Unless you were hatched in remote Appalachia or before 1902, AND if you born in an operating hospital ( such as Obama “was”) there are records.

You sound less than familiar with hospital procedure and medical records laws. How long hospitals are required to retain records is set by state law, and varies from state to state. There is also a federal requirement for those covered by HIPAA, which mandates retaining records for six years. Hawaii law says

Hawaiian health care providers (such as medical doctors, surgeons, podiatrists and hospitals) generally must keep your whole medical record for at least seven years after the last time they entered information in your record. Health care providers must keep minors’ medical records at least until the minor turns 25.

So, depending on the state, and how old Sherman Logan is, those records may have been long since shredded.

I am older than Obama and the not so large, somewhat out of the way hospital where I was born has documentation of my mother’s admission and my arrival there.

It’s also *gasp* on my birth certificate (but I guess that’s confidential HIPPA info, right?...guess birth certificates that document what hospital a person was born in, has been against the law all the years! Wow. Who knew?)

Drop your red herring minutia.

Here’s a link for St. Joseph’s Hospital in Tampa.

They keep medical records for 10 years.

So if a future president is born in SJH in 2011 and there are no records of his admission available in 2061, is this suspicious? Is it evidence of conspiracy?

To make this lack of documentation fly as a conspiracy somebody needs to show records from this period are available for others. But I have found remarkable lack of interest in doing so. Posters just keep repeating, “there are no records,” as if this in itself proves something.

IMO, it makes us conspiracy nuts look really stupid.
