You've done Yeoman's work, Polarik. Commendations are due.

It's highly doubtful that anyone will ever see the Registrar's record of Obama's birth. It's like Kerry's Form 180.....he has to sign off on it's release and that ain't gonna happen. The State of Hawaii is following privacy rights and can't be held liable in this circumstance, however the information on the original certificate may not accurately reflect the information Obama presents.

The Father may be listed as 'Unknown' or the father listed may be other than the one Obama claims; the registry may have no hospital or attending physician, just the word of the mother and evidence of the child that it was a home birth or some other tale. Then there's the possibility that another certificate was altered, one of a still born and reassigned for monetary compensation or favor which the Hawaii records department would not likely want to have disclosed. Date of birth would be meaningless since it would be hearsay and the innocence of the child a powerful and lucrative reason to commit a petty forgery.

Bringing this up because the current director of Hawaii's DoH is not the final authority in the vetting of Obama.

In a series of (6) miscarriages and still births, I went as far as 8 3/4 months, and had that still birth in the hospital, after over 12 hours of labor.

I NEVER recieved a single BIRTH CERTIFICATE for any of those events.

Please keep in mind that state privacy statutes generally include exceptions and that one of those exceptions is often a court subpoena. There are several cases around the country going on now in which subpoenas for the Hawaii birth records may issued.
