The lone Republican in the Hawaii State Senate told a radio interviewer today he believes "the real issue" stopping Barack Obama from releasing his long-form birth certificate is something the president has to hide, perhaps even the name of his actual birth father.
Hawaii State Sen. Sam Slom further told the host of "Aaron Klein Investigative Radio" on WABC 770 AM in New York City that so long as Obama refuses to be transparent about his past, questions about the president's birth remain "a legitimate issue."
"My particular point of view – and why I haven't identified myself as a 'birther,' per se – is that [Obama] probably was born [in Hawaii] and that the real issue is not the birth certificate, but what's on the birth certificate," Slom told Klein.
Asked what that could be, Slom said, "It could have to do with what his name is on the birth certificate, who is actually listed as his father, the citizenship of the father."
He continued, "My belief is that there is a birth certificate, he was born here, but that there is information that for reasons known only to him he doesn't want released. If it were just the birth certificate, that would be one thing, but it's his school records, it's employment records. … Why would anybody, let alone the president of the United States, spend millions of dollars in legal fees to keep that hidden?"

No I hadn’t seen this one. This is a joke. This is an utter joke.
I’m passed the stage of anger. I passed the anger stage long before he got the nomination. We were screaming here on FR for someone to expose this.
No one took us seriously.
I’m a doctor. I’m not some conspiracy freak, but I can’t get hardly anyone took agree that something is wrong here. My brother, a smart man, thinks we’re all loons, and the Obama has the real BC and will expose it some time.
I tell him GREAT!!!!! I wish he would.
And if she took time off work from vice president of the largest Hawaiian bank. There should be a record of that.

Thank you, Dubya-M-DeesWent2SyriaStupid!
He's a little late to the party.
Curious that he's not questioning the identity of Barry's mother.
Don’t worry - I don’t believe you are a loon. You have your eyes wide open and you review and analyze what is important to you. If you are not willing to review any of the evidence that has been brought forward, then you are not willing to believe what we all believe here.
Don’t be too hard on your brother. Some people just don’t want to take the time our of their busy lives to fight this battle or for that matter research the issue. It’s easier just to believe all is good and move on with their lives.
My husband is one that wishes to not get involved in any of this. He believes there is an issue, but he would prefer not to discuss it. He just prefers to go about his business. I say that’s fine and I will fight the battle for him.
Just take comfort in knowing that there are many people like you out there that will fight this fight. My husbands whole family agrees with me and the same applies to my own immediate family. That helps too!
Keep your chin up!
You have raised an important point.
Obama isn’t black, and he isn’t brown. He’s as light as many cacausians.
Why does he go golfing so much? Not for the love of the game. He needs the sun to keep a tan.
Why no pictures of him shirtless on the beach last summer? Because they show tan lines.
Perhaps you should. Anyone who I've ever talked to who has had to deal with the law says it is one of the most illogical things Congress has ever enacted.
I’m accusing you of irrationality. You’re saying a hospital can publicly affirm a person was born there, and that they cannot publicly affirm the same person was born there.
Actually, it appears that the law says exactly that. You see, by displaying the letter, but not explicitly affirming its contents, the hospital is NOT affirming Obama's birth there in the eyes of the law, though to any reasonable person, is in fact affirming it.
As other posters have said, the law is irrational.
If Barack Obama Sr. was Barry’s father he would be a Jr. not a II as is written in the Birth Index.

good point
My son born in 1974 has Jr on his BC
it was more an accident than by design
But he could have changed it himself when he was of age but he didnt
But for Barry Dunham, the II might be a modern term placed there recently
but what if he was regarded as II in Kenya ???
A British flavor
almost royalty
Barak II
Barak the 2nd ???
thank you!
curiosity, you are the biggest Obama-apologist on all of FR. Your devotion to him is scary. I have attempted to reason with you in the past, but your irrationality is impenetrable. I don’t know why you use FR to relentlessly defend this shady, dishonest, deceitful man. You do, though, and it sets you apart. You are unlike any Freeper I’ve ever met. You get almost rabid when someone challenges the honesty and integrity of your man. It’s almost like a mental condition. It’s certainly beyond anything I can offer. Perhaps Corsi’s book will help. We’ll just have to wait and see what’s in it.
In another thread someone had the story of one of stan Anns friends in seattle
The story went that she was waiting there in seattle until the baby was old enough to travel by air to Boston so they could join the Baby Daddy Obama Sr...
the same friend had just finished explaining that Stan Ann and barry had come from Hawaii to Seattle
My immediate thought was wait
The baby could travel fr5om Hawaii to Seattle (about 3000 miles) OK at age a few days but couldnt travel the same distance a few weeks later to Boston ???
Why didnt she just travel on all the way though the 1st time if the story was real ???
or again WAIT in Hawaii with Granny where she would have help and a place to stay until he was old enough to travel anywhere ???
or why not treavel to Boston WITH the Baby Daddy who would be there to help...
What man would leave his helpless wife and brand new baby to fend for themselves ???
Too many holes...
WOW
Wez got tan
Wez paleface unda teh clothes
Looky at the darker face and arms in #224
I’m telling you that violating HIPAA law carries a huge fine, and they can’t affirm 0bama was born there based on any medical records. I’ve also said that I’m not a lawyer, and I’d need one to untangle whether reading the letter was a violation or not, as it is outside of any medical records.
If you can’t understand that, I’m sorry for you. Or if you just want to argue for the heck of it, I’ve got better things to do.
And if they affirmed 0bama was born there, why is it still in question?
Your argument is that the hospital can confirm Obama was born there, but can’t confirm he was born there.
And you feel sorry for me.
Okay.
The Seattle sighting definitely is a tough one for Obama to explain within the confines of his official narrative. It makes that Blaine, WA conspiracy theory sound downright plausible: http://209.157.64.200/focus/news/2674603/posts?page=210#210
You have given a very good example of how difficult the HIPAA law can make things - sorry you had to go through that.
It may be that Obama can’t legally give permission for his mother’s records to be released. I just don’t know what the procedure is for dead people’s records.
For someone deceased, the executor can get the records, or someone designated the personal representative. If the deceased hasn't designated a representative, and the request comes from someone other than executor, it can get messy. So the question comes up - who was Stanley Ann's executor?
So when I provide factual material about the HIPAA law, I’m a troll? Would you prefer pandering lies to make you feel better?
Or maybe you enjoyed seeing episodes like when Rep Leo Berman went on Anderson Cooper and was made to look foolish when he claimed there was a Pakistan travel ban?
