Funny, but Gov. Lingle told an outright lie. Neither her department of health nor state issued a news release saying Obama was born in Kapiolani Hospital. Why do you think her comments are credible??
Nobody, and I truly mean NOBODY of any political note has called Governor Lingle a “liar” and intelligent people fully understand the appropriate context of what she was saying:
When Dr. Fukino reported back to the governor, she mentioned that the birth certificate said “Kapi’olani Medical Center” as the birth hospital.
As long as the Republican administration in Hawaii continues to back Obama on his birth there 100% there’s not much that can happen.
The real question remains: why would a Republican Governor who endorsed John McCain and delivered one of Sarah Palin’s endorsement speeches at the Republican National Convention lie for a leftist Democrat like Barack Obama?
No, actually no parsing of words is required to see that she lied. Her statement is factually untrue despite a declaration in positive form.
When Dr. Fukino reported back to the governor, she mentioned that the birth certificate said “Kapi’olani Medical Center” as the birth hospital.
Feel free to provide your evidence of this.

Because the lie was made AFTER Obama became president and because the lack of documentary proof to support Obama's claim of eligibility is a black eye for Lingle's state.
