Considering how the HI DOH behaves when asked questions, I am sure and certain that no straight answer will be given by the leftist HI newspapesr.

They were rotten and leftist even when I was in HI many years ago.

Plus, they’ve probably gotten asked that hundreds of time by now and have a stock answer, which may or may not be accurate or truthful, and there is no way to know.

However back in 1961 when those birth announcments originally appeared both the Honolulu Star-Bulliten and the Honolulu Advertiser were owned by conservative Republican families.
Thurston Twigg-Smith, descendant of an original missionary family owned and ran the Honolulu Advertiser at that time and Wallace Rider Farrington owned and published the Honolulu Star-Bulliten. Farrington had been appointed Hawaii Territorial Governor by President Warren G. Harding.
Today, the Hawaii DOH works under the administration of the Republican Governor of Hawaii and big time McCain supporter, Linda Lingle.
The DOH media releases announcing that Obama was born in Hawaii carry Governor Lingle’s letterhead.

Your reply to me is completely irrelevant.

But that is irrelevant. They are not answering questions about how they did things in '61, the current team is.

Still in this instance, I think they are correct. That is the way it is done for the "standard", "Vital Statistics" type of announcements in very many places, even today. If you want more, you can pay for more, such as one listing the baby's name, maybe the grandparents, etc.

Big time McCain supporter - hahahahahaha! McRino?!? The dingbat who said we had nothing to fear from the usurper? That pretty much blows your stance out of the water.
