Obamas Hawaii birth certificate confirmed
The director of Hawaiis Department of Health confirmed on Friday what Barack Obama has been saying all along: the presidential candidate was born in Honolulu.
There have been numerous requests for Sen. Barack Hussein Obamas official birth certificate, said Chiyome Fukino. State law prohibits the release of a certified birth certificate to persons who do not have a tangible interest in the vital record.
Citing her statutory authority to oversee and maintain Hawaiis vital records, Fukino said she has personally seen and verified that the Hawaii State Department of Health has Sen. Obamas original birth certificate on record in accordance with state policies and procedures.
No state official, including Gov. 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, Fukino added.
Lingle, a Republican, has been campaigning on the Mainland for Obamas opponent, Sen. John McCain of Arizona.
Obama, a Democratic senator from Illinois, was born Aug. 4, 1961, in Honolulu. He graduated high school at Punahou School in 1979.
