So?

So? This is so --> If Obama's birth certificate was obtained by witness affidavit, the birth witness very likely lied to the state of Hawaii. Obama could NOT have been born in Kapi'olani hospital, now could he?

So? Are you implying that the UPI reporters and students writing for school papers are infallible?

You pick and choose what the 'facts' are you want to believe in ... followed your "infallible" logic.

Fact: We do not know for a fact if Obama was born in Hawaii.

What makes you think it would be likely?

No, I just consider the credibility of the source before I believe what I read.

As far as I can tell, there are only two news sources that reported he was born in Queens hospital: UPI and the Rainbow Newsletter.

The UPI has a history of sloppy reporting, and they actually corrected the story after it was pointed out to them that they were in error.

The Rainbow Newsletter is a school paper, and it's pretty clear that much of the article was plagiarized from a Wikipedia entry.

It amazes me how birthers seem to attach more credibility to the UPI and a plagiarzed article in a school paper than the director of the Hawaii Department of Health.

Fact: We do not know for a fact if Obama was born in Hawaii.

We have no less reason to believe he was born in Hawaii than we have reason to believe that GW Bush was born in Connecticut or that Bill Clinton was born in Arkansas.
