Hospitals in Hawaii to Obama: You Were Not Born Here!

-snip-

"All of these were called from November 20 - December 2nd 2008. It is confirmed, OBAMA not born in any hospital in Honolulu County! NONE FACT!

Hospitals you can check yourself

We were pretty detailed in our calls.  You can look at every hospital here and call any of them.  You can file freedom of information acts, you can do everything and anything you wish.  Barack Obama was never born in a hospital in Hawaii as claimed."


-end snip-

Nope, no birth record found of Obama in Hawaii.

Nope, no birth record found of Obama in Hawaii.

Will Hoover, Obama's Hawaii boyhood homes drawing gawkers, Honolulu Advertiser, Sunday, November 9, 2008. http://www.honoluluadvertiser.com/article/20081109/NEWS01/811090361/-1/SPECIALOBAMA08

If you read the above article closely there seems to be a conflict between the hospitals confirming anyone born there and the HIPA (Health Information Privacy Act, http://www.hhs.gov/ocr/privacy/index.html) law:

"We don't have plans to do anything," said Kapiolani Medical Center spokeswoman, Claire Tong, when asked how the center plans to commemorate the soon-to-be 44th U.S. president, who, according to Obama's family and other sources, was born at that hospital on Aug. 4, 1961.

"We can't confirm or deny it — even though all the information out there says he was born at Kapiolani Hospital. And that's because of the HIPA law."

[...]

"Our hands are tied," she said.

First of all, it's highly unlikely any of those hopsitals would have kept a record that long. They're only required to keep a birth record until the person reaches 25 years of age.

Second of all, even if they had a record, it would be illegal under various privacy laws for them to confirm or deny anything.

Never mind. You birthers will ignore these obvious facts and continue spinning your conspiracy theories. Have fun.

My purpose here is to show the world that not every Freeper wears a tinfoil hat.
