Sorry, but this doesn't mean a damn thing. Obama signed a resolution for John McCain that acknowledges criteria for natural born citizenship that Obama fails to meet. Yes, he won a resounding victory over McCain, but he's also managed to figure out a way to marginalize public opposition to his birth claims with namecalling like "birthers" or worse, calling people racist for questioning his citizenship. Where's the transparency he pledged??
Okubo was absolutely right. You cannot determine the nature of an image from a photoshopped copy on a website but when the St. Petersburg Times newspaper mailed a copy of Obamas COLB to Janice Okubo she confirmed it as a valid Hawaii state birth certificate.
It was absolutely not Obot the ‘Final chapter’.
Okubo backtracks swimming fast in a later statement to the St. Petersburg weenies by the following:
“A senior official in the State of Hawaii’s Department of Health, Director of Communications Janice Okubo, confirms that the image published and circulated by the Obama campaign as his “birth certificate” lacks the necessary embossed seal and signature. Backing away from a quote attributed to her that the image on the campaign site was “valid,” she told the St. Petersburg (Florida) Times in an article published yesterday: “I don’t know that it’s possible for us to even say beyond a doubt what the image on the site represents.”
As I told you up the thread, the St. Petersburg Times article has been debunked more times than Democrats lie in a months...and that’s a whole lotta lying. You seem to always regurgitate crap that’s old news which has been hammered into submission.
Your misdirection saying Janice Okubo that she confirmed it as a valid Hawaii state birth certificate has been negated by her own words. And define “it”? “It” was certainly not what was posted online at the DailyKos.com Kooks.
A month AFTER the Politifact article in the St. Petersburg Times, Okubo reaffirms her position on Obama’s COLB. Her statements are toward the end of the article:

Totally meaningless. Non-binding not worth arguing about since it is full of fluff; a totally feeeeeeel good for and from the Hawaiian hippie - yippie Neil Abercrombie.
Lets take a look of what the meaningless and non-binding resolution says:
"(1) the first Native Hawaiian to serve in Congress, Prince Jonah Kuhio Kalanianaole;"
Wow the first native.
"(2) the first Asian-American to serve in the Senate, Hiram Fong;"
Oh wow, the first Asian.
"(3) the first woman of color to serve in Congress, Patsy T. Mink;"
Wow again!! the first color women!
"(4) the first Native Hawaiian to serve in the Senate, Daniel Kahikina Akaka; and"
Another wow! The first native!!
"(5) the first Japanese-American to serve in the Senate, Daniel Ken Inouye;"
I can't take these wows anymore... - WOW! The first Nippon-American!
But there's more!
"Whereas Kilauea ranks among the most active volcanoes on Earth;"
Kilauea, it does have many lava flows that National Geographic can film!
Whereas Hawaii has produced musical legends ranging from traditional favorites such as Alfred Apaka, Don Ho, and Genoa Keawe, to Hawaii renaissance performers such as Eddie Kamae, Raymond Kane, Gabby Pahinui, Israel Kamakawiwoole, the Brothers Cazimero, and the Beamer Brothers, and continuing on to contemporary stars such as Kealii Reichel, Ledward Kaapana, Jake Shimabukuro, and Raiatea Helm;
I've always liked Don Ho! He's the man singing ballads!!! Go Don Ho!
Game, set, and Match.
Don't you wish. Obama needed a resolution to be born in Hawaii? Hey, here's an idea. How about Obama show his real Birth Certificate instead of hiding like a girl behind laws where he violates the intent and a silly resolution written by his wacko buddy.
Suuuuuuuuuure she does.....Your link does not work... If that's in reference about of the statement from the Chicago Swamp Blog, it's total BS. The author of that silly story played word game that was taken apart a million times. You are not only the cut and paste boy you also love to regurgitate the blather that was blasted and debunked long ago.
It is Janice Okubos office that has put an Obama COLB FAQ on the web. If she has backtracked it sure doesnt show in the FAQ.
We know Hawaii says they have something on record about Obama but we don't know what it is. The issue here is Obama's COLB that was published online was never confirmed to be real or represent the facts about Obama birth records by the State of Hawaii. The dang thing is highly likely to be a forgery. ...Ding dong is anyone home?
Thank you.
I read up a bit about it, and it appears to be another forgery: http://www.wnd.com/index.php?pageId=108005
Given that Lucas Smith agreed to sign an affidavit and everything, I assume that he got scammed and was given a forgery.
We have to keep in mind that if Obama was born in Kenya, it’s very possible that the original birth certificate is no longer in a hospital in Mombasa.
We need to see the long-form birth certificate from Hawaii. If it states that Obama was born at home or something and that his mother took him to get his birth registered several days later, then we know that there’s a good chance that the Kenyan-birth story is true.
Please explain to us the difference???
It is by no means contradictory to (i) say that Obama was born in Kenya because his step-grandmother said in an interview that she remembers when Obama was born in Mombasa while (ii) affirming that the birth certificate provided by Smith is a forgery because birth certificates issued in Mombasa in 1961 looked nothing like that.
You still are tap-dancing regarding his post and thereby using the changing subject tactics!!!
Well consuming too much of this stuff often skew the objectivity???

