... and NO, the registrar's stamp does not act as this "eye witness" Certifying Official present at the time of birth, as we do NOT know what Mr. Onaka is exactly certifying in the (only) THIRTEEN blocks of data on the "CertificaTION of Live Birth" when he states: "I certify this is a true copy or abstract of the record on file at the Hawaii State Department of Health." TREAT THAT STAMP as if it were a Notary Stamp, where the Notary attests to the fact that the person signing the document IS who he SAYS he is; it DOESN'T necessarily mean the document is true or accurate! This is IMPORTANT, too, because Obama's form states in the bottom lefthand corner: "Date FILED by Registrar" vs. "Date ACCEPTED by State Registrar" as we see on OTHER examples of "CerticaTION of Live Birth" on the internet.
Sun Yat-sen, Chinese revolutionary and political leader often referred to as the "Father of Modern China," was able to file a “Certificate of Hawaiian Birth” application and immigrate to the US in 1904 using the COHB form in such a similar manner (the COHB program was terminated in 1972, but many of the loopholes still exist):
http://hawaii.gov/health/vital-records/vital-records/index.html
“Amended certificates of birth may be prepared and filed with the Department of Health, as provided by law, for 1) a person born in Hawaii who already has a birth certificate filed with the Department of Health or 2) a person born in a foreign country.”
In the case of BHO, an independent certifying witness is pretty important. If it turns out his mother filed an affidavit of some format, say on a "Certificate of LATE Birth" as the “root document,” well, I dare say the anti-Obama attorneys will have a “field day” with that “root document.” Tearing apart Ann's “affidavit testimony” should be a rather easy task based upon other court-entered prima facia from both divorces in Hawaii, possessing many inconsistencies and errors in fact... Yes, it's rather easy with Hawaiian Rule 902 & 903 regarding evidence and testimony to provide Berg, Taitz, Pidgeon, and others much "opportunity" to "discredit the witness" Ann Dunham, IMO.
Here's an example "Certificate of Late Birth" from Arkansas (note that a half-brother "having knowledge of birth" is the "certifying official" [weaker prima facia]):
Edith Coats here, who was born in Hawaii, has an “independent” certifying official witness on her COLB (Dr Noda was the attending physician, affirming “I certify that this child was born alive on the date and hour stated”):
Alan here, an "Army brat" born in Hawaii, has an “independent” certifying witness (a Capt M.D.) who affirmed “I certify that this child was born alive on the date and hour stated.”
Even “the King” has someone certifying his birth in 1937 in Tupelo, Mississippi:
“I certify that I attended the birth of this child who was born alive at 11:35 am on the date Jan 8, 1935” signed W. R. Hurst, M.D.:
Note that the U.S. Standard Certificate of Live Birth form REQUIRES the “the Attending,” be it a doctor or some other official act as certifying official of the events of the birth (blocks 9-13) :
BHO's original form would NOT have used THIS US form, as it wasn't in existence until 1972 when the law required the U.S. Social Security Administration to issue Social Security numbers and to obtain more stringent evidence of age and citizenship or alien status and identity. However, based on the Hawaiian "CertificATEs of Live Birth" above, a Block for the Certifying Official would still be present, as well as the hospital, and if any information is in Block 23: "Evidence for Delayed Filing or Alteration".
No, I could care less about his APGAR Score... BUT because there's is SO much controversy regarding Obama's COLB, I AM very interested to verify the location and time/date recorded by the Certifying Official/Attendant of his COLB. Forgive me for not accepting "Fact Check" and "Snopes" as the subject experts on this matter...
Now, if you're willing to blindly accept the current COLB he's offered via Fact Check (LOL), with all the known loopholes it is vulnerable to via Hawaiian Law as well as the specifics of his early childhood, then Vladimir Lenin's phrase "useful idiot" might just pertain to you...
