HONOLULU -- The state's Department of Health director on Friday released a statement verifying the legitimacy of Sen. Barack Obama birth certificate.
The state has received multiple requests for a copy of Obama's birth certificate. State law does not allow officials to release the birth certificate of a person to someone outside of the family....

did clinton ever release his..... for public view....
I wonder how much the Director of Health contributed to the 0bama campaign .
Don’t forget - they’re Liberals out there.
Why don’t you spend the night at a Holiday Inn Express and get back to us on this? Can’t be too careful in matters involving constitutional law!
I would have thought that when he submitted his ‘application’ to become a candidate for POTUS, a notorized birth certificate would have been required as part of the package before he could move forward.
I suppose I’m ignorant as to the process...?
I keep wondering the same thing.
Au contraire. The statement does not verify the legitimacy of the COLB. It merely says that the state of Hawaii is in possession of the original.
If the birth certificate said that Barack Hussein Obama II was born in Hawaii, and if the official were to say as much, who would seek to punish him for that? All citizens have an interest in seeing that the Constitution is followed, and the official would not be revealing anything that anyone could reasonably expect to be kept confidential. If James Quimby suggests that Lisa Smith was born in Hawaii, then for an official to confirm or deny that would be to reveal information that James Quimby might not really know, and which Lisa Smith might not want him to know. On the other hand, when Barack Obama says that he himself is born in Hawaii, and that his name is Barack Hussein Obama II, it would seem that he would want everyone to know that. So why not release that information? Unless the real information doesn’t match the narrative?
