I heard the report of her visit to her friend in Washington in about Feb, 2008, long before any of this birth certificate stuff started. Bells went off in my head. How could this be, I thought.
In regards to your own experience, I don't know -- "how could this be..." as you ask.
All I do know is that we've got an official statement from the State of Hawaii, the official maintainers of the birth information for Obama and in which they certify that he was born there and that he is a natural born citizen.
It would seem to be (in regards to your own experience) to be a variation between individuals, more than anything else...
Officially speaking -- we've got the word from the State of Hawaii.
Could you please relay this “proof” from the state of Hawaii because I have not seen or heard it. I’ve written to them several times since June, 2008. They refuse to provide me any info.
I’ve read numerous newspaper accounts of his Indonesian birth, his Kenyan birth, his Hawaii birth at Queens hospital reported by UPI, his birth at Kapiolani by the Hawaii papers, the letter he supposedly wrote to the hospital and was read publicly by Rep. Abercrombie which neither he nor his spokesman, Gibbs, will confirm or deny he signed. Why should I trust the sources now, when they keep changing the facts. Should I have believed them before?
I have visited the birthplace of several of our presidents but no one is willing to confirm one for Obama. Why?
On the other hand, he and others have named different hospitals and offered no proof of any. The COLB posted only electronically and not shared with anyone except FactCheck is worthless in my opinion and that of a lot of others.
I recall the Governor of Hawaii stating early on that a COLB was requested and sent in 2008. The one posted online was stamped 2007. So again, no confirmation of authenticity of the online copy and no one except FactCheck has been allowed to see the paper copy.
I also read a report of another friend of Ann’s who spoke of receiving a postcard from her from a ship during the disputed time period. So many questions remain for me.
