Slightly OT- Republicans when confronted by the media to vouch for Barry , often say they believe or take Obama at his word
when he says he was born in Hawaii.
I know Obama made a passing and non sequitur reference to
“ the hospital where I was born “ when describing his singular visit with BHO Sr
in Dreams.
Do we have any documented evidence of Obama himself ever actually saying he was born in Hawaii ?

Yes.
Obama wrote a letter to Kapi’olani Medical Center for Women and Children in Honolulu for publication in their Centennial Anniversary Publication in which he refers to Kapi’olani as “the place of my birth.”
Here’s a link to that publication, the Obama statement is on page one in the right hand column and the whole letter is on Page Six.

And for the record, Speaker of the House John Boehner’s comment was “THE STATE OF HAWAI’I has said that President Obama was born there. That’s good enough for me.”

You credit Obama with the statement in “Dreams” that refers to a hospital place of birth.

That assumes that Obama wrote the book, which is questionable.

For that matter, the book’s characterization as a biography is also suspect.

Considering that the narrative is full of errors and half-truths when compared to what scarce evidence we know about the man’s life, it’s more likely a work of biofiction, a rather successful attempt to substitute fabrication for fact and create an identity that a gullible electorate would buy.

And we did.

Do you know where Kapiolani Medical Center is? It’s right smack dab behind the Dunham’s apartment building. When I say smack dab, that’s exactly what I mean - right there, can’t miss it, just look out the window. Little Barry would have had to have walked past it on his way to Punahou school every day. Now, here’s a big hospital complex that he saw every time he went out his door yet he gets it mixed up with a second hospital for the miraculous birth?
