State law prohibits the Department of Health from disclosing any information about a Hawaii vital record unless the requestor has a direct and tangible interest in the record. This includes verification of vital records and all the information contained in a record.Unless Obama (or someone else with a "direct and tangible interest") authorized the disclosure by Fukino that the vital record consisting of his birth records states that he was born in Hawaii, Fukino has violated this prohibition.
It is astonishing that no journalist has asked Fukino if Obama communicated with her to authorize her statement, and what the substance of that communication was. American journalists put the old Soviet Pravda and Izvestia to shame in terms of corruption.
I am not aware of any privilege or confidentiality right that would apply to any such communication between Obama and the State of Hawaii Department of Health. If Fukino refuses to disclose it, I would expect that state FOIA laws could be used to uncover it.
If there was no authorization from Obama, on what legal basis did Fukino disclose the fact that Obama's birth records state he was born in Hawaii?
Pissant-
This is the FULL request I made to Ms. Okubo this morning:
Ms. Okubo-

"I discovered this article, folded away among my birth certificate and old vaccination forms, when I was in high school." -- Barack Obama, Dreams of My Father
Of course, he never did indicate WHERE the birth certificate was issued, did he?
In my attempt to learn more about the Hawaiian birth certificate program, I came across the book, "In the name of Hawaiians" by Rona Tamiko Halualani. In the book, the author interviews many Hawaiians who voice frustration with the Hawaiian Health Office and the DHHL for sloppy record keeping of Vital Statistics. Here's an excerpt:
What if there is a HINT of truth to CNN's claim that there is no birth certificate for Mr. Obama? Let's say the state of Hawaii, with formal permission of Mr. Obama, releases a statement that says something like:
"Due to clerical oversight in years past, the originally-filed birth certificate of Barack H. Obama II has been lost. In accordance with state policies and procedures, the Certification of Live Birth is the birth certificate of record for Barack H. Obama II."
It would be awfully convenient for Mr. Obama, but true as far as the state of Hawaii is concerned in this example.
IF something like that were to happen, what would be the next step in confirming Mr. Obama's qualifications to hold office as president?
I read this again. This is excellent. All FR should read this. Great job. This is so coordinated by Obama’s lawyers and thugs in the media. THis is like Slick trying to make the Monica thing go away by parsing, spinning and having the lib media cover for O.
