Not only that.. but how did the Daily Kos get it?
From the Hawaiian State Dept of Health
What Information You Should Be Prepared to Provide
An applicant/requestor must provide the information needed to 1) establish his/her direct and tangible interest in the record and 2) locate the desired record. This will normally include:
Applicant's name, address, and telephone number(s);
Applicant's relationship to the person named on the certificate;
Reason why you are requesting the certificate;
Full name(s) as listed on the certificate;
The certificate’s file number (if known); Month, day, and year of the event; and
City or town and the island where the event occurred. For birth certificates, also provide the full name of the father and the full maiden name of the mother.
If you are applying for a certificate on behalf of someone else, you must provide an original letter signed by that person authorizing the release of their certificate to you.
So if I am reading that right... Obama himself would have had to sign off on Kos getting the cert, and if he did not allow them to get it.. they could not have ever gotten it.
If the document and the date stamp on the back are legit then this document was requested from the state a year ago — when Obama’s hopes of the nomination were still extremely slim to none. Shrillary was supposed to be the annointed one. I doubt anyone but Obama’s own campaign would have been thinking about his birth certificate in June 2007..... or maybe the Clintonista opposition research?
OTOH, if the certificate is just a fraudulent mock-up then the date stamp could have been added recently to make it appear to have been issued a year ago?? But could the “date stamp in reverse” have been made to look like it had been machine-stamped on the back of a doc that has been created in Photoshop?? Anyone know?
The most logically reason to put this out to KOS is when it is discovered to be fake, at least the Obama camp can deny any responsibility for it. If the document was legit, there is no reason for Obama's camp not to officially release to some reliable media source. The release of this was damage control, but it was done in a manner that raises bigger questions.
