In June, 2008, after viewing the Certification of Live Birth, provided on Obama’s Fight the Smears website, Janice Okubo, of the Hawaii Health Department stated, “I don’t know that it’s possible for us to even say beyond a doubt what the image on the site represents.”

It should be noted that this statement is found in the same article that the liberal Snopes uses as proof that Hawaii verified Obama’s Certification of Live Birth as being genuine, and was Okubo’s final word on the matter. Hawaii will not even state that they issued the document to Obama. It should also be noted that the State of Hawaii routinely issues COLBs to children born OUTSIDE of the United States, when their birth is registered with that State. When the birth is registered, a birth announcement is placed in the newspapers-so neither the COLB or the Newspaper announcements are proof that Obama was born in Hawaii. It is true that Fukino stated that vital records indicate that Obama was born in Hawaii, but it is illegal for her to make such a statement, if she was referencing birth records, so it is quite possible that she was only getting that information from the letter that Obama sent to the hospital during their Centennial celebrations, claiming he was born there. At any rate, we are being asked to accept the word of one Obama supporter, who will provide no documents to back up her claim.
