If Okubo was paraphrased or quoted incorrectly, in her position as Director of Communications, she is perfectly capable of issuing a press release or holding a press conference to correct any misstatements. She didn’t and she hasn’t.

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.

When the St. Petersburg Times newspaper sent a copy of Obama’s COLB that they had received from the Obama campaign to Janice Okubo, here’s what happened:

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.

The poster was trying to fabricate a facade of authenticity for the affiramtive action fraud-in-chief. It is pratcied deceit. This particular poster has been playing these games for months at FR and become a protected species. Deceit is the game these obamanoids play.

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.
