Boo boo. It must not have been CNN:

BROKAW: You’re running against Barack Obama who has real roots in Hawaii, spent his summer break there. His granny is there. It’s going to be tougher for the Republicans isn’t it?

LINGLE: It will be tougher. Hawaii is a small state, they are very proud of anyone from home that does well, but honestly Tom, not too many people in Hawaii had heard of Barack Obama until he ran for president. Because as you know, as he was born there, he spent a very few years in school but they are very partial to people who were born in our home state. However, Senator McCain has tremendous ties to Hawaii. His father headed Pacific Command and of course Senator McCain met his wife Cindy on Waikiki Beach in Hawaii.

parsy, who knew he heard it somewhere

HAHA! Troll

In spite of facts to show the COLB is forged.

Blogger admits Hawaii birth certificate forgery, subverting Obama claims (Uh-oh)

You are just as treasonous as those who have helped ZERO get where he is. Maybe you can be the next CZARS.

Free Republic is no place for Obama lovers or Obama defenders.

I'm trying to find a link to any story that says that Lingle has seen the birth certificate. There are none. There are stories that report that she sealed the birth certificate, but nothing that ties Lingle's comments to having seen the certificate first-hand.

The first article you link only has a reference to Lingle having made statements. ("Birthers denounce the notion that Obama was born in Kapiolani Maternity & Gynecological Hospital in Honolulu on Aug. 4, 1961, despite court rulings and statements by Fukino and Hawaii's Republican governor, Linda Lingle.")

The second article you link only has the throwaway line " Because as you know, as he was born there..." which is not backed up by any evidence. Lingle could simply have been repeating what she heard Obama say. I do not know if this statement is what was being referred to in the above quote from the first link. It would be circular if it were -- one circumstantial comment used to validate another.

There is nothing that I have been able to find that has Lingle saying that she reviewed the evidence and can positively state based on her review that he was born in Hawaii.

Only Fukino has made a statement like that.
