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.
So that would be his alleged father.
“Elements of the First Marine Recon division today marched down Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington DC, occupied the White House, and placed purported President Barack Hussein Obama (aka Barry Obama, aka Barry Soetoro) under detention. Government officials were said to be aghast. This coup marks the first time in American history that an administration has been ended by military force (Ruetres)”
I’m hearing in that inimitable Helen Thomas voice “Mister President... MISTER PRESIDENT!!! Where’s the birth certificate MISTER PRESIDENT???”
It’s funny that I’m starting to like Helen Thomas again now that she’s haranguing “that man” instead of the President of the United States, George W. Bush. Integrity is laying into both sides with the same vigor. Good on ya, Helen.
Could you ask Dr. Keyes if he feels it appropriate to start a not for profit website that solicits contributions to be donated to the Kapiolani Medical Center (supposed birth hospital of Obama) The contributions will be made to the Childrens ward in the name of the Doctor that brought the first Black President and firts President from Hawaii into the world.
Of course for such a large donation to the hospital we would want to be sure that we were accurately honoring the correct individual that information should be available on the original birth record or should be easily obtained by the Hospital or by Obama himself.
There is nothing partisan in this effort as it is a form of honor that we seek. Why would anyone deny the children an upgrade to their hospital ward?
Now THAT would be dramatic. As it stands now, the long form BC is like the Nixon tapes. It was long rumored that they existed, but it wasn’t until they were leaked that it became the smoking gun that destroyed a presincy. I wonder if they called the people demanding those tapes nutjobs. I can’t remember.
Or, like the blue dress with Clinton all over it. This case needs a smoking gun.
If Mossad has it, I’ve got to believe KGB does too... but maybe they’re on his side.
The enemy of your enemy is your friend!
Yep. this is an incredible opportunity to manipulate and blackmail an American president. Blackmail on an international level. Seems like the Founding Fathers knew what they were doing when they wrote our constitution...
WOW!! Unbelieveable. I’ve been praying for this. CO
I agree they are in panic mode. The last thing these thugs want to face is the Military. It’s actually time for a joint Military coup and people’s revolution. Just sayin!! Otherwise these thugs, and they are thugs, are going to keep steam rolling along over America and everything that she is. CO
Don’t assume Obama’s father was the Kenyan guy. It has been suggested that Obama’s biological father was an American communist. If proved, Obama is legitimately POTUS and Obama’s whole African thing is Bullsh*t... He is hiding SOMETHING...
++++++++++++++++++
If it is the Kenyan, then he may well not be a ‘natural born citizen’; requirement of the Constitution for POTUS. If it’s the communist, its certainly incovenient and makes his look like a fool, or a liar, or both.
bttt
I wonder if it would be possible to use a FOIA request around student aid / foreign students during Obama’s college years to identify Obama as a foreign student.
It’s a nautical superstition, dating from when ships were powered by wind, and to be becalmed was to be stranded.
If one whistled, long enough or the right way, a wind would manifest.
“Nut jobs” are patriots who challenge corrupt liberals. Liberals who challenge conservative Republican presidents are called patriots. It helps to re-read George Orwell’s 1984...

Right, and develop a thick skin and labor on!
