State officials did not say that at all. The newspaper spun what they said.
Chiyome Fukino said "I as Director of Health for the State of Hawaii, along
with the Registrar of Vital Statistics who has statutory authority to
oversee and maintain these type of vital records, have personally seen
and verified that the Hawaii State Department of Health has Senator Obama’s
original birth certificate on record in accordance with state policies and
procedures. No state official, including Governor Linda Lingle, has ever
instructed that this vital record be handled in a manner different from
any other vital record in the possession of the State of Hawaii."
That is not the same as saying he was born in Hawaii.
What they didn't explain is what is in BOX 7C of this record. Original Hawaiian
Birth Certificates had a funny thing on them in the 1960s. It allowed for births
OUTSIDE Hawaii to be registered IN Hawaii. "BOX 7C" on an Original Birth
Certificate says "County and State or Foreign Country" of birth.
The statement made today by Chiyome Fukino leaves a lot of other unanswered
questions. There is something being hidden, and it is so serious that
this original birth certificate is not being presented.
