As I speculated in a recent article, Obama had a dual purpose in leaving his campaign for Hawaii. And whaddaya know? His plane had barely touched down from his trip to Honolulu - ostensibly to visit his ailing granny - when the Republican governor of the Aloha State, Linda Lingle, placed his birth certificate under seal, directed the state's Department of Health to bar access of the document to the press, and declared that the only people eligible to obtain it were the person born or someone acting on his behalf, a relative, or a legal guardian.
So did Obama request the document, the better to resolve the question of his eligibility to be president? With less than a week to go before the election - and with attorney Philip J. Berg's lawsuit questioning that eligibility on the way to the Supreme Court - we still haven't seen Obama's birth certificate!
The peculiar events of the last week leave more questions than answers.
If Lingle sealed Obama's birth certificate, then there is indeed a record of his birth in Hawaii. But as The Obama Nation author Jerome Corsi writes, there is still no answer about "whether the original document...was a hospital-generated birth certificate or a registration of birth that may have been filed subsequent to the birth." In other words, we still don't know if Obama was born in Hawaii or on foreign soil.

Has Linda Lingle endorsed Oprah’s Obama?
That wasn’t cunning, Lingle. Whatcha doing?
I don’t believe in coincidences. I bet he had to sign some legal document in person placing the birth certificate out of reach, and hid behind his poor sick granny while doing it.
Wait a minute here. I am pretty sure I have seen Lingle interviewed about Gov. Palin, who is her friend. Is it possible she was threatened?
Help educate me … I thought all birth and death certificates were part of the public record? I have access to my birth certificate, and the death certificates of my parents … as part of public records, with no prohibitions other than a small fee for processing?

If this was “Joe the Plummer’s” birth certificate, it would be on the cover of Time and Newsweak.
Unless of course there is something to hide. Then another addition will have to be made to that list- a court order.
And, another question remains, is Obama eligible to run for POTUS without producing proof of citizenship?
You would think the courts would DEMAND this question be resolved immediately before people go to the polls.
I will never understand how he can be on the ticket without providing this birth certificate.
I think she was protecting her own administration. If the birth certificate was leaked, she would get blamed, regardless of what is on it. On the other hand, if the document was subpoenaed, then she has cover. If there are any “October surprises” out there that will nail the Zero, we still have until the weekend to find out.
Curiouser and curiouser, that Curious BHO/George
How is granny anyway? I thought she was on her death bed?
Funny how everyone seems to have forgotten all about her.
Wow, he’s as bad as Johnny Fairplay from Survivor.
Can’t believe this unknown person will be the POTUS!
Scary stuff!
Seems to me Lingle is just enforcing Hawaii law, her announcement may have more to do with recent visits by Corsi and Andrew Martin. Am I missing something ?
Yes sealing under her care and custudy makes easily accessable for a Federal court get a copy in a very timely manner when an order is issued for the certificate.
Since Hawaii law provides that such records are to be kept private unless released by a family member and since everyone was trying to get it, perhaps the Gov sealed it to prevent some state employee from illegally releasing it and subjecting the state to a lawsuit. (See Joe the Plumber who probably will go after Ohio for permitting systems which allowed state emplyees to search state records snad release material about him covered by privacy laws.)
The whole ailing granny thing reeks. They built this story up for 4 whole days to garner sympathy for Obama, before he finally got around to visiting her, he stayed for 1 day, and we haven’t heard about her since.
However, right after his visit, the governor of HI, seals his BC?
Someting stinks in Aloha Land.
LOL..!!!
