HONOLULU, Hawaii - Although the legitimacy of Sen. Barack Obama's birth certificate ![]()
The governor's office officially declined a request made in writing by WND in Hawaii to obtain a copy of the hospital-generated original birth certificate of Barack Obama.
"It does not appear that Dr. Corsi is within any of these categories of persons with a direct and tangible interest in the birth certificate he seeks," wrote Roz Makuala, manager of constituent services in the governor's office, in an e-mailed response to a WND request seeking the information.
Those listed as entitled to obtain a copy of an original birth certificate include the person born, or "registrant" according to the legal description from the governor's office, the spouse or parent of the registrant, a descendant of the registrant, a person having a common ancestor with the registrant, a legal guardian of the registrant, or a person or agency acting on behalf of the registrant.
WND was told the official reason for denial of access to Obama's birth certificate would be authority granted pursuant to Section 338-18 of the Hawaii Revised Statutes, a provision the anonymous source claimed was designed to prevent identity theft.Still, the source told WND confidentially the motivation for withholding the original birth certificate was political, although the source refused to disclose whether there was any information on the original birth certificate that would prove politically embarrassing to Obama.
The source also refused to answer WND's question whether the original document on file with the Department of Health was a hospital-generated birth certificate or a registration of birth that may have been filed subsequent to the birth.
The anonymous source made clear the Hawaii Department of Health would immediately release Obama's original birth certificate, provided Obama requested the document be released, but the Department of Heath has received no such request from the senator or from anyone acting officially on his behalf.
WND also found on microfilm in the Honolulu downtown public library a notice published under the "Births, Marriages, Deaths" section of the Honolulu Sunday Advertiser for August 13, 1961, on page B-6, noting: "Mr. and Mrs. Barack
II Obama. 6085 Kalanianaole-Hwy, son, Aug. 4."
In searching through the birth notices of the Honolulu Advertiser for 1961, WND found many birth notices were published between one and two weeks after the date of birth listed.
The notice in the Honolulu Advertiser does not list the hospital where the Obama son was born or the doctor who delivered the baby.
In a startling development, Obama's Kenyan grandmother has reportedly alleged she witnessed Obama's birth at the Coast Provincial Hospital in Mombasa, Kenya.
Friday, U.S. Federal judge Richard Barclay Surrick, a Clinton appointee, dismissed a lawsuit brought by Pennsylvania attorney Phillip J. Berg who alleged Obama was not a U.S. "natural born" citizen and therefore ineligible for the presidency under the specifications of the U.S. Constitution, under Article II, Section 1.
Berg told WND last week he does not have a copy of a Kenyan birth certificate for Obama that he alleges exists.
In Kenya, WND was told by government authorities that all documents concerning Obama were under seal until after the U.S. presidential election on November 4.
The Obama campaign website entitled "Fight the Smears" posts a state of Hawaii "Certificate of Live Birth" which is obviously not the original birth certificate generated by the hospital where Obama reportedly was born.
"Fight the Smears" declares, "The truth is, Barack Obama was born in the state of Hawaii in 1961, a native citizen of the United States of America."
Although the Obama campaign could immediately put an end to all the challenges by simply producing the candidate's original birth certificate, it has not done so. And the "Fight the Smears" website offers no explanation as to why Obama has refused to request, and make public, an original hospital-generated birth certificate which the Hawaii Department of Health may possess.

Ridiculous.We may elect a man for the highest office that hides his birth certificate,hides his middle name,and tries to hide all of his radical friends,mentors and associates.

