“There have been numerous requests for Sen. Barack Hussein Obama’s official birth certificate. State law (Hawai‘i Revised Statutes §338-18) prohibits the release of a certified birth certificate to persons who do not have a tangible interest in the vital record. Therefore, I as Director of Health for the State of Hawai‘i, along with the Registrar of Vital Statistics who has statutory authority to oversee and maintain these type of vital records, have personally seen and verified that the Hawai‘i State Department of Health has Sen. Obama’s original birth certificate on record in accordance with state policies and procedures.”

Since Obama ran for and was elected POTUS, IMHO, every legal US citizen, born here or naturalized, HAS A TANGIBLE INTEREST IN THE VITAL RECORD. Therefore, the Director of Health for the State of Hawaii should have released it to any US citizen that requested it.

Suppose the State of Hawaii knows, by reviewing the form, that Zero is a NBC, but that there is other (legally protected) information that Zero refuses to release?

Is it your view that any citizen has a right to THAT information?
