To verify we did indeed have the correct document, we contacted the Hawaii Department of Health, which maintains such records.
“It’s a valid Hawaii state birth certificate,” spokesman Janice Okubo said June 13, 2008, after we e-mailed her our copy.
The Hawaii Department of Health receives about a dozen e-mail inquiries a day about Obama’s birth certificate, spokesman Okubo said.
“I guess the big issue that’s being raised is the lack of an embossed seal and a signature,” Okubo said, pointing out that in Hawaii, both those things are on the back of the document. “Because they scanned the front … you wouldn’t see those things.”
Okubo says she got a copy of her own birth certificate last year and it is identical to the Obama one we received.

If you're going to go through the trouble of publishing a forged document, why would you redact the cert number so it could be verified.....oh wait
What she said is double speak...lots a words but really didn't say a thing, classic diversion
A Certificate of Live Birth is not the same as a Birth Certificate during the time when Obama hatched. You know that and I know it.
Nice try however.
And Okubo, the dingbat, finally admitted about 2 weeks later to the St. Petersburg Times...
Janice Okubo: "I don't know that it's possible for us to even say beyond a doubt what the image on the site represents."