Apparently Obama hasn't learned anything from the John Kerry fiasco, where he withheld a copy of his DD250 form that documented his military record in Vietnam. After repeated promises to the media to release the form, both before and after the election, Kerry still hasn't made the release and he has no credibility about his military service. Kerry wasn't "Swiftboated", the damage was self inflicted.
With all of the unanswered questions about Senator Obama's background, his campaign's refusal to release known information about him, and the media's failure to probe his record, I don't believe Obama can be a credible leader, if elected. As he said, he "doesn't look like all those other presidents on the dollar bills." He doesn't act like them either.
Has Palin released her tax returns, not the last I heard she was refusing and she has a legal right to do so.
What about the 1200 pages of McCains medical records(just for the last 8 years) that were only handed over to a few people in one room, no copies were allowed to be made, no camerias of any kind and they have something like 4 hours. Obama's - One page, released in full.
Remember the old adage guilty until proven innocent? Well the burden is on the parties who filed the suit to prove he was not born on US land.
McCain wasn't either but it later became US Territory and he was grandfathered in so to speak.
So what we know is that McCain was born abroad at a location that was NOT US territory but later became one and that a bunnch of yahoos are accusing Barack Obama of having a false birth certificate but without proof. Petty, shameful, rovian.
I still think it is wrong that the Democratic Party doesn't have to divulge what they used to vet or verify that Obama indeed meets the Constitutional requirements. Since they are the ones required to do so, and apparently they didn't get a copy either according to the Hawaii statement above, just how do they do that job? I think any politician from any party seeking election by the public for office with requirements for eligibility, should have to allow access to that information to the electorate. Why is it a secret, and why deny access to thier process? How do we know they the Party are even doing thier job if not? It is like the fox watching the hen-house to me, and not right in my mind.
So much for transparency and open government....
If Obama's place or state of birth were a real obstacle to his bid for the presidency then government agencies would have told us. As it is, all official agencies that have released comments or opinions to the press say that Obama's birth certificate is legit.
They only do the job they are TOLD to do, and this is one BIG secret! NEED TO KNOW ONLY!
Obama's TRIP TO HAWAII A COINIDINK?
Please bear in mind that nothing in politics happens by accident. These dates are all important.
October 18, 2008, Martin announces he files a lawsuit to force the Governor and Hawaii Dept of Health to produce a real birth certificate for Obama.
October 21, 2008, Obama announces his grandma is so ill, he has to stop campaigning to go to Hawaii to see her. He does many more appearances while grandma languishes with a broken hip and then flies to Hawaii on the 23rd.
Obama visits grandma a total of seven hours and leaves Hawaii the morning of October 25, 2008.
When grandma was ailing earlier this year, Obama opted to head to St. Thomas, Virgin Islands for fun in the sun and sand instead of visiting her.
Obama NEVER visited his MOTHER, a cultural Marxist and left-wing activist who at one time worked for the Ford Foundation, while she was dying of ovarian cancer; SHE DIED WITHOUT SEEING OBAMA AGAIN.
Obama claims he didn't know how serious her condition was; his mother was already in the hospital when Obama made that statement.
Ann Dunham died November 7, 1995. What was Obama doing at that time? He was busy building his political machine.
Obama knows on October 22, 2008, the Supreme Court in Hawaii hasn't out right ruled against Martin, they simply send him to the lower court.
The next day Obama flies to Hawaii and when he's not visiting grandma, he is doing what from the time he arrives the 23rd until the morning of the 25th?
(NOW, STAY WITH ME SANDY K., AS YOUR MESSIAH HAS HIS HANDS FULL - OH, WHERE IS THE FASCIEST MEDIA?)
There are now lawsuits in eight states: "Seattle WA. 10/22/2008 — Lawsuits in eight states as of this writing– Hawaii, Washington, California, Florida, Georgia. Pennsylvania, New York and Connecticut, are seeking judicial authority to force the certifying or decertifying of Senator Barack Obama’s qualification to run as a candidate for President as a natural born U.S. citizen. Previously, two lawsuits have failed to force the certifying documents from Obama."
What can you do? FAX your Secretary of State, State Attorney General and county clerk with a short cover letter simply stating that until the issue of Obama's birth certificate is once and for all adjudicated by the courts, we the people demand no votes are counted for that candidate on November 4, 2008.
This is a valid constitutional issue and you expect them to take it seriously. Any candidate on the ballot in any state has to be there legally.

