Family of doctor who delivered Obama 'honored'

Dr. David Sinclair's six children grew up accustomed to him often leaving home at all hours and holidays to deliver babies.

On Wednesday, the late Honolulu obstetrician's family members were "blown away" and "honored" to learn that a newborn he delivered in 1961 was President Barack Obama — a discovery that came after the White House released a copy of the president's original birth certificate.

Below Obama's mother's signature was one which appeared to read: "David. A. Sinclair."

"It's my husband's signature," said his widow, Ivalee Sinclair, 82, from her downtown Honolulu office. She held up a copy of the birth certificate she printed from the Internet and pointed to the signature, recognizing his familiar left-handed cursive.

So-called "birthers" have questioned Obama's birthplace, espousing theories that he was not born in the United States, possibly in his father's native Kenya, and therefore ineligible to be president.

Sinclair had an obstetrics and gynecology practice in Honolulu and delivered babies all over Hawaii when Obama was born in 1961, said his son Karl Sinclair, 55, of Kailua. The doctor retired in the late 1990s and died in 2003 at 81.

"What a shocker," said Karl Sinclair, one of six children. "It's amazing. I'm blown away by it, quite honestly."

They found out because one of their relatives was awake at 3 a.m. watching the news and saw the signature, said Dawn Yoshimura-Sinclair, who is married to another Sinclair son, Dr. Brian Sinclair, a neuroradiologist.

"We can attest to the fact that it is indeed dad's signature," Yoshimura-Sinclair said. "It's not a common name over here. There's no confusion that it was dad."

Ivalee Sinclair said her husband never discussed his patients and that delivering a black child born to a white mother wouldn't be a detail he would focus on.

Is that even possible ? For a white woman to give birth to a black baby ?

The only way I can see that happening is if the egg from a black woman and the sperm from a black man is donated and implanted into the white woman.

It is important to note that Ivalee Sinclair, 83, is employed by the State of Hawaii.

Born in the USA, certificate shows

The release of Obama’s birth papers puts a spotlight on an isle doctor’s family

By Dan Nakaso

On Friday, Obama sent a letter to state Health Director Loretta Fuddy, asking for two certified copies of his original Certificate of Live Birth. On Monday, Fuddy made an exception to state policies regarding the release of birth certificates and witnessed the copying of the original certificate and attested to the authenticity of the two copies, which were certified by state registrar Alvin Onaka, Abercrombie’s office said.

Original forms from the time of birth are used to produce computer-generated documents recognized as official birth certificates in the state of Hawaii.

Obama’s personal attorney, Judith Corley, showed up at the Health Department on Monday and paid $10 for the first certified copy of the state’s original certificate and $4 for the second copy.

Great! The widow sees the signature on TV and declares it is authentic. We can put this issue behind us.

And that he was left-handed. I’d still like to see what a handwriting expert came up with. Stanley Ann wrote almost exactly like him.

These people were “blown away?” If my father had delivered babies at the time of B0’s birth, I would have eagerly searched my father’s records 2 years ago to see if he had delivered him.

Snopes previously claimed Dr. Robert West to be Obama birth doctor.

Great! So, where are Dr. Sinclair’s records? Do his records show him attending the birth of Obama? (Not that it really matters, but who knows what discoveries lie around the next bend?)

Obama is an anchor baby. His mother, served as the surrogate mom.

In order to be eligible to qualify as POTUS, one must be born of two citizen parents. Obama is the son of a foreign student. A non citizen with ZERO loyalties to America.

His father, already married in his homeland, Kenya, could not be legally married to the surrogate mom. (Not that it really matters.)

Obama does not meet the requirement to serve as POTUS. He is not the child of two citizen parents. (Not that this really matters either.) Since this rule obviously no longer applies.

Next up to bat, some muslim terrorist, here on a student visa, mostly canvassing for a places to bomb, gets one of his classmates pregnant. 36 years from now, the son of the foreign student muslim terrorist, is elected POTUS. The precedent has been set.

Oh man how true!
