One can argue that Obama has waived his right to privacy by releasing this information. If so, then we should do the following:
1) Publicly ask Obama to waive access to the information, since he has already publicly released it.
2) People can now request uncertified copies from the Hawaii Department of Health, now that the document has been made public (let's see if the office can reproduce the document).
3) The hospital no longer can hide behind the excuse of privacy because hospital information (including the doctor) has been released by Obama. They should now release corroborating information, such as shift reports or billing records.
If the document is real, the Hawaii Dept. of Health should have no problem turning out additional copies to those who pay the fee for one, now that it is public domain knowledge.

Excellent concept, but the State of HI has been most uncooperative when meeting requests for any docs of their Ruler. The have even broken their own laws and refused birth “index records” for 1961 which are ABSOLUTELY available upon request and do not have any “tangible interest” protective clauses.
However, I love your idea and if there is a way to pursue it, I am all for it ! Good post !
