So basically, CNN's party line is now "the dog ate Obama's original birth certificate." LOL.

CNN President Joe Klein has reportedly sent emails to staff members of CNN's highest rated show, The Lou Dobbs Show, telling them, "this story is dead," referring to the questions that continue to plague President Obama regarding his failure to produce a valid birth certificate. The email came just days after Lou Dobbs held a segment on the issue.
But what has been missed in coverage of Klein's email is the explaination he gives as to why this story is "dead". In the email he writes:
[Klein] asked researchers to dig into the question of why Obama couldn't produce the original birth certificate. The researchers contacted the Hawaii Health Dept. and confirmed that paper documents were discarded in 2001 when the department went paperless. That reportedly includes Pres. Obama's original birth certificate.
This is the first time anyone has issued any kind of explanation as to why President Obama failed to produce the original vault copy of his birth certificate. The only explanation President Obama himself has given is to release the short form Certificate of Live Birth on his website. But as WND points out, this version is given to children of Hawaiian citizen's even if they were born outside the United States.
So does this explanation hold water? It's doubtful. Klein offers no evidence, and according to Hawaiian law, no one can gain access to the original vault copy of the long form version of a Certificate of Live Birth without expressed written consent by the holder of that certificate. So, it seems unlikely CNN researchers would be able to confirm the destruction of any such document without that consent.
The new excuse that Obama's Birth Certificate was destroyed in 2001 when the state went paperless also seems to directly contradict an article in the Honolulu Adviser from Nov 1, 2008 which contains statement's made by Hawaii's Director of the Department of Health stating they have seen and confirmed the existence of Obama's original vault copy birth certificate.
Dr. Chiyome Fukino said today she and the registrar of vital statistics, Alvin Onaka, have personally verified that the health department holds Obama's original birth certificate. - factcheck.org
The evidence seems to suggest this story is anything, but "dead".
In November 2008 the Director of Health for the State of Hawaii said they had his original long form and that she saw it. Yet CNN says it was destroyed in 2001?
November 1, 2008
“Therefore, I as Director of Health for the State of Hawaii, along with the Registrar of Vital Statistics who has statutory authority to oversee and maintain these type of vital records, have personally seen and verified that the Hawai‘i State Department of Health has Sen. Obama’s original birth certificate on record in accordance with state policies and procedures,” Fukino said.

Sounds like the bad old days when anything, anything at all, that you requested from the St Louis Army personnel records repository had been “lost in a fire”.
This would be funny if it weren’t so serious.
Are we at the “what did they know and when did they know it?” phase?
big bump
LOL. Hell, it's not a conspiracy if you can't shutup those involved.....LOL....
The DOG ate it.....what else would a CHILD say.
(1 being "don't have to", 2 being "Hawaii won't release it", 3 being "We already released it", and 3/b being "We released the only thing that's still available")
The “dead” adjective can only apply to Joe Klein’s brain.
So basically, CNN's party line is now "the dog ate Obama's original birth certificate." LOL.
Birth Certificate / DOH statement ping (2008)
Interesting analysis..and they pulled in a heavy weight at CNN to start that part of the ball rolling.
I would be happy if someone would just find the marriage documents of Ann and Sr. They claimed they were married in the divorce decree in Maui. Can anyone prove it?
Or where they married in some customary marriage in kenya and that is why they were getting the divorce.
What ever you say Joe. LOL!
There you go, giving the idiots another excuse to use! ; )
CNN makes Pravda look highly credible.
So are their any Hawaiian born freeper of the same time say 61 to 63 that has ever gotten a copy on their original BC since 2001?
The truth is I thought this was just so much bull for the longest time... but the ongoing stalling and stonewalling by Obama on something so very simple convinced me otherwise... you don't need to lie, spin and stonewall such a simple thing if your telling the truth
Our country is being run by a lying, illegal alien, commie, bullshit artist's
At least, that is what that shathead Joe Klein would have us believe, because he undoubtedly knew about the November 2008 statement from the Director of Health, he couldn't possibly have not been aware of it, could he?.
I guess the oh so smart president of CNN has not yet heard of Microfiche?
Um hum... yea right, they threw everything away.... right .... want to tell me how they verify a citizen born in Hawaii looking to get a COLB or a copy of their long form?? Hummmm???
Right, not buying it.
