"Once again I will state that HIPAA wasn’t around in 1961 ,, also stating that John Doe was delivered by Jim Smith at xx:xx am on xx,xx,1961 with Jane Doe assisting with the delivery in Downtown Hospital is NOT A CONFIDENTIALITY ISSUE ,, it is a matter of public record"

Well, you're right about HIPPA not being around in '61, because it didn't exist until 1996, but you're completely off base on the confidentiality issue.  No part of your personal medical records are a matter of public record period.  And HIPPA didn't invent privacy in medical records, it simply standardized it across all states.  I have 4 children and 8 grandchildren, 4 times I signed a release allowing the hospital to release a birth announcement, and 8 times I witnessed a similar document being signed covering my grand children.

Yes I did forget that possibility..there is something rotten in the WH.

No offense, and not saying Obama was born in the US, but I couldn’t tell you the name of the doctor who delivered me, nor the one who delivered my son. I sincerely doubt either of them would remember either of us by name and wouldn’t expect them to. That is, of course, assuming either is even still alive and, in the case of the doctor who delivered me, I would assume he is not.

None of them would speak if they were honoring their commitment to patient confidentiality. There also may not be that many people involved that are still living.

They'd be old, there was not nearly the level of "confidentiality" of medical records, especially the bare facts of someone's birth, in 1961. IN my hometown, they published the details in the newspaper. At least date, hospital, boy or girl, and parent(s) names, in fact they still do. I just checked online and they list one for Feb. 5, 2009, a girl born in the "other" hospital from the one I was born in, in... well never mind that. :) They did in Hawaii too, in 1961, less the hospital name.

The old nurses or doctors probably wouldn't think the mere fact of birth was private "confidential" information. And they probably wouldn't care about current polices on the issue. But many of them would just be gone, passed away. A nurse that was 21 in 1961 would be 68 or 69 now. Most would have been older than that, and the doctor definitely would be.

his sister says Obama was born at one of two hospitals in Hawaii(I forget the names)

Queen's Hospital and Kapiolani Medical Center.

Neither has any record of his birth.

Next?

Well, if Malcolm X is actually Obam’s dad, then he would without question be eligible to hold the Office of the Presidency.

...why don’t you post evidence that you’re a US citizen. In fact, why doesn’t everyone on this website do so.

Why the hell would we do that? None of us are running for POTUS -- yet. If and when one of us do decide to run I'm sure we would have no problem producing documentation for the only constitutional requirements to become POTUS.

Article II, Section 1
No Person [1]except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office [2]who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty five Years, and been [3]fourteen Years a Resident within the United States.

I know, but the point is that he actually went through the trouble to obtain a new one when he already had an old one in his possession. That makes Zero sense - unless the old one that he had exposed something and new short form doesn’t.

Whatever, I remember when I was very young in the 50s or 60s I got one. My mother said you had to have one.

[HawaiianGecko]

Glad to see someone understands logic.

“There are still many religious groups in America today that don’t have SSNs, legally. “Social Security was originally a universal tax, but when Medicare was passed in 1965, objecting religious groups in existence prior to 1951 were allowed to opt out of the system. Because of this, not every American is part of the Social Security program, and not everyone has a number.”

I do remember something about this. My mother saying after we got ours, we didn’t need them.

"I believe Obama was born in the United States, a child of the tooth fairy and easter bunny."

I buy the idea of a US birth as well, but I think it was in a New York City brownstone and the mother's name was Rosemary.....

Judging by the number of replies in such a short time, this subject has to been the hottest item on FR. Thanks for posting it. It has served as an excellent guide in genealogical research. Then there is the historical aspect regarding the past. I never thought I would know so much about American Presidential history. Even know about Chester Arthur the 21st President and his Irish born father.

That said, way way back even then, a Freeper (maybe a troll) said in relation to this subject "Please God make it stop". Another almost cried and asked for it "to stop,it please stop it". Like it is a bad toothache.

I know it is of paramount importance to Americans and I do not take the subject lightly. Again, I remember old David Frost was supposed to say to President Nixon. This on Watergate.

"The American people are entitled to know"

No David Frost myself, but I can do a good accent like his. I ask the same question of President Obama. He is not going to hear me. Where are the media? Where in the heck are they?

Chuckle.

1961 was 48 years ago. No doctor will remember ANYBODY he delivered 48 years ago by name. Especially not a mixed-race child in Hawaii, which was as common then as it is now.

Some mixes, White-Hawaiian, White-Japanese, Japanese-Hawaiis. but not Negro-White. Not in 1961 Hawaii.

But even if one did not initially remember the name, when the name Barack Hussein Obama, came up, I think you'd say "oh yea, I kinda remember some name like that). So you might not remember some "Trashy white girl squeezing out a dark baby" names Leonard Franklin Slye (aka Roy Rodgers BTW) you probably would remember the more exotic "Barack Hussein Obama". Assuming you were reasonably young at the time and still had all your faculties now. 1961 was almost half a century ago after all.

[HawaiianGecko]

Glad to see someone understands logic.  Applies to your post 116 too.  Everyone is so freakin' worried about everyone's rights except the one that's about being innocent of charges until proven guilty. Very un-American and a-patriotic.

.....You Sir or Madame....

This sort of gender normative terminology is not only insensitive, it is harmful to the transgendered community, in particular the transgendered minority community.

Just to give you a friendly warning (one time only) it is also illegal under the new EEOC Regulations put in place by Barack Hussein Obama's Administration.

I hope I shall not meet you in the BHO Political Retraining Camp, where I have just accepted the post of Chief of Correctness. I am accepting the post and will start work as soon as I clear up some tax misunderstandings and send our Nanny Consuela back to Peru.

starting before 1982, if your children were on AFDC, they needed a social security number.

[Neidermeyer]

but you’re completely off base on the confidentiality issue. No part of your personal medical records are a matter of public record period.
***********************************************************
As a rebuttal I’ll note that hospital staff is A-OK in informing people such as photogs, your local paper and baby-formula companies about your childs birth with no authorization from you.. Why would this be different? We’re not talking about disclosing medical info.

Hawaii has always been a big lib state ,, if ANYONE there was connected to his birth it would be known.

If there was irrefutable evidence to show he was born in Hawaii the press would ask the question just to “clear the decks” .. but they never will....

[2CAVTrooper]

I remember that, and IIRC the doctor that this teacher talked to never even delivered him.

I’m lucky if I can remember the exact details of a conversation I had 2 days ago, so I agree that the whole story was fishy at best.

[usmcobra]

I just thought you’d like to know that that Obama created his COLB in 2007 roughly the same time that McCain was being questioned about his birth certificate...

“Yeah so?”

In 2004 when he was using the sealed divorce records of Jack Ryan to destroy his chances in that election, he had created a marriage certificate in that year despite the fact that he was actually married in 1992, and has recently created yet another one for this election in 2008.

Now either Obama is very sloppy with his own personal papers or he has the need to reproduce them when ever he is running for office.
