You don’t hold a press conference to correct how you were paraphrased by a newspaper reporter. If she’s comfortable with her direct quotes (that don’t say much of anything), then she wouldn’t be compelled to do anything at all.

Skip down a few paragraphs: “Still, she {Okubo} acknowledges: “I don’t know that it’s possible for us to even say beyond a doubt what the image on the site represents.” Okubo’s only measure of validity was that it looked ‘real’ because she said it looked like her own certificate. She didn’t cite an official procedure for ascertaining the legitimacy of the jpg she was sent. Try showing her a counterfeit $20 bill and see how she responds.


However since her boss has confirmed that Obama was born in Hawaii, Okubo’s failure to verify a photoshopped image on a web site is irrelevant and it was not her job to verify web site images but only the original documents, which the state of Hawaii has done.

If Spokesbabe Okubo was competent, she would have immediately explained that she had no business commenting on a jpg or comparing it to her own birth certificate (unless hers is fake too). Okubo's 'boss' didn't say anything about Obama being born in Hawaii until more than a year later ... and there's no 'confirmed' there unless the public gets a chance to see what documents allegedly confirm the place of birth.
