Thank you. I actually joined last March. Though I only post sporadically.
what did Hawaii affirm?
On the basic fact-in-issue regarding eligibility, the Hawaii Dept. of Health, per Dr. Onaka, stated:
“[I] verify the following:
1. A birth certificate is on file with the Department of Health indicating that Barack Hussein Obama, II was born in Honolulu, Hawaii.”
So as to the question "Was Barack Obama born in Hawaii?" that statement is about as simple and direct an affirmation that Hawaii's vital records indicate "Yes" as one can draft.
Baloney
1. A birth certificate is on file with the Department of Health indicating that Barack Hussein Obama, II was born in Honolulu, Hawaii
It doesn’t affirm who submitted the information or when and if it was verified.
Grandma could have submitted a form “indicating” you were born in Hawaii.
that statement is about as simple and direct an affirmation that Hawaii’s vital records indicate “Yes” as one can draft.
that statement is about as sketchy and non informative as one can draft
Very carefully threading the needle, aren’t you?
The birth record would show “the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth”. Would the record include the hand written “notations” Abercrombie refers to?
“I’ve got chunks of guys like you in my stool!” Phil Hartman as Frank Sinatra on Saturday Night Live.
I didn’t think it would come to this, but enough is enough. You’re about the nine hundred and tenth Obama disinformation agent to adorn the auspicious pages of FR.
Obama will be revealed for the confederate that he is (further).
Nice try David.
And from every perusal I have ever made of your posting history, it is always on this one subject, and nothing else.

Not at all. A much better affirmation would be the one Hawaii used routinely for so many Years before Obama gained political power.
"I certify this document to be a true and correct copy of the original record."
What Hawaii affirmed is that the information they printed on the document produced, matches the information which is in their records. It doesn't prove it to be true, and it doesn't prove it to be the ORIGINAL information in their records.
Even were it that, as probably the only state in the Union who will give a birth certificate to the children of Hawaii residents no matter where said child is born, a statement that it was original information still does not count as proof because Hawaii routinely and as a matter of state law, gives out birth Hawaiian birth certificates to people not born there.