The non-binding resolution was a political victory for Neil Abercrombie who is running for Governor. He got Republicans to go on the record, the CONGRESSIONAL RECORD, endorsing the language that Barack Obama was born in Hawaii and not one single member of the House is on record opposing that language.
Sorry, but this doesn’t mean a damn thing. Obama signed a resolution for John McCain that acknowledges criteria for natural born citizenship that Obama fails to meet. Yes, he won a resounding victory over McCain, but he’s also managed to figure out a way to marginalize public opposition to his birth claims with namecalling like “birthers” or worse, calling people racist for questioning his citizenship.

Any US Senator along with any one US Congressman or woman could have challenged certifying Obama’s Electoral College votes when they were being counted and certified by Vice President Cheney at the joint Session of Congress. Both Houses of Congress would have been required to investigate the objections to certification. No Senator and no member of the House objected (in writing) to certifying Obama’s Electoral votes, therefore he was declared duly elected and he was sworn in by the Chief Justice two weeks later.
If you don't believe me or the comments by the officials in Hawaii that they can't release without his permission, then pprove me wrong. Get a copy of the records for yourself and experience the "transparency."
Our highest public official has not opened any of his passport, selective service, school, or birth records and perhaps you haven't heard, he is fighting doing so in various courts.
I am seeking the truth by having the information made public. Waht is it you are doing?
Trick is the appropriate word. The DOH shouldn't have to play 'tricks' on people when they can provide documentary evidence to back up the claims being made (of course, the one claim can definitely not be supported by any DOH document). And you need to focus on honesty instead of labeling people with silly names. It makes faithers look insecure.
Any US Senator along with any one US Congressman or woman could have challenged certifying Obamas Electoral College votes when they were being counted and certified by Vice President Cheney at the joint Session of Congress.
I don't believe they were given a chance. And again, no senator or congressman wants to take a chance on being branded as a racist or some other silly name when they don't have a majority behind them.
I wouldn’t pat myself on the back over a nonbinding resolution. Besides, Obama’s birth claim was an aside in the resolution.
“No guts, no glory.” If the Republican Governor of Hawaii and the Republican Attorney General of Hawaii and Vice President Cheney, John McCain and Sarah Palin plus the entire Republican delegation in Congress are allowing their employees to play tricks and are afraid to take action, whose fault is that?
Vice President Cheney, in his role as President of the Senate chaired the joint session of Congress where written objections to the certification of Obama’s electoral votes could be entertained and where counting and certification of the Electoral votes was the ONLY order of business. Any member of Congress can raise a point of order under the rules of both Houses, none did. A point of order immediately suspends business as usual.
One more time, ANY repeat ANY prosecuting attorney in the nation could launch a criminal probe and subpoena Obama’s birth records.
The only nationally known figure to challenge Obama in court is Alan Keyes and he’s hardly a household name. None of the top conservative law firms or political organizations have joined in any eligibility suit or even filed an amicus brief on behalf of any lawsuit.
The persons most likely to have legal standing to sue Obama because they were directly injured by his election are McCain and Palin. They have not sued or joined in any suit.
The Republican Party deals with Barack Obama as the duly elected president of the United States. They even invited him to their winter retreat and asked no questions about his eligiblity.
Obama is 63-0 in getting legal challenges dismissed, issuing decisions in his favor or rejected by courts all across the nation and at every level of the judicial system including seven rejections at the Supreme Court.
There’s no “there” there.

A political victory for Abercrombie and the Demorats you say? No one opposed it which supposedly celebrated 50 years of Hawaiian statehood because it doesn't mean anything or change anything in law. Nothing will change the fact to where Obama was born not this or anything else.
He got Republicans to go on the record, the CONGRESSIONAL RECORD, endorsing the language that Barack Obama was born in Hawaii and not one single member of the House is on record opposing that language.
Answered above. Using the Hawaiian anniversary resolution as a vehicle to state Obama was born in Hawaii is silly, meaningless, worthless, and it did not matter how they voted. It's a big so what. "Victory" only in the minds of the feeble democrat drones.
What would matter if Obama presented his real birth certificate to a court of law for everyone to see; alas, the Dems and rat trolls must be a bunch imbeciles defending a $12 dollar birth certificate that Obama refuses to submit to a controlling authority.
