They did no such thing.
Actually they did. But as you correctly point out they did NOT comment on the content.
The Morons that pass for journalists in the Lamestream Media don't understand that it is possible to have an "authentic" Hawaiian Birth Certificate but still NOT be a "natural born citizen".
Fukino said she has “personally seen and verified that the Hawaii State Department of Health has Sen. Obama’s original birth certificate on record in accordance with state policies and procedures.
She did not say original Hawaii birth certificate. Under Hawaiian law, he could have applied for a Hawaii birth certificate provided he could show his mother was a resident of Hawaii one year prior to his birth. Part of that process is submitting your original birth certificate. So therefore, in accordance with state policies and procedures , they would have his original birth certificate on record. It does not mean it is a Hawaii birth certificate.
