All I know is that usually birth newspapers usually obtain their daily birth’s from hospitals if and when they publish lists such as shown.

Wishing, my dear ‘intellectual superior’ just isn’t gonna make it so....no matter how smart you think you are.
Precisely! I get so tired of hearing people, such as O'Reilly, say that Obama's birth was announced in the Hawaiian papers, so that's that.
The papers at the time routinely reported on births that were recorded each day at the department of vital records. Just like how they used to report on daily crimes from the police blotter. Do any of the critics also believe that the police were calling the papers every day to put an announcement in the paper for every crime that occurred? Of course not, and neither did Obama's parents have anything to do with the birth announcements. They were automatic.
What this means, then, is that it is entirely possible that Obama was born elsewhere, but had his birth certified by the State of Hawaii, as was their peculiar practice at that time. Said registration would have then resulted in the papers robotically generating birth announcements, whether he was born there or not. The newspaper announcements therefore only prove that his birth was registered in the state, but not necessarily that he was born there. I don't know why so many people are confused by this.
