Please ping me when you find out. I am very curious as to what her explanation is going to be for her reported statement.
This is my email to Janega today - he has not replied yet..
You claim that Janice Okubo claimed that Dr Fukino was confirming that 0bama was born in Hawaii.
Okubo has previously made inappropriate and risible statements about the “authenticity” of the scanned image of 0bama’s COLB placed on Fightthesmears.com so when she puts words in Dr Fukino’s mouth that could put the Dr in legal jeopardy are you not just a little bit skeptical?
Perhaps you would comment on this exchange I had with the Dept of Health in Hawaii about your claims..

The Chicago tribune published the following on Nov 3rd:
“Does this mean Obama was born in Hawaii?
“Yes,” said Hawaii Health Department spokeswoman Janice Okubo, in both email and telephone interviews with the Tribune. “That’s what Dr. Fukino is saying.”
Can you please confirm the accuracy of this statement?
Is Dr Fukino categorically stating that Barack Obama was born in Hawaii?

Thank you for your inquiry. Hawaii State law protects the birth records of all individuals born in our state under all circumstances. State law prohibits the Department of Health from disclosing any information about a Hawaii vital record unless the requestor has a direct and tangible interest in the record. This includes verification of vital records and all the information contained in a record. Direct and tangible interest is determined by HRS-338-18(b)
Aloha,
