The director of Hawaii’s Department of Health confirmed on Friday what Barack Obama has been saying all along: the presidential candidate was born in Honolulu.
“There have been numerous requests for Sen. Barack Hussein Obama’s official birth certificate,” said Chiyome Fukino. “State law prohibits the release of a certified birth certificate to persons who do not have a tangible interest in the vital record.”
Citing her statutory authority to oversee and maintain Hawaii’s vital records, Fukino said she has “personally seen and verified that the Hawaii State Department of Health has Sen. Obama’s original birth certificate on record in accordance with state policies and procedures.
“No state official, including Gov. 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 Hawaii,” Fukino added.
Lingle, a Republican, has been campaigning on the Mainland for Obama’s opponent, Sen. John McCain of Arizona.
Obama, a Democratic senator from Illinois, was born Aug. 4, 1961, in Honolulu. He graduated high school at Punahou School in 1979.
That's not what she said.
““State law prohibits the release of a certified birth certificate to persons who do not have a tangible interest in the vital record.”
How do we the people not have a tangible interest in this? It’s a matter of constitutional law and effects the presidency?
It doesn't say what's on it, just that they saw it.
Then why does he refuse to share it, even while he is being sued? McCain had no problem showing his and that was without people resorting to suit
her report sounds like B.S. to me
Are we talking Midnight Run here ?
You bet. That’s why he produced it immediately to end those lawsuits...
(I’m assuming a sarcasm tag isn’t necessary.)
He should redistribute BO’s BC.
More Cowbell?
Did she mention any forensic credentials? She may have seen a birth certificate, but can it pass close scientific analysis? Did it appear over the weekend while Barack was visiting grandma?
Nope! The director did not say that!
If the director **really** wanted to put this matter to rest she would have plainly said, “Obama was born in Hawaii!”
No...Essentially she said that a certificate exists. That certificate could be anything at all.
Where does the birth certificate say Obama was born? That is vital information needed before he is sworn in, if he wins the election.

This post is a lie as the one before this one!
We are going to win this!!!
The two words are B*LL pUcky.
That is a REAL article. And they are trying to pass it off as OK end of story.
She just said she saw it....goodie goodie, what does it say and SHOW US.
Then they just had to tack on that bit about graduation. How amateur can you get?
I am sure they are working with the African Press International to release a copy soon, maybe within 24 hours on Fox.
