Very recent. I suspect Hawaii or CNN have just made that up. A Freedom of Information Act Request just to get your own birth certificate? LoL. In 3 years, I haven't heard that term FOIA applied or have I seen it in the Hawaiian statute that they don't even follow. These guys are a lie a minute.
CNN has shot itself in the foot. They claimed that Chiyome Fukino was able to inspect Obama’s records and view the original birth certificate because she met the direct and tangible interest requirement (which is a lie ... she simply had statutory authority as the director of the health deparmtent). But, presuming this was true, this would mean she could disclose the certificate because she supposedly meets the direct and tangible interest requirement. It completely contradicts the claim that they can’t release the original birth record. If she has a “direct and tangible interest,” she can disclose the record. She would have the same right to do disclose the record as Obama does.
