Palmer knows full well that no Hawaii official has ever said that he's Hawaiian born, only that the proper paperwork in on file.

I, Dr. Chiyome Fukino, director of the Hawai'i State Department of Health, have seen the original vital records maintained on file by the Hawai'i State Department of Health verifying Barrack Hussein Obama was born in Hawai'i...

I guess it depends on your definition of the word "verifying".

"have seen the original vital records maintained"

Vital records, hmmmm. Why not just come out and say "we saw barrys original birth certificate?

Another unanswered question....why spend so much money keeping it hidden? And why go through such trouble of covering up all past records?

Touché!

Thanks. I’m apparently a week behind.

This Democrat Fukino may be using weasel words by referring to “vital records’ rather than “vault copy.” We’ve already seen what pass for acceptable vital records in Hawaii.

Okay, so this was a quite recent thing. If, for the sake of argument, we take it for granted that Fukino's statement was not misinformed or suborned, and that he was, indeed, born in Hawaii, then the question remains about why, on this issue, Obama has been completely obfuscatory. One thing is that his records in Hawaii would also contain the records of his adoption by Lolo Soetoro when Barry's mother gave up her citizenship to become his wife under Indonesian law. Under U.S. law at the time, the child's citizenship (Barry's) followed that of the custodial parent (Stanley), meaning that he also became an Indonesian citizen and that if he ever did regain his U.S. citizenship, it would only have been as a naturalized citizen, one ineligible to hold the office of President. Now, that's something he'd really want to hide.
