The Hawaii Department of Health claims to have an original copy of Barack Obama's birth certificate, right?
In fact, it is this established "fact" that has persuaded so many people there is nothing to the question of eligibility.
After all, an official in Hawaii has made a public pronouncement that she has inspected the document and declared on her own authority that Obama is a "natural born American" and thus eligible to serve as president.
For many Americans, that settles the question.
However, now a new version of the story is emerging.
The United Kingdom's Sky News reported Saturday: "Authorities in Hawaii have provided an electronic record of Obama's birth because the paper copy was destroyed in a fire which wiped out much of the state's archives."
Which is it?
Does Hawaii actually have an original long-form, paper birth certificate for Obama, or was it destroyed in a fire?
It seems the story is ever-changing.
And that's why it's time for Obama to come clean.
There is little question the heavily Democratic state of Hawaii has no interest in providing any information that would disqualify the first president claiming to be from that state.
If indeed the state has a copy of the original birth certificate, as Director of Health Dr. Chiyome Fukino claims, it should be no problem for Obama to give her permission to release it publicly – and, once and for all, settle the controversy that has resulted in that state being inundated with inquiries from curious American citizens.
Fukino has released two public statements on this matter.(continued)

It means there’s more to the story? Such as actual facts? lol
Wait...his father wasn’t American?
Why didn’t someone tell me this?
First it was every paper document was destroyed when they went to digital (horse hockey). Then it was stumbling all over themselves to avoid following their own laws. Then Fukino waving the record book at the tsunami gods to take it last week. And now we have a fire. BORE saw the BC so this fire must have happened in the last few months. Funny, CNN didn't report on it.
The list, ping
And, pray tell, what kind of congressional authority do they have? Might as well get the Iraqi dude at the local 7-11 to vet the next group of candidates.
Well, at least it’s marginally more entertaining then “My dog ate it.”

True!
There is also a copy of the BC in the county clerk’s office in Honolulu, Honolulu County, Hawaii. Back in the 80’s there was a federal grant to put county records on microfilm. A clerk would take the record book, place it on the microfilm copy machine and it would snap the picture. After X amount of pages, the final product is the microfilm. The county would have the exact information, though hand written and typed as the health department. If there was a mysterious fire, the information would not have been lost forever. Granted, at this point in time, you would be a fool to trust microfilm or digital. Heck, I wouldn’t believe the delivery doctor himself. But there are hospital records, county records, the doctor’s records, and then there’s that original BC Ayers, um, Hussein found at granny’s apartment.
That fire thing has been floating around forever. I doubt it’s true. has anyone investigated this? I thought it had been debunked.
Did he burn more than one birth certificate?
Original thread:
But then maybe, hopefully one day soon, the Intelligence Community will leak something to stir the pot.
Otherwise our last hope my lie with the National Inquirer.
two local papers at the time stated as much in their published birth announcements.

Well thank you. Whew I’m glad it’s finally settled. What a relief to now have proof. So we can just take our newspaper announcement and get a passport, drivers license, etc? Cool!
When my son was born we called and had the announcement put in the paper. Daughter, we forgot and she doesn’t have one.
Oh I believe it. There used to actually be investigative reporters. Now they’re just professional cheerleaders.
Oh, they’ll bury this somehow. That much is a certainty.
What makes you think Bill and Hill didn’t have the goods? It may have been a case of the Chicago/Soros machine against the Clinton machine. Who do you think would win?
If it was still possible to get a paper copy of a long form, original Hawaii birth certificate in 2008, 2009 or 2010, don’t you think tens of thousands of people would have already ordered them to force Obama’s hand?
Hawaii went paperless and computerized all vital records in 2001.
Bury what? The article is a little short on facts and long on unsubstantiated statements. I think I’ll wait “for the rest of the story”. Like some actual facts.
