I got it from an article in the Honolulu Star, but there are lots of other places: http://starbulletin.com/2008/02/18/news/story03.html "He was born in Kapiolani Medical Center for Women & Children, two blocks up from where our grandmother still resides ... the place where he used to stick orange peels under his bed, where it got all dried out and ... nasty."

Thanks, that's interesting. There are several places on the web that say Queen's Medical Center, including Snopes.com and even on a blog at my.barackobama.com.

The Wikipedia listed Queen's Medical Center as his birthplace up until this version, where it was removed at 15:17 on September 13, 2006 by user HailFire. (For instance, see this version, the immediately previous version. In fact, the current entry for Queen's Medical Center still says that Barack Obama was born there.)

Not until just 3 days ago, on June 7th, did Kapiolani Medical Center appear in the Wikipedia article on Obama. It first appeared in this version edited at 13:49 on June 7th 2008 by user G.-M. Cupertino, and apparently is based off information at a webpage http://www.wargs.com/political/obama.html (from September 14th, 2006, until June 6th, 2008, no hospital was listed in any of the Wikipedia versions of the article on Senator Obama that I saw.) If you look at the foreign language versions of the Wikipedia article, some of them still have Queen's Medical Center as his birthplace. (e.g., Italian and Indonesian.)

I looked at some other genealogy websites, and another one also listed Queen's Medical Center:

    genealogy.wiki.com

It seems unusual to me that we cannot even determine which hospital was the birthplace of a very prominent person who was born in the United States in 1961.

Here's a genealogy tree on Obama that I've been aware of for several years.  http://www.wargs.com/political/obama.html   The base site that is, not Obama's particular tree.  It has it as Kapiolani.  I have a tendency to believe that Obama knows what hospital he was born in.

 

This site built by the Chicago Sun Times built Obama's family tree and gives sources. http://www.suntimes.com/images/cds/MP3/obamatree.pdf
