Death Records Now

Judge tosses Obama birth certificate suit
Pacific Business News (Honolulu)

A lawsuit that tried to force the State of Hawaii to release a copy of President-Elect Barack Obama’s birth certificate has been dismissed.

Honolulu Circuit Court Judge Bert Ayabe on Wednesday ruled that author Andy Martin had no standing under state law to obtain a copy of the birth certificate.

Ayabe said in his decision that Martin had no “direct and tangible interest in the vital statistic records being sought.” Hawaii public records laws are more restrictive than in many states and allow birth and death certificates to be released only to family members and those with a “direct” interest.

The inability of Obama critics to put their hands on his actual birth record from a Honolulu hospital in August 1961 has fueled rumors that he wasn’t actually born in the United States but instead was born in Kenya, his father’s home country.

Martin, a Chicago-based author and Obama critic, moved to Hawaii in November in an attempt to dig out more information about the candidate and filed the lawsuit demanding access to the birth certificate.

In response to the clamor, the director of Hawaii’s Department of Health, Chiyome Fukino, confirmed that Obama’s original birth certificate was on file and that she had personally seen it.

The above is a news report I found online, there are many others that say the same thing. Why are people so desperate to claim Obama isn’t a citizen? Oh wait, because they lost the election and are now crying about it. I bet these same people were calling Al Gore names when he was demanding a recount, which was actually a LIGITIMATE CONCERN.
All the info I am finding says he was born in Hawaii. This cam from FactCheck.org:

“When Barack Obama Jr. was born on Aug. 4,1961, in Honolulu, Kenya was a British colony, still part of the United Kingdom’s dwindling empire. As a Kenyan native, Barack Obama Sr. was a British subject whose citizenship status was governed by The British Nationality Act of 1948. That same act governed the status of Obama Sr.‘s children.

Since Sen. Obama has neither renounced his U.S. citizenship nor sworn an oath of allegiance to Kenya, his Kenyan citizenship automatically expired on Aug. 4,1982.”

And besides, all cadidates get vetted before they can even run for president, something as important as U.S. Citizenship would not have been overlooked. The companies that handle the vetting proccess aren’t biased one way or the other, they just look at the facts. Once the the candidate is vetted, he or she can run, all the fact checking for eligablity is done beforehand.

You answered your own question… its NONSENSE.

I did a search of Hawaii records, when the issue of his citizenship first came up. It was interesting. While copies of the documents could not be obtained, there was 3 live birth, and 3 death certificates for a person with Obama’s name. I have dealt with immigration issues. Identity theft was not an offense back then. Even today, it is common if a US citizen child dies, large families with non-citizen children, relatives, or friends in the community are given permission to use the birth certificate, to gain access to our great Nation.

Is it possible that everyone is focusing on the wrong issue – instead of birth certificate, perhaps access to death certificates would be revealing. This would make both the State of Hawaii accurate in their statement that an Obama was born there, and Obama’s grandmother correct in that knowing she was present at this man’s birth. – If it is not the same person.
I do not know Obama’s nationality. It is a citizens right to know. I was thinking that maybe, if irregularities with the certificate of live birth are accurate, the issue may not be the birth, but ability to trace a death certificate to that birth.
The interesting part to me was how unusual the name is; and the matching number of death and birth certificates.

|You have the mind of a detective and I would not want to be in the position of being your enemy.

Maybe you should use your investigative skills in law enforcement.

As for your observations my thoughts are:
1. hmm no one had come up with that angle before
2. this guy is a smart cookie
3. wow, if there is such a devious way of becoming a US citizen- that is one good way. I betcha it costs a LOT of money.
