CNN Investigation: Obama 'Birther' Claims Have No Merit See show times »
From Gary Tuchman, CNN April 25, 2011
A former Hawaii health officials tells CNN she has "no doubt" Obama was born in Honolulu Obama in 2008 produced a "certificate of live birth," which is legally accepted Various Obama family acquaintances remember the president's birth in 1961 Some critics of the president continue to express doubts about his country of birth
(CNN) -- Was Barack Obama really born in America? A new CNN investigation reveals what most analysts have been saying since the so-called "birther" controversy erupted during the 2008 presidential campaign: Obama was born in the state of Hawaii on August 4, 1961. Period.
Obama passes CNN birther investigation
While the president has made light of the controversy, the question remains political red meat for some of his critics. A recent CNN/Opinion Research Corporation poll showed that nearly 75% of Americans believe Obama was definitely or probably born in the United States. More than four in 10 Republicans, however, believe he probably or definitely was not born in America.
The U.S. Constitution says only "natural born" citizens can become president -- a vague clause that some members of the birther movement contend disqualifies Obama because, they insist, he was born outside the United States. Skeptics contend, among other things, that Obama was born in his father's home country of Kenya. Potential GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump recently seized on the issue, saying he had doubts about Obama's background.
Dr. Chiyome Fukino, a former director of the Hawaii Department of Health and a Republican, told CNN in her most extensive comments to date that she has "no doubt" Obama was born in the state.

Show us the evidence for that assertion.
You can’t, because Obama wasn’t born in America
“The Emperor is fully dressed.”
They think we will believe it if they repeat it enough.
Show us the LFBC.
“You can’t, because Obama wasn’t born in America”
And, or, his daddy was not a citizen.
I am more inclined to believe that’s the sticking point.
“The debate has ended. It’s over.” Algor
Release the Long Form Birth Certificate, already!
The document will speak for itself
Ha ..could have been born in the Lincoln bed...but his father (as far as we know) was not a US citizen.....and his mother at age 18 had not lived in USA for more than 14 years so could not give 0bambi citizenship.
For CNN, the question was closed 3 years ago... Why are they bringing up the subject now?
One week to the day before the case in California goes to oral arguments before the Ninth Circuit. What an amazing coincidence.
Anderson Cooper had a clip on tonight about it. Typical bs party line: Already shown it. Born in this hospital. Etc.
This is from CNN who said a year ago or so that there was no long form any more for any Hawaiian as the records had been destroyed.
There were so many lies in that Anderson Cooper investigation it would be hard to pick where to start. They are so full of crap.
Quit reading at that point, shove it CNN!
Trump must be right over the target because the flak they are shooting is really thick!
Ping.
Ping!
Okay, CNN, I believe ya. Now just show us the supporting documentation (as is customary) and we can all put this sordid episode behind us.
LOL! I love CNN's new name.
Where’s the birth certificate?
