Obama was
definitely born in Hawaii -- well, maybe?
Barack Hussein Obama II -- Frequently
Asked Questions
Below are
responses
to frequently asked questions related to all records and documents
maintained by the Hawaii State Department of Health (DOH) related to the
vital records of Barack Hussein Obama II. Frequently requested
records and documents which can be released to the public are attached
by electronic link below or, for those records and documents that are
not available electronically, directions are provided for requesting
copies.
The State’s public records law, the Uniform Information Practices Act
(Modified) (“UIPA”), found at chapter 92F, Hawaii Revised Statutes
(“HRS”) requires that all government records be open to public
inspection unless access is restricted or closed by law.
Government records means information maintained by an agency in written,
auditory, visual, electronic, or other physical form, see HRS §92F-3.
The UIPA does not require an agency to provide access to government
records that state law protects from disclosure, see, HRS §92F-13 (4),
nor does it require agencies to respond to all questions asked of the
agency.
Unless a request for DOH records is specific enough to be understood,
the request cannot be responded to by the DOH.
The DOH may not have a record which is responsive to a request. The
UIPA does not require an agency to compile or create information to
respond to a request.
State law prohibits the DOH from disclosing any vital statistics
records or information contained in such records unless the requestor
has a direct and tangible interest in the record, or as otherwise
allowed by statute or administrative rule. See HRS §338-18.
Direct and tangible interest is determined by HRS §338-18(b).
In light of the unprecedented number of requests for information
relating to the vital records of President Barack Hussein Obama II, the
DOH has reviewed the requirements of UIPA and the confidentiality
provisions of HRS Chapter 338.
Based upon that review, the DOH has determined that the information
listed below constitutes all of the publicly available information
related to requests for vital statistics records pertaining to President
Barack Hussein Obama II, and the only disclosures pertaining to those
records that can be made in accordance with Hawaii law. The
Department of Health is providing links to copies of the records in the
form that they are available to the public.
1. Birth Certificate or Certificate of Live Birth
State law prohibits the DOH for disclosing any information about
a Hawaii vital record unless the requestor has a direct and tangible
interest in the record. This includes verification of vital
records and all the information contained in a record. Vital
records disclosure laws protect all birth, death, marriage and
divorce records held by the department and all amendments, changes,
supporting records, and requests related to vital records.
The law that governs vital records in the State of Hawaii is
Hawaii Revised Statutes chapter 338, which may be accessed on the
state legislature website at:
Information on how to order certified copies of vital records in
Hawaii and who is eligible to order vital records in Hawaii, is
available on the DOH website at:
Haw. Rev. Stat. §338-18(d) states, “Index data consisting of name
and sex of the registrant, type of vital event, and such other data
as the director may authorize shall be made available to the
public.” Refer to link above for HRS §338-18.
Index data consisting of name and sex of the registrant, and type
of event is made available to the public. The director, in
accordance with HRS §338-18(d), has not authorized any other data to
be made available to the public.
Index data referred to in HRS §338-18 from vital records in the
State of Hawaii is available for inspection at the Department of
Health’s Office of Health Status Monitoring at 1250 Punchbowl Street
in Honolulu. The public may sign in and inspect the names and
sex of all births that occurred in the state. Data is
maintained in bound copies by type of event with names listed
alphabetically by last name.
The index data regarding President Obama is:
Birth Index Obama II, Barack Hussein Male
To request index data, provide a first and last name of the
individual, and the type of event. There is no cost for the
first two requests; all subsequent requests require a prepayment of
$7.50 per individual and event requested along with a

Support Dwindles For Obama Secrecy Bill
The Hawaii Star-Bulletin
is reporting that support is dwindling for bill limiting access to
Barack Obama's records.
The bill, Senate Bill 2937, was the idea
of the state Health Department, which has to field daily questions about
the birth certificate, and other records that document the facts of
Barack Obama's birth. Except
on Friday -- they don't work on Friday, according to this report.
The Media Council of Hawaii protested the proposed bill, saying that
it could be used to needlessly restrict public information. Chris
Conybeare, Media Council president, commented, "Any new exception to the
public information law is really bad.
"This will not stop people
like the 'Birthers' from asking
about Obama's birth certificate, but it could curb legitimate public
interest groups or the news media from requesting documents," Conybeare
said. Which of course, the
ObamaMedia has not done -- why, do you think, that is?
He added that because the OIP is already working with a reduced
staff and closed on Furlough Fridays, giving it new duties will not be
efficient. "The only thing this will do is just jam up the system,"
Conybeare said.
Hawaii lawmakers are moving closer to
passing the "Stonewall" bill -- SB2937 -- allowing the state to
ignore requests for Barack Obama's birth certificate and related
records.
