According to an AP story, Dr. Chiyome Fukino, Health Director with the Hawaii State Department of Health, has issued a new statement seeking to "stem a recent surge in the number of inquiries about Obama's birthplace." "I…have seen the original vital records maintained on file by the Hawaii State Department of Health verifying Barack Hussein Obama was born in Hawaii and is a natural-born American citizen….I have nothing further to add to this statement or my original statement issue in October 2008, over eight months ago." AP asserts that "Fukino issued a similar press release Oct. 31." However, in her statement in October Fukino said "I…have 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." The original statement said nothing about the content of the birth record. The new statement therefore goes significantly farther than the original statement in October, though both the AP story and Fukino herself give the deceptive impression that it does not. Given this evident obfuscation, why should I or anyone else simply take Fukino's words at face value?
Her new and more substantive statement comes in the context of passage by the US Congress of a unanimous resolution commemorating the fiftieth anniversary of Hawaii's admission as a state of the United States which declares "Whereas the 44th President of the United States, Barack Obama, was born in Hawaii on August 4, 1961…." Sadly, this Congressional action only serves as further proof that all the members of Congress from both parties now irresponsibility vote to affirm what they have never read.
This flurry of activity is meant to distract public attention from the palpable contradictions that have emerged in the cover story the Obama faction has used on account of his unwillingness to produce a birth record that actually contains the information needed to lay the controversy to rest. Until recently no one in the manipulated media has been willing to address this failure factually. Despite this repression, more and more people have become aware of the fact that the "certification of live birth" published on the internet during the Presidential campaign last fall did not establish Obama's eligibility for two reasons: a) such certifications were issued at the time to people not born on US soil. Therefore, the published document did nothing to overcome the objection (raised because of the testimony of Obama's African relatives) that he was born in Kenya at a time when his mother, who was married to a foreign national, was not of age to transmit US citizenship; and b) the internet published certification contained no details as to the hospital at which the birth took place, or the doctor who delivered the child, details that could be used to establish what must otherwise be treated as uncorroborated testimony.
Given the lack of such details, the fact that at various times the media and elements of the Obama faction made conflicting statements about the hospital of his birth (was it Queens Medical Center, or Kapiolani?), further aggravated the need to substantiate the true facts.
Then Lou Dobbs acknowledged on his CNN program that there is a factual doubt about Obama's birth that has not been addressed. In response CNN president Jon Klein reportedly claimed in an e-mail that "CNN researchers found Hawaiian records were discarded in 2001 when the state's records system went electronic. Therefore, Klein said, Obama's original long-form birth certificate no longer exists. A computer generated abbreviated version that has been promoted on the Internet is the official record."
But Hawaiian officials rebutted this story. "I am not aware of any birth certificate records that have been destroyed by the department," Janice Okubo, public information officer for the Hawaii DOH, told WND. "When the department went electronic in 2001, vital records, whether in paper form or any other form, [were] maintained. We don't destroy records….Any records we had in paper or any other form before 2001 are still in file within the department," she insisted. "We have not destroyed any vital records that we have."
This Hawaii official flatly declared that the Obama's actual long-form birth certificate is in the possession of the State of Hawaii. Hawaii Health Director Fukino now belatedly declares that it contains the information needed to lay the eligibility question to rest once and for all. The AP story now disingenuously admits that the Constitution's eligibility provisions are "a key constitutional requirement for being president." So with respect to this key requirement, why are the American people being asked to accept less than the best evidence available? All along people like me have simply asked that the facts be fairly proven so as to preserve the integrity of the Constitution's authority. In this regard the issue is not whether Obama remains in office or is declared ineligible to serve, but whether the issue is resolved in accordance with the Constitution's provisions.
Sadly, pundits like Ann Coulter have unfairly characterized this simple concern for Constitutional integrity as some kind of "conspiracy theory." Actually, it's just a refusal to declare a fact not in evidence. There was a time when good journalists, like good lawyers, refused to be manipulated into doing so. A fair and proper hearing requires that evidence be produced and subjected to careful examination (by experts if need be.) It requires that witness be confronted and cross examined. Though the issue of Obama's eligibility for the Presidency involves the integrity of the Supreme law of the land (not to mention the right to occupy the key governmental office it establishes), there has been no such fair and proper hearing to ascertain the facts and make clear the principles on which it can be decided. This failure is not so much a conspiracy as a massive dereliction of duty on the part of officials oath bound to preserve the Constitution of the United States. How can we be satisfied until such a hearing takes place, openly televised, with both sides to the controversy fairly represented and fairly treated? Only then will the American people have reason to be confident that the conclusion reached is based on carefully gathering and fairly examining all the available evidence.
