The Department of Health has released a statement about Senator Barack Obama's official birth certificate.
There have been talk among some chat rooms that Senator Obama was not born in Hawaii, or even America for that matter, and therefore is ineligible to run for the office of President.
There have been various requests for copies of his Hawaii birth certificate to the Department of Health, all which have to be turned down.
"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," said DOH Director Chiyome Fukino.
"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."
Fukino adds that no state leaders, including Governor Lingle, has asked the certificate be handled in any way different from any one else's vital records in state possession.
Actually the image at that link is a certificate of live birth, essentially the 1980 version of Cerfication of Live Birth that Obama has released. Neither is a Birth Certificate. But only an extract. The McCain 1980 one was probably produced by looking at either the actual paper, possibly handwritten, BC, or at a Microfilm or Microfiche of it. Obama’s was, if not a forgery, produced by a computer looking at the information in a data base, not at the original certificate.
To me this is just like the tape the LA Times is holding. If everything is on the up and up, why not just produce it and let us see it and put the issue to rest.
Obama is hiding too much and it’s not just the birth certificate and the tape.
Who's going to try to steal the identity of a major party candidate for the Presidency, by presenting a copy of his BC? He's be laughed out of the office, and he'd be right ahead of the police, and/or the guys in the white uniforms. I think the man is a fraud. He did not rise to power on his own merit. And the real power(s) behind his rise do not and never had a good intention towards this country.
which is exactly why ever legal means must be used to deny him the office of the Presidency. If he'd not eligible, then his candidacy becomes DOA, full stop end of discussion, go back to Chicago, or Hawaii, especially if he was not natural born, and was never naturalized. In that case he can join his cousin Odinga in Kenya.
Or would your rather see a known fraud become Commander in Chief?
I sent them a scathing email regarding their sloppy reporting.
Lets stave off the issue by sending Obama back to Illinois.
By the way. Berg’s site, www.obamacrimes.com is down and down hard, either his account was yanked by his provider (doubtful) or the server was hacked... everything is just gone (and I know what that looks like from hard experience!)
At this point, no one planning to vote for The One, would give a rat's patootee about that. They wouldn't care if no father is shown on the original BC. So he was a bastard, so are lots of people these days. I don't think it's anything that mundane.
Well said bump!
Ping to Post #55.
A HI birth certificate is no assurance he was born in HI.
Actually it might apply until the electoral college votes are opened by the President of the Senate, before a joint session of Congress.
The President of the Senate is currently Richard "Dick" Cheney, since that is the major Constitutional duty of the VP, other than as a spare part, and he will still be President of the Senate when the electoral votes are opened and counted.
Read the Constitution. No where does it say you can not be POTUS if you are a communist, have anti-Semite allies or socialist positions.
The Constitution does state:
You MUST be a natural born citizen
You MUST be 35 y/o
You MUST have resided in the USA for 14 years
if you want to be POTUS!
Obama - produce your birth certificate or sit down and sthu!
Do I sound pissed off? I AM. And I DAMN WELL SHOULD BE, as should EVERY AMERICAN WHO MAY HAVE TO LIVE UNDER HIS POLICIES.
WE ARE "INTERESTED PARTIES" for GOD'S SAKE.
Best post on this subject yet! Good to see someone gets it. Thanks!
The version shown at factcheck.org (An Annenberg Foundation funded group, so pretty much in the tank for The One). Does show the number.
Close up
The number is 151 1961 - 010641.
But the fact check version is clearly not the same one as originally posted on BHO's campaign website.
As you can see I didn't come up with it, Doug McKay did. I used to participate on usenet forums and email lists with him. I got his express permission to use it. But he also said to pass it on to others. That was well before I ever even heard of Free Republic, in fact before there was a FR, and before most people had Web capability.
I HOPE we agree that they don’t rush into things...:)
But in this case, it looks like you are right. This won’t come to light until...sometime in the future. Then it will be too late.
I was planning on addressing your statement above, but I see that El Gato has done a fine job of dealing with it here:

For someone like YOU, Just A Nobody, I would have labored for hours to get that on paper...
Hope to get down there again to see you guys...:)
Of course not, in the early days, people did not "run" for the office. Nor did they campaign for it. Their supporters came to them, and then went out and advocated for them. They practically had to drag George Washington to New York.
He doesn't have to be a natural born citizen, he does have to be a citizen, and must have been one for at least 9 years. He must also be a resident of the state that he represents adn be at least 30 years old.
No Person shall be a Senator who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty Years, and been nine Years a Citizen of the United States, and who shall not, when elected, be an Inhabitant of that State for which he shall be chosen.
Art. I, Sec. 3, Constitution for the United States.
The number is 151 1961 - 010641.