A conference committee unanimously voted Tuesday to
advance the bill to final votes in the House and Senate.
The
proposal allows state government agencies not to respond to follow-up
requests for information if they determine that the subsequent request
is duplicative or substantially similar to a previous request -- which
they will
The bill is aimed at so-called "Birthers,"
who question Obama's eligibility to hold the Office of President of the
United States of America.
Again, the eligibility issue is mischaracterized by the writer.
The closing sentence is, "They say he was actually born outside the
United States, and therefore doesn't meet a constitutional requirement
for being president."
Some do. Some don't. However,
Obama's reluctance to provide the most basic documents for inspection
has caused millions to be suspicious.
Why all this fuss? We
know Obama has a birth certificate. He says so on page 26 (bottom
paragraph) of his automythology, "Dreams..."
He would have needed
to produce his Certificate of Birth to obtain a driver's license, and a
passport. Since he has both, he's produced the document
previously.
Why the reluctance now? Oh, I remember, you
don't have to be a "natural born" citizen to get a driver's license.
Hawaii Votes To Limit Obama Document
Requests
The Washington Post
reports that Hawaii legislators have passed a measure allowing a
state agency to ignore repeated requests from a person or organization
for records relating to Barack Obama.
The measure approved
Tuesday by the state Legislature would carve an exemption in the state's
public records law and allow officials to ignore all kinds of
duplicative requests, including those for Obama's birth certificate.
Hawaii Health Director Dr. Chiyome Fukino has issued two statements
since 2008 saying she had seen vital records proving Obama is a
natural-born American citizen. Obama was born in Honolulu to a
Kenyan father and an American mother.
But state officials say
they still get between 10 and 20 e-mails each week seeking verification
of Obama's birth.
The bill now goes to Republican Governor Linda
Lingle.
Here we go again --
the ObamaMedia flagrantly lying in the defense of their Obamamessiah,
claiming Obama has been proven to be a "natural born" citizen right
before publishing the very reason he is not a "natural born" citizen --
"Obama was born in Honolulu to a Kenyan father..."
Further,
Fukino is neither authorized, not qualified to declare Barack Obama a
"natural-born" American citizen.
But beyond that, Jill T.
Nagamine, Deputy Attorney General of the State of Hawaii,
will not,
or cannot corroborate any of the Department of Health’s public
statements regarding the alleged facts of the birth of Barack Hussein
Obama in Hawaii.
Hawaii State Law Does Not Hide Obama’s
Birth Certificate
In January (2011) Hawaii Gov. Neil Abercrombie
took it upon himself to obtain Obama's long-form birth certificate --
his investigation was supported by a search warrant.
Abercrombie
was
unable to find any documentation for an Obama Hawaiian birth except
for a "recording" in the Hawaii State Archive. Abercrombie is
quoted as saying:
"It was actually written I am told, this is
what our investigation is showing, it actually exists in the
archives, written down ..."
No birth certificate -- just a "recording?"
It was time to revert to Hawaii's Plan A.
Abercrombie, having
failed in his mission, hid behind Hawaii's privacy laws that, according
to
this AP report, bar the release of birth records unless the
requester is someone with a tangible interest, such as a close family
member.
Well, that's just more dissimulation.
In the
opinion of
Butterdezillion, Hawaii state law doesn’t hide Obama’s birth
certificate. At this point, based on what
HRS 338-18 and (UIPA)
actually say, and the Office of Information Practices (OIP)
Opinion Letters
interpret, there are four reasons that Hawaii law actually REQUIRES his
birth certificate to be disclosed -- although a CERTIFIED birth
certificate can only be disclosed to someone who has a "direct and
tangible interest."
1) Obama already claims to have
published his COLB so there is no longer any privacy exemption to
disclosure that applies.
2) There is a "scintilla" of
public interest which outweighs any privacy exemptions if they
existed.
3) The HDoH Director already made a public
statement regarding what is on those records, and any records
created and maintained for the purpose of informing the public are
automatically public records. When Fukino stated that she had
seen the vital records verifying that Obama was born in Hawaii, that
automatically made all those records public -- regardless of any
privacy interests -- because the public has to have a way of holding
their public officials accountable to the truth.
4) the
HDOH Administrative Rules -- which Fukino illegally hid until a year
after the election -- say that anybody who asks for it can receive a
NON-CERTIFIED copy of any abbreviated BC (COLB) in their office.
Unfortunately, Hawaii is not following their rules or laws these
days. Apparently not even the judges.
Everything these people are saying about how the
records CAN’T be disclosed because the law forbids it is UTTER BS.
The laws actually REQUIRE disclosure of the records.
