Today there is a report out that Linda Lingle, Gov of Hawaii has now come out and said Obama was definitely born at Kapoliani Hospital....interesting timing with all these high profile leaks in the boat starting to show up.
At the bare minimum, the media needs to aks the WH what Michelle means by this.
(Related from thread earlier this AM:)
The governor of Hawaii is now publicly voicing the alleged exact location of Obama’s birth, saying “the president was, in fact, born at Kapi’olani Hospital in Honolulu, Hawaii.”
The disclosure is believed to be the first time a state government official has declared the precise place where Obama was born, despite numerous other published claims, including some for a different hospital in Honolulu — Queens Medical Center.
The remark came Sunday night when Gov. Linda Lingle, a Republican, was interviewed on New York’s WABC Radio by host Rabbi Shmuley Boteach. (The subject was addressed at the 77-minute mark.)
“It’s been an odd situation,” Lingle said, referring to the continuing controversy over the disputed natural-born citizenship of Obama. “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.
“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.”
Lingle’s statement, above, is a lie. Fukino’s statement never identified Kapiolani as Obama’s birthplace — never, never, never!
Fukino said, “[I have]...personally seen and verified that the Hawai‘i State Department of Health has Sen. Obama’s original birth certificate on record...,” so there is a document. Hawaii released an Adobe document containing an alphabetical list of births, produced from the Hawaii Birth Index database, containing the names of those issued Certificates of Hawaiian Birth from 1911 to 1971, for those who did not get a standard Birth certificate, at birth.” The name Obama does not exist.
Beyond the lie, if Lingle disclosed Obama’s birth hospital without his permission, she has committed a misdemeanor. If Obama gave permission for this public disclosure, then Hawaii no longer has a basis for maintaining the privacy of Obama’s birth records.
Although the governor now claims she issued a news release stating Kapi’olani is Obama’s birthplace, the actual release said no such thing, making no reference to Kapi’olani nor any other specific location of Obama’s birth.
But Lingle’s radio statement could add further confirmation that a long-form, hospital-generated “Certificate of Live Birth” still exists.
Ironically, the governor’s pinpointing of the Kapi’olani Medical Center for Women and Children as well as her health director’s previous public statements on the matter statement are in apparent violation of Hawaii state law.
In two separate telephone interviews, Janice Okubo, the Health Department’s public information officer, said that Hawaii law prohibited her from commenting on the birth records of any specific person.
Okubo cited Hawaii Revised Statutes Section 338-18, which pertains to “Disclosure of Records.”
That section states regarding the release of vital statistics records, “The department shall not permit inspection of public health statistics records, or issue a certified copy of any such record or part thereof, unless it is satisfied that the applicant has a direct and tangible interest in the record.”
Politifact actually has Okubo on the record denying that the electronic COLB image provided by the Obama campaign can be authenticated by her or by anyone at DHOH!
Hawaii has previously released Obama’s birth date, and birth certificate number, which out of sequence with the Nordyke twins, born the day after Obama.
Remember, the COLB has only a “Filed” state and not an “Accepted” state. Until it’s accepted by the registrar it’s nothing.
Hawaii also confirmed Obama’s “vital records” have been amended.
So, little by little, Hawaii violates their own rules by releasing selected bits of information, while refusing to release the original, hospital-produced birth certificate.
Jill T. Nagamine, Deputy Attorney General for the State of Hawaii, has made it clear that her office will not corroborate or back in any way the July 27, 2009 Statement of Dr. Chiyome Fukino, Director of the Hawaii Department of Health, which declared Obama Hawaiian-born and a “natural-born American citizen.”
However, this changes nothing. As long as Barack Hussein Obama Sr. is the father of Barack Hussein Obama II, Obama remains ineligible to serve as POTUS and CiC, and sits in the Oval Office as an usurper.

EXACTLY
The media should be asking why MO said her husband was a Kenyan and why did she says Barack homeland Kenya
I am so disgusted with the MSM, they have covered for their messiah since he came on the scene back at the Dem convention.
Every day I tell different people about things like this and they had no idea.
It’s high time we got talk radio and conservative sites to mail into the MSM and keep asking and demand they tell the truth
If just 10,000 mailed ion to CNN and asked why are you not asking MO about this they would have to in the end
