You know, James, your “evidence” would be more convincing if it weren’t in the form of an htm document from yet another supposed Obama Conspiracy debunking site. How about a link to the actual webpage from which they supposedly downloaded this West bio? Couldn’t somebody in the meantime have modified the text?
btw, why does the label say, “Rodney Thomas Weste” instead of “West”?
How about dueling biographies? Here’s one from the Pearl Harbor Survivors, presumably people who knew him well:
http://www.pearlharborstories.org/survivor.php5?name=Rodney+West%2C+M.D.&id=767&search=
“In December of l956, after delivering at least 5,000 babies - and other things, he retired from the practice of medicine.”
There CAN be a difference between retiring from the PRACTICE of medicine and retiring from being an administrator in a hospital or clinic. Or sitting on medical boards.
About “Catherine Dale West”, I notice that you don’t link to your source. How about an unbiased, authenticated source for that testimony, James?
Anybody want to guess where that information came from? The selfsame ObamaConspiracy (so-called birther debunking) BLOG. Catherine was a commenter there. You know, like the rest of us are commenters here.
So, James, I could log on to Free Republic under the pseudonym “Mrs. Rodney T. West” and SAY,
“My husband was retired from obstetrics in 1961. He didn’t deliver Barack H. Obama because he didn’t deliver any babies after 1956. He never had that conversation with Barbara Nelson because he was too ethical to gossip about any of his patients. His colleagues and family are offended and personally insulted that anyone would accuse him of such a breach of ethics for partisan political reasons, especially when he’s no longer alive to defend his reputation.”
Would you “believe” that testimony?
I do notice that there’s no authentication of the true identity of this Catherine OR any posting of HER so-called birth certificate to back up that claim. So it’s simply another comment on a blog by somebody who gives no evidence of being Dr. West’s grandniece.
But even if this is his grandniece, would it be surprising if his niece asked him to deliver her children, as a personal favor, even though he no longer ordinarily delivered babies, especially since he was at the time an ADMINISTRATOR at the STRAUB CLINIC, not at Kapiolani?
About the “former teacher”, she must be like Zelig. She shows up at two points in time in the messiah’s lifetime. First when she has a conversation with someone who’s allegedly gossiping (against medical ethics, I must add)about the birth of a child to a 18-year-old “patient” (who she doesn’t know at all) and somehow she remembers the names of the mother, father, and child, years later (but only after the other conversant is conveniently dead). Coincidentally, she also later becomes a teacher of that same miraculous child.
Another coincidence: Dr. West died in Feb. 2008, right around the same time that somebody who worked for someone, who himself worked for Obama and had also once worked for the CIA, was sanitizing BHO’s passport files, according to a person with knowledge of the State Dept. investigation into the breach, who spoke to a reporter.
So, was someone creating a “plausible” backstory, along with a COLB? You be the judge, REASONABLE, LOGICAL people.

You asked what I believed, I told you what I believe. If you have different beliefs, that’s fine.

STATEMENT BY DR. CHIYOME FUKINO
“There have been numerous requests for Sen. Barack Hussein Obama’s official birth certificate. State law (Hawai‘i Revised Statutes §338-18) prohibits the release of a certified birth certificate to persons who do not have a tangible interest in the vital record.
“Therefore, I as Director of Health for the State of Hawai‘i, along with the Registrar of Vital Statistics who has statutory authority to oversee and maintain these type of vital records, have personally seen and verified that the Hawai‘i State Department of Health has Sen. Obama’s original birth certificate on record in accordance with state policies and procedures.
“No state official, including Governor Linda Lingle, has ever instructed that this vital record be handled in a manner different from any other vital record in the possession of the State of Hawai‘i.”
“I, Dr. Chiyome Fukino, director of the Hawaii State Department of Health, have seen the original vital records maintained on file by the Hawaii State Department of Health verifying Barack Hussein Obama was born in Hawaii and is a natural-born American citizen. I have nothing further to add to this statement or my original statement issued in October 2008 over eight months ago.”—July 27, 2009
