Hawaii official denounces 'ludicrous' birther claims

Comments follow statements by Donald Trump questioning legitimacy of president's birth record

The Hawaiian state health official who personally reviewed Barack Obama's original birth certificate has affirmed again that the document is "real" and denounced "conspiracy theorists" in the so-called "birther" movement for continuing to spread bogus claims about the issue.

House Budget Committee chairman Paul Ryan defended his plan to redesign the government’s biggest health insurance plans on NBC’s Meet the Press Sunday, saying it was necessary to avert a sovereign debt crisis.

"It’s kind of ludicrous at this point," Dr. Chiyome Fukino, the former director of Hawaii's Department of Health, said in a rare telephone interview with NBC.

Fukino, sounding both exasperated and amused, spoke to a reporter in the aftermath of Donald Trump's statements on the NBC Today show last week questioning whether Obama has a legitimate birth certificate.

Trump, who says he is considering a run for president, repeated his claims on CNN's "State of the Union" Sunday, saying that "nobody has any information" about the president's birth and that "if he wasn't born in this country, he shouldn't be president of the United States."

The Hawaiian IT department and supervision thereof is a total joke.

Here is the State Auditor’s Report from March 2009 and judge for yourself.

I’m trying to find out if things have improved since then. I doubt it.

BC3: So if he had a delayed bc (which some think has been proven by analyzing the carefully parsed responses to UIPA requests) then possibly this supplementary evidence is what is on file in that bound book on the first floor of the HDOH. Notice that it’s NOT probative or official until it’s presented to a judicial or administrative body as evidence and then authenticated. In his case, he’s NEVER presented anything, even the COLB, to any court and he’s had many opportunities. So is this just a set of affidavits purporting to document his birth in Hawaii, but these have NEVER been accepted by the State Registrar because they’ve never been authenticated by an investigating body? Is this why these particular vital records can’t be photocopied by him or released to him, but he himself can go look at them? Obviously, whatever they are, a subpoena would bring them to light. That’s why his lawyers have argued against discovery. So far, successfully.

He was talking about a newspaper article that contained an interview of BHO Sr. In the article, BHO Sr. didn’t mention Barry or his mother.

The only thing “ludicrous” is that pathetic joke in the White House that calls himself President.

Health Director Dr. Chiyome Fukino said she hoped to end lingering rumors about Obama’s birthplace.

Even if Barry Soetoro aka Barack Hussein Obama had been birthed in the Lincoln Bedroom of the White House he is NOT a NATURAL BORN CITIZEN.

Sarah Palin on Trumps investigation:

“I appreciate that ‘The Donald’ wants to spend his resources in getting to the bottom of something that so interests him and many Americans - you know, more power to him,” former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin said Saturday on Fox News. “He’s not just throwing stones from the sidelines; he’s digging in there.”

"I think (Obama) was born in Hawaii,” Mrs. Palin said, citing the 1961 newspaper birth notices, but “obviously there’s something there that the president doesn’t want people to see. … He’s going to great lengths to make sure that it isn’t shown. … That’s kind of perplexing.”

Perplexing? LOL. Gov Sarah is too d*mn polite...

I think it’s actually his college years.

Either:

A - he was adopted by his stepfather and thus is an Indonesian citizen, and said so on his college apps. In this case, he’s ineligible for the Presidency.

B - he was NOT adopted, but, instead, lied and told his college he was an Indonesian citizen, even though he wasn’t. In this case, he may be a citizen of the US, but a lying citizen who committed major fraud when he enrolled in college.

If Trump *really* wants this (the Presidency), he should say that his first action as President will be to pardon Lt. Col. Larkin.

,,,,,the difference/distinction between democrats and republicans IS crystal clear,,,,,

Joshua Wisch: Democrat (*hack)
Age: 29

Education: High school in Ohio, Carnegie Mellon University, Georgetown University Law School

“I met my wife in college, and she is a local girl. We came back here, and I love Hawaii and I will be here until I die,” said Wisch, former chairman of the local Howard Dean presidential campaign.

After Dean quit the race, Wisch stayed involved with the local Democratic Party and was offered the position of organizing the state House Democratic campaigns. He left his job as an attorney with Cades Schutte to work full time for the Democrats.

While going to law school, Wisch worked in Congress for the late U.S. Rep. Patsy Mink and worked on her last campaign in 2002.

“She was fantastic. I loved working for her. She got a tremendous amount of work done for her constituents,” Wisch said.

Wisch said he hopes to use his skills to elect more Democrats to the state House.

“There really is a big difference between Democrats and Republicans, and you will see that during the campaign. The distinction will become crystal clear,” Wisch said.

In Jack Cashill’s book,”Deconstructing Obama,” he quotes an excerpt from Dreams from My Father,” that Obama found a newspaper article about his father’s departure for Harvard among papers that included his birth certificate and vaccination papers. Obama has his birth certificate.