Would it be safe to just refer to a "link" instead?
......................................................................................................
AnyHow..... We all know NOW as to WHY Obama left for Hawaii... A son a mother could only love. To whom he uses to achieve his goal of stealing the Presidency. I wonder if he would sell her soul as well for the same?
The fact that it very well seems that the judges, media all dearly loves Obama and also knowing that the Democrats own both the House & Senate - he "Obama" should try his hand at winning the lottery - May be using 6.6.6?
I believe that the only ones to turn this fatal problem into less than what it's shaping up to be - would be - for all to get out and VOTE for one of the others to whom would be the lesser of the one EVIL.
Now? First I would also like to say that I don't agree with McCain as to his views. But I do believe that we must back up out allies which includes Israel. Tighten up our borders. And bring about an America where all are united for the goal of making our country both stronger economically and safer by controlling our boarders and having all to which wants to be an American go through the same line as the ones before them and not allowed to be given a "break in line" or a "free pass".
We need to rethink Obama's taxes and see as to where Obama wants to lead our country into. This "Spreading The Wealth" seem really "Socialistic" to me and the last thing that I rather not see is that our children having to grow up in a Socialist type of country "U.S.S.A".
The fact that Obama's past associates have terrorist back grounds, his "Obama's" funding came from these terrorist organizations should have all scared out of there ......?..... minds.
My Grandfather was a strong Democrat back years ago and I believe that if he could see as to where they are today with there weak backbones allowing all that they've done to try to destroy as to what our forefathers have fought and died for and those soldiers of today are currently doing overseas - I think he would probably roll over in his grave.
Candy doesn't understand how Obama can run for office when he probably isn't a natural born citizen
I don't understand why Candy feels the need to refer to herself in the third person. But I digress...
The State of Hawaii has a strict privacy law regarding all birth certificates. You can't just ask for a birth certificate. Not Obamas. NOT ANYONE'S. Try to obtain a birth certificate for anyone born in Hawaii, unless you are that person, you cannot get it. The governor's actions are legitimate. She's probably afraid someone might try to steal it at this point.
I'm not going to rehash this mess. I've pointed out the legal and logical fallacies of this whole fiasco about two dozen times on gather. You all want to believe he was not born in the U.S. Fine. Believe that. You can also believe that grass is purple with orange polka dots to if you want, and I'm sure you can find anonymous bloggers to support the accusation. THAT DOESN'T MAKE IT TRUE.
Why else would someone support a presidential candidate who would bring 4 more years of George Bush? His policies, which admittedly John McCain shares, have decimated our economy and damaged our relationships around the world, fueling terrorism.
~Obama/Biden 08
He said one of the biggest advocates of "redistribution of the wealth" in the form of "progressive taxation" was Teddy Roosevelt. Teddy Roosevelt was a Republican. Also, it was Ronald Reagan who initiated the "Earned Income Tax" credit. This was a program to help working people who fall below the poverty line.
lol. A good point, Patricia. If the birth certificate did not exist, how could they put it under lock and key?
First off, I don't agree; but then I assume that the directives which outline the missions of those national security organizations would indicate that investigating the credentials of anyone rising to political prominence should be verified.
But if you are right, and they only do what they are told to, please tell me why 43 has not commanded those groups to investigate the Republican party's rival? It's in the national interest, eh?
Come on you idiots. With the vitriolic tripe coming out of the McCain Campaign do you really think that if there was even the slightest possibility of disqualifying Obama the RNC would not have had 500 lawyers on this 2 frickin years ago?
GOOD GOD, WHAT A BUNCH OF MENTAL MIDGETS YOU ARE!!!
I believe most parents want their daycare providers to have spotless backgrounds, great references and a clean as a whistle lifestyle. Anything less would be unacceptable. So why would we want the most important job in the world to go to someone with very CLEAR problems?
Is a little fraud here, a little radical extremist friends over there and small associations with criminals over there really nothing to worry about?
I don't know how people can be so careless.
Suzi
So my nanny choices are:
McCain and Palin: A man who calls his own wife a C*&^ in public and tells off color jokes about teenage girls (did you here the one about why Chelsea Clinton is so ugly? Her father is Janet Reno), and has a known temper. And a woman who wants to undo my child's education by teaching her that the planet is only 5,000 years old and the VP runs the Senate.
Obama and Biden. One a former president of the Harvard Law Review. The other a champion for protecting women from violence.
Gee, you are right. Damn that is a hard choice...
the crazy conservative core
are very entertaining
Instead of jacking the c3 rhetoric, how about checking facts
http://www.snopes.com/politics/obama/birthcertificate.asp
Maybe because George Bush isn't going to be our next president........
If Obama turns out to be nothing more than a usurper who has fraudulently seized control of the Presidency, not only will the Constitution have been egregiously flouted, but also this whole country could be, likely will be, destroyed as a consequence.
And if this country is even credibly threatened with destruction, every American will be harmed—irretrievably, should the threat become actuality—including those who voted or intend to vote for Obama, who are also part of We the People.
Therefore, in this situation, any and every American must have “standing” to demand—and must demand, both in judicial fora and in the fora of public opinion—that Obama immediately and conclusively prove himself eligible for “the Office of President.”

He owes it to all his faithful supporters. Berg, who files in Philadelphia, is a lifelong Democrat with no axe to grind. He stands for The Constitution, which is what BOTH parties should do. We the People ARE the Constitution, lest we've been led to believe otherwise.

"Berf, don't you feel just a little bit silly making a statement that you don't know to be true?"
Sandy Knauer, Oct 29, 2008, 12:20am EDT
I'm laughing too hard to write anything else.
Why? What it the purpose of this alleged forgery? Was it just a sloppy mistake on the part of everyone else and just an intentional cover-up by Obama or is there something more sinister at work? Is he a socialist? Communist? Terrorist sympathizer? A hell-bent wannabe despot wanting nothing more than the destruction of Israel and the US? Or is just a liar about his birth certificate?
I guess what I'm asking is this; let's just say that his birth certificate turns out to be a non-issue, what is it about him that so many on the right hate so much? I have been following this campaign since the beginning and I just can't figure it out. I hear the labels, the smears, the scramble to find something, anything to discredit him and get him out of the race as opposed to just mobilizing their voices and pushing to get their own candidate elected.
It's not over yet and I will not be at all surprised to wake up on November 5th and find President McCain and V/P Palin. Frankly, it'll upset me a bit but eventually my life will continue on. My daily struggles will be the same and I suspect it will be that way for the majority of the rest of the country.
So why do so many from the far right practically insist that life as we know it will end the moment Obama were to be elected? I truly don't understand it.
That's what has so many of us voting for Obama. How much longer can our nation go in the direction it is going, without disintegrating?
