I didn’t ask to see an amended birth certificate because DOH rules and HRS 338-18 don’t allow me to see that. I did ask for index records for delayed birth certificate, Certificate of Hawaiian Birth, no records, and pending. I was told the only index information they can give me is

Obama II, Barack Hussein, male, birth.

I asked them to fill out a “Notice to Requestor” form showing whether the index data they gave me matched what I had requested, or whether it was being denied. Okubo said she doesn’t have to fill out a NTR.

So she never told me whether my request was being denied or whether the record exists. Nor did she use a Glomar response, which is what she was trying to do. She knew she couldn’t use a Glomar response though, because what I was asking for (the status of the record) is not protected from disclosure.

So basically she refused to respond to the request I made and substituted a request for generic index records and answered that.

That’s the way they operate there. If you’d like to see the e-mails I could get them to you.

Let me be clear that I am not saying you are wrong in your conclusions because I have no way to make that determination. But I also don't believe that we can make an absolute determination that the HDoH confirmed anything either. I think you've made some good conclusions and some probable conclusions. I also think that some of your conclusions are based on TerriK's interactions and therefore cannot be confirmed because Okubo was playing fast and loose with her responses to Leo and TerriK.
