That only applies to a foreign birth. The state of Hawaii says that Obama was born there.
“You know, during the campaign of 2008, I was actually in the mainland campaigning for Sen. McCain. This issue kept coming up so much in the campaign, and again I think it’s one of those issues that is simply a distraction from the more critical issues that are facing the country. And so I had my health director, who is a physician by background, go personally view the birth certificate in the birth records of the Department of Health, and we issued a news release at that time saying that the president was, in fact, born at Kapi’olani Hospital in Honolulu, Hawaii. And that’s just a fact. And yet people continue to call up and e-mail and want to make it an issue. And I think it’s, again, a horrible distraction for the country by those people who continue this. It’s been established. He was born here.” —[former] Governor Linda Lingle (R-HI)

Heresay. Lingle never saw it herself and the health director has never issued an official statement, under oath, attesting to the fact. When the Sec State of Arizona requested verification, they wouldn’t even verify the date of birth. If there were an official BC ( instead of just a “record of his birth” in the archives ), the date of birth would have been easily verified.
But when required to legally verify the facts claimed on Obama’s HI BC, state registrar Alvin Onaka refused to do so for AZ SOS Ken Bennett. The only way Bennett received ANYTHING is because Loretta Fuddy put HER seal on a misleading statement that appeared to (but didn’t) verify a HI birth but failed to verify any other claim on that BC, including gender, date of birth, county of birth, mother’s name, and father’s name. So what was on the document didn’t even claim that Obama was born a male on Oahu on Aug 4, 1961, to Stanley Ann Dunham and Barack Hussein Obama - and the document did NOT bear the seal of Alvin Onaka whose signature was to be certified. It contained the seal of Loretta Fuddy whose signature was nowhere on the document, when the seal is to be used to certify her signature.
IOW, HI state registrar Alvin Onaka refused to certify ANYTHING regarding Obama’s birth or birth certificate. If what Loretta Fuddy snuck her seal onto is accurate, there is a BC on file that claims a Hawaii birth but it is not legally valid. The fact that Onaka refused to put his seal on the document leaves room for that to not even be the case.
Gov Neil Abercrombie told his friend, Mike Evans, that he and his people had looked everywhere for a birth certificate for Obama and could not find one. The most they found was some mention of Obama - actually written down - in the archives somewhere.
That quote by Linda Lingle is not even accurate; they have never issued a statement that Obama was born at Kapiolani Hospital in Honolulu, HI. If she stated as “fact” something so demonstrably untrue, why believe anything she said? Especially when 2 other very friendly-to-Obama sources (Neil Abercrombie and Alvin Onaka) have said the exact opposite of even this false statement that Lingle made - with Onaka being required by statute to verify the existence of a BC and the facts on it if the facts submitted for verification are claimed on a legally-valid BC.
HI AG DAvid Louie - after Abercrombie’s statements to Mike Evans became public - fell back on the claim that Obama’s name is in the birth index. But I have shown that the birth index was manipulated, containing the birth names of 2 adopted children whose BC’s under their birth names are not only non-valid but SUPPOSED TO BE sealed by court order. I also have evidence that the database itself was manipulated, since Virginia Sunahara’s birth record was not found in the database when the HDOH worker checked. And there is evidence that several “authentic” documents from the HDOH are, in fact, forged by someone at the HDOH who left red flags to show the forgery was done under duress (A Territory of Hawaii file number on a State of Hawaii death certificate, for instance). Who would have ordered somebody to forge a document under duress? Well, Loretta Fuddy is neck-deep in the deceptions. Absent her interference, there would be NO legal claim of a Hawaii birth for Obama. She is the ONLY one providing a legal fig leaf - impersonating her registrar to do so in the case of the BEnnett “verification”.
And now she’s supposedly dead.