Such a hearing would exemplify the solemn respect we ought to have for our Constitution. It would therefore serve the common good of our nation. But it would not serve the unbounded ambition of the Obama faction, or comfort the reprehensible cowardice of their supposed opponents. If we wait upon them to serve fairness, truth and constitutional integrity, we may as well whistle for a wind.
No Republican who committed felonies (perjury and obstruction of justice) in office, as he did, could have stayed in office. Yet Clinton was, to many, a hero.

The power of the press...</s>
The potential scope of this COVER-UP makes Watergate look like a case of political jaywalking.
“MR. GIBBS: Because for $15, you can get an Internet address and say whatever you want.”
We should all send Gibbs an email telling him that the O should just spend his own $15 and produce the original.
Yet she personally claims to have made all factual and legal determinations regarding this document(?)
Dr. Fukino is is not qualified to made this determination.
++++++++++++
Exactly, nor is she qualified to proclaim he is a ‘natural born citizen.’ Weird that she used that Constitutional phrase, huh? To me, whether he was born in HI, Kenya or the moon, matters not - was he born to partly foreign parentage and what does that mean to the Constitutional requirement of being a ‘natural born citizen?’

Notice the sharp turn in US Israeli relations lately. Clinton comes out against Iran Nukes. The USA backs down on Jerusalem, etc. Mossad won;t publish the information on the cover of the NYT, not... they will use it to get what they need from Obama. It is starting and the American establishment knows it can't remain a secret much longer. So... it is starting to leak out. Why do you think Dr. Fukino suddenly opines in public? She would have been much better off keeping her mouth shut. Omama and Co. are trying desperately to neutralize the data Mossad has collected...
Stay tuned...
Obama & Co. are scrambling like crazy because someone has the data and is using it to manipulate Obama. The Russians created him and Israel doesn't trust him... "Dance, Obama. Or your presidency becomes illegitimate..."
So... of course, the administration is pulling out all the stops to avoid the blackmail at this point. Should be an interesting few weeks!
Like she wasn't coached on exactly what to say...
The Administration is in serious damage control mode at the moment. Someone has the data and Barack (or whatever his name is) had better dance to their tune or his presidency goes up in smoke. Biden is waiting in the wings and Clinton, with her new hard line on Iran, is waiting in the wings to be appointed VP to "save the nation..."
Stay tuned! The louder they scream, the more guilty they look!
The white house should demand the long form document, and then post it on the official white house website.
lol, and I “should” lose 30 pounds but that’s not likely to happen!
It is a good day when I can say, “I have learned.”
Thanks
It is ALWAYS the cover up that destroys the politician.
Ann is wrong. Conspiracy theories are based on misinterpretation of evidence, or on the presumption of evidence.
However Ann - in a vault in the state of Hawaii, there is a single piece of paper. We know it exists...this Hawaiian official said so. This single piece of paper has a black and white answer.
Ann - we ask that this piece of paper be retrieved from that vault and given to a politcally-neutral forensic expert to ascertain its authenticity. If (1) the forensic expert authenticates the document and (2) the document indicates a Hawaiian birth, then the Constitutional issue is settled.
Or, Ann, we could do as you have done, in this age of GM takeovers and multi-trillion dollar wealth redistribution schemes, and take blind faith in the belief that "it couldn't happen here"
A check at FamilySearch.org (public LDS genealogy website) reveals this:
Search for Barack Hussein OBAMA (Pin #2327236) and you get a birthplace of Alego, Kenya in 1936.
There's no date for when this information was submitted to the Church, but it's on one of the family record CDs, which leads me to believe it is at least years old.
Oh man and people think the left hates jews now? If the Mossad were to come out with info that proved Obama is not a NBC of this nation....Jewish houses of worship might burn...in this nation for days, weeks, months.
D’oh! That’s his father... :-/
Alan Keyes is very articulate and ‘manipulated media’ is certainly an evocative phrase!
I just switched parties but going back to Dem just to be able to vote out Dem in primary. Obombxss is a fascist & has humiliated the U.S.A. There shd be some way to impreach him & the rest of Demoncrats for forcing the taxpayers onto a health plan that they voted against themselves having to be on. If it’s so great why don’t they want it? Can’t stand Obombxss face nor his bitxh Pelosi.
