The press once reported that Queens hospital was the birth place for Obama

Wrong. One sloppy reporter working for UPI, using only Wikipedia to check his facts, mistakenly wrote in a single article that it was Queens. This was the only news outlet to make this mistake. Every other mainstream news source has consistently reported that it was Kapiolani.

And no, a student newsletter put out by some high school in Honolulu doesn't count as a mainstream news source.

until people working on Obama's behalf changed that to Kapiʻolani.

Obama and every single member of his family has always maintained that he was born in Kapiolani, the mistakes of sloppy reporters notwithstanding.

So how about his own website Otganizing for America? http://www.theobamafile.com/_eligibility/IssueHospitals.htm

How do you know it was sloppy writing? You have evidence to the contrary that the source was not the Obamas? It was written in many publications that Obama was born at Queens. It wasn't until World Net Daily pointed out the discrepancy that Obama was born in two different hospitals that the press started to change the facts.

They were content and happy that Obama was reported to be born at Queens.
