“TOPIC: A statement by the former Hawaii Health Director, Dr. Chiyome Fukino, confirms she has seen Obama’s birth certificate WHAT THE LEFT SAYS: The director of Hawaii’s Department of Health confirmed that Obama was born in Honolulu WHAT THE RIGHT SAYS: Dr. Chiyome Fukino is biased. Also, she is a medical doctor and does not have any forensic or legal experience. She issued a legal and factual opinion based on a document that may or may not be accurate FACT: The actual statement was, “I, Dr. Chiyome Fukino, director of the Hawaii State Department of Health, have seen the original vital records maintained on file by the Hawaii State Department of Health verifying Barack Hussein Obama was born in Hawaii and is a natural-born American citizen. I have nothing further to add to this statement or my original statement issued in October 2008 over eight months ago….” Dr. Fukino did not attest to seeing the actual Certificate of Live Birth, but rather Obama’s vital records. According to Governor Abercrombie in January 2011, the definition of “vital records” was reduced to an unspecified listing or notation of Obama’s birth that someone had made in the state archives and not any type of birth certificate at all.”
Did you see this thread, ch? Lot’s of excellent info. Definitely puts a finer point on Fukino’s statement. What DID she see? How can we make any reasonable evaluation of her statement, unless we know what ‘vital records’ she talking about?
Just as important, what DOES she mean by, ‘Natural Born Citizen’??? If she’s using the term the way I understand it, she’s telling us that a British subject was NOT Barry’s father. [Unless you think the Framers put that phrase into the Constitution specifically to protect the right of future British subjects to spawn American presidents.] Is she desperately trying to signal that Barry’s baby daddy was a citizen? That would blow Dreams from my Father out of the water, wouldn’t it?
All told, her statement is worthless. W’out legal/factual clarification, it’s just mud in the water.
No - she understands like most people do that Obama is a NBC because he was born in America.
Now, I understand you feel differently, but please don’t be offended if I disagree. While no expert, I would be more willing to entertain the idea if a single conservative group like the The Heritage Foundation or the Federalist Society agree with you. Your definition of NBC doesn’t appear to be accepted anywhere else except birther sites. Know I know you have elaborate conspiracy theories to explain that away, but that is another conversation.
