There is no proof that the document put on the White House web site is the document provided by the State of Hawaii to Obama. The original was given to Barack Obama and the document placed on the white house web site has been declared a fraud by literally dozens of document and software experts.
There is a chain of custody problem here and the evidence points to the fact that the document on the White House web site has been tampered with.
“Chain of custody” is as irrelevant as the pdf. image.
If a court or a congressional committee wanted to investigate this issue, they would order a hard copy of the birth record directly from the state of Hawaii. They wouldn’t use internet posted scans or even Obama’s copies.
Hawaii laws allow for a copy of a confidential birth record to be issued to: “a person whose right to examine or obtain a certified copy of the record is established by an order of a court of competent jurisdiction.” (Hawaii Revised Statutes 338-18(b)(9)
The Director of Health for the state of Hawaii holds regular press briefings. Any member of the media can ask her if there is any difference in data between the document she released and what is on the White House web site.
The information from a birth record that is relevant to Article II, Section 1 eligibility is name, date of birth and place of birth. The other constitutional requirement is 14 years residence in the US. That’s not found on a birth certificate.
In 2008 and 2009, the previous Director of Health issued two media releases concerning the Obama birth record:
STATEMENT BY DR. CHIYOME FUKINO October 31, 2008
“There have been numerous requests for Sen. Barack Hussein Obama’s official birth certificate. State law (Hawai‘i Revised Statutes §338-18) prohibits the release of a certified birth certificate to persons who do not have a tangible interest in the vital record.
“Therefore, I as Director of Health for the State of Hawai‘i, 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.
“No state official, including Governor Linda Lingle, has ever instructed that this vital record be handled in a manner different from any other vital record in the possession of the State of Hawai‘i.”
STATEMENT BY HEALTH DIRECTOR CHIYOME FUKINO, M.D. 7/27/09
“I, Dr. Chiyome Fukino, Director of the Hawaii State Department of Health, have seen the original vital records maintained on file by the Hawai‘i State Department of Health verifying Barack Hussein Obama was born in Hawai‘i 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.”
And the previous Governor of Hawaii also made a statement on May 2, 2010:
“You know, during the campaign of 2008, I was actually in the mainland campaigning for Sen. McCain. This issue kept coming up so much in the campaign, and again I think it’s one of those issues that is simply a distraction from the more critical issues that are facing the country. And so I had my health director, who is a physician by background, go personally view the birth certificate in the birth records of the Department of Health, and we issued a news release at that time saying that the president was, in fact, born at Kapi’olani Hospital in Honolulu, Hawaii. And that’s just a fact. And yet people continue to call up and e-mail and want to make it an issue. And I think it’s, again, a horrible distraction for the country by those people who continue this. ... It’s been established. He was born here.”
—Governor Linda Lingle
Huh?
If Obama is a natural born citizen why on earth would he post FORGERIES???
Unbelievable that you can defend that!
One question:
Has ANYONE in any official capacity in the State of Hawaii certified that the PDF document posted on the White House website purporting to be Barack Obama’s long form birth certificate is, in fact, an EXACT COPY of the document on file in the Official records of the State of Hawaii?
