Certainly. The old double standard for teacher’s pet is alive and well.
I forgot to ask something that’s been bothering me: Why can’t Duncan Sunahara get one of those nifty waivers that the Hawaiians handed out for Obama, so he can see his sister’s original records? After all, the Hawaiian Dept. of Health made a big deal out of how Obama’s records haven’t been treated any differently from anyone else’s. Would they deny Sunahara, son of a WWII hero, a veteran himself, the same waiver that Obama got?
I had not heard that Obama had gotten a waiver. By "sister's records" I assume you are referring to her Hawaiian birth certificate? I do not know for a fact that she even has one, but it has been speculated that she does.
I think in the case of Duncan Sunahara, they are going to plead that "there ARE no records, and whoever is responsible for the screw up was a bureaucrat from the 1960s and is therefore no longer available to question, so why don't we just forget the whole thing? "
A Hawaiian judge will probably let them.
