“Obama was born in Hawaii in 1961 to an American mother and a Kenyan father.
Reacting to Internet-fueled conspiracy theories that Obama’s birth certificate is a fake, Hawaiian officials have said they examined the document and have no doubt it is authentic.

Its amazing how the AP reporters just make stuff up... both of these statments are NOT TRUE..... If it is true can someone please post a link here so I can read it..... Hawaii officals say they have a valid BC... they don’t say which country its from.

Unfortunately that’s now typical AP, circa 2008
I could not help thinking of my decades of experience under the "Fairness Doctrine."
Nobody.. noooooo-body would ever say/write in any media "Hawaii officials say they have a valid BC... they don’t say which country its from."
There was no modern talk radio, no Internet. The only place to get "the rest of the story" and spiked stories was in limited-circulation publications at magazine shops -- often hidden behind other magazines like "Kumquat Cultivation and Cuisine." :)
Note: This was after conservative newspapers started to disappear as TV news and weekly news magazines became the primary sources for the majority of Americans. Most cities had at least two newspapers at one time.
In fact when modern talk radio began about twenty years ago the most oft-heard caller comments (that I remember) were "I didn't know others knew that! I didn't know others thought as I do! You're saying the things I believe!"
