and not yet overturned by the US Supreme Court's Gomez v. Perez (1973) case, bastards have no fathers.
With Palin, Trump, and Obama...
Trump and Palin both have more than enough money to do that. Heck, they could get Bristol to do that in a few hours, for minimum wage.
Meanwhile, the mainstream news media might fail to report the unexplained death of a temp worker who “tried to break in” to the social security number database a few months ago. All the records were preserved. No, all the records were preserved but one.
No, not that one. That one has no records.
Well, it does have a record, but it is not important.
Well, if you need the details, then you are a racist.
Donald Trump is a racist (again).
Palin too even though she is birther-agnostic. That’s not good enough. You must (a) believe and (b) state so, unequivocably, in public.
Move along, there is nothing to see here, it is old news.
(...Did I cover it all?)
What a very convenient state to use to cover something up. “Here’s his BC right here.” “That’s only a seashell with some lines on it.” “Yes, but in our language it means the o was born right here, just as he says he was.”
“I am sure that Rush is quite up to speed on the issue.”
No, he isn’t. I’ve heard him equate “native born” as being the same as “natural born citizen”. Rush knows squat about the subject.
Issue arrest warrant for Fukimo. The charge: Conspiracy to defraud.
Fukino's first statement on 10.31.2008:
"There have been numerous requests for Sen. Barack Hussein Obama’s official birth certificate. State law (Hawai‘i Revised Statutes §338-18) prohibits the release of a certified birth certificate to persons who do not have a tangible interest in the vital record," DOH Director Dr. Chiyome Fukino said.
"Therefore, I as Director of Health for the State of Hawai‘i, along with the Registrar of Vital Statistics who has statutory authority to oversee and maintain these type of vital records, have personally seen and verified that the Hawai‘i State Department of Health has Sen. Obama’s original birth certificate on record in accordance with state policies and procedures," Fukino said.

Fukino's second statement on o7.29.09
"I, Dr. Chiyome Fukino, director of the Hawaii State Department of Health, have seen the original vital records maintained on file by the Hawaii State Department of Health verifying Barack Hussein Obama was born in Hawaii and is a natural-born American citizen. I have nothing further to add to this statement or my original statement issued in October 2008 over eight months ago...."
(http://www.usatoday.com/news/nation/2009-07-27-obama-hawaii_N.htm)
No where in these two quotes does Fukino state that he has seen the actual, original long form birth certificate and that according to that document, Odumbo was born in Hawaii and that bothhis parents were United States citizens at the time of ODumbo's birth.
The mainstream media’s case is absurd on its face and always has been:
Do you know why I pulled you over, sir?
No, officer.
Please produce your driver’s license and registration.
Officer, all the information you need is on my political campaign website.
Please produce your driver’s license and registration.
Officer, why are you profiling me? Is it because I am black?? Are you a racist??
Obama was adopted by his stepfather, Lolo Soetoro.
The name Soebarkha Soetoro, lined through, had been on his mother’s passport renewal form. (This form was included with the FOIA docments requested from the State Dept. You can find the full story on www.thepostemail.com .)
This is important. It indicates he was adopted by his stepfather, had an Indonesian identity, and since we know he traveled between Hawaii and Indonesia must have had his own Indonesian passport.
When his mother abandoned him in 1971, just dumping him on his grandparents, he was known as Barry, or Bar. This would be consistent as a ‘nickname’ for Soebarkha.
His school records at Punahou are sealed, as are those at Occidental College. But people still remember him by the name, Barry Soetoro while at Occidental.
As an adult of 20 and 21 (1981-1982) he traveled to Pakistan. He himself said he never had a U.S. passport until he was in the U.S.Congress. So he must have used his Indonesian passport to travel to Pakistan. As an adult he would have had to repudiated all other nationalities and sworn allergen's to Indonesia.
The BC in Hawaii's DOH vault is an adoption BC. I sincerely doubt there ever existed an original.
If any of what I’ve said here turns out to be inaccurate, I will be surprised.
I thought Rush was up to speed, but hearing him last Friday infuriated me. I was yelling at him through the radio.
“No, he isn’t. I’ve heard him equate “native born” as being the same as “natural born citizen”. Rush knows squat about the subject._____________________________________
That’s just an error in semantics.
I am sure Rush knows more then you give him credit for.
Yes, Rush is a bit late to the party, but probably a firm believer in the old saying, “Better to look like a fool then to open one’s mouth and remove all doubt”.
None of us have solid PROOF of anything yet.
I stopped listening to Rush a couple years ago when he wouldn’t address the NBC issue. He was solely dedicated to attacking Obama on the “issues”.
But he lies about everything.
So he must have used his Indonesian passport to travel to Pakistan. As an adult he would have had to repudiated all other nationalities and sworn allergen's to Indonesia.
Do you know for a fact that Indonesian nationals who are minors must, on attaining majority, swear an oath? Or is that merely speculation?
I look at the whole "Indonesia" pod as a red herring. IF he were a US citizen at birth, nothing done or undone by the government of Indonesia could have affected his status. Conversely, if he were NOT a US citizen at birth, no actions by Indonesia could have made him one.
I very much doubt that, if this ever gets before a court, that Vattel will appear as a witness.
I think it boils down to this: If he were a US citizen at birth, he stays, if he were not, he goes - and I don't think we will find out in the next 575 days, when the people get to decide.

“He was solely dedicated to attacking Obama on the “issues”.”
_________________________________
In the business, that is called playing it safe.
It is hard to attack when you have no proof, and not so hard to be made to look like a fool.
I would have loved for Rush to have been in the early birther
gang, but he not the only one to come late to the party.
Anyway, do you have a problem with “attacking Obama on the issues”?
LOL!
In July of 2007, the Democratic Party sent a representative to Jakarta, Indonesia, to buy up all the documents and photographs pertaining to Barak Obama and the Soetoro family. They spent nearly $200,000.00.
Do you honestly believe, if nothing of import existed in Indonesia concerning a little boy who left there at age 10, that the Democrats would do such a thing?
Those idiots in the DNC are risking their lives on the Obama gambit. I hope it blows up in their faces.
In the upper right hand corner of the screen you will find {search}. Type in Satindoll, then click user; you will find my posts for the past day and what I’ve been doing, so yes, I attack Obama on the issues.
Yeah, I don’t mind attacking Obama on the issues. But people relate better to scandal, crime, treason, and other nefarious issues, too. It gets their ‘blood’ up.
Obama wasn’t born in the U.S.A. — he has had more that enough time to come up with a really accurate forgery for a BC. Maybe he will yet, but I don’t think he’s been able to cobble one together.
” As an adult he would have had to repudiated all other nationalities and sworn allergen’s to Indonesia.”
And probably went to college on foreign aid, due to his being
able to state that he factually is a foreigner.....
“Obama wasn’t born in the U.S.A. — he has had more that enough time to come up with a really accurate forgery for a BC.”
That is quite possible, but equally possible is that
his father was not a citizen.
I prefer that it be that he was born in Kenya, or Indonesia,
as nabbing him on who his father was might be problematic.
A b/c forgery would be quite hard, since the original starts in the hospital, and has signatures of doctor and mother.
What hospital would vouch for it?
