I found this earlier today:

“Does this mean Obama was born in Hawaii?

“Yes,” said Hawaii Health Department spokeswoman Janice Okubo, in both email and telephone interviews with the Tribune. “That’s what Dr. Fukino is saying.”

From:

Obama Hawaiian-born: Citizen for sure:

Actually, this is what is from the article:

Does this mean Obama was born in Hawaii?

"Yes," said Hawaii Health Department spokeswoman Janice Okubo, in both email and telephone interviews with the Tribune. "That's what Dr. Fukino is saying."

Notice the question is not in quotes. I would like to see the actual question asked of her to see what she is answering "yes" to.

Now here is a quote from Okubu to Forbes magazine:

"Unfortunately the way state laws are written we are not allowed to confirm vital information and vital records," said Janice Okubo, a spokeswoman for Hawaii's department of health. "I cannot confirm individual information because that is against the law."

This seems to contradict what the Tribune is saying.

There is an article here that shows how the Tribunes statement is taken from misinformation put out in the press:
