One other thing. The logical place for a long-form birth certificate to be would be the HDOH. I can only presume Abercrombie went with a search warrant to the hospitals rather than to the HDOH because he had already checked the HDOH for it and found nothing. Which fits his statement to a reporter that a recording of Obama’s birth was actually written down in the archives.
Seems like the sequence of looking would have been: HDOH, hospitals, archives.
I’ve got the retention schedules for documents and I should look again; there was only one kind of record that was actually sent to the archives; everything else was to be retained at the HDOH office.
OK. I looked it up. The only 2 kinds of records that are allowed to be transferred to the State Records Center are the master microfilms of Registrations of Foreign Birth (p 1 of retention schedule) and the security microfilms for Certificates of Hawaiian Birth once the records are 75 years old (p 5 of retention schedule).
Obama’s not 75 years old yet (as far as we know. lol) So it seems like if what Abercrombie said is accurate (big if, I know), what they have for Obama in the Archive is a microfilm for a registration of foreign birth.
I thought I had posted the HDOH Retention Schedule on my blog but I hadn’t so I posted it just now. It’s at http://butterdezillion.files.wordpress.com/2011/02/doh-records-retention-schedules.pdf
What we know for absolutely certain sure: they’re lying.
What we don’t know: why.
If that be birtherism, make the most of it.
