Obama Really Was Born in Hawai’i

If you won’t believe me (here, here, and here), consider taking the word of the Hawai’i state government.  Via the Honolulu Star Bulletin:

The state health director said yesterday she has personally seen and verified Sen. Barack Obama’s original birth certificate in an effort to address numerous requests for the document.[…]

State law prohibits the release of a birth certificate except to a person seeking his or her own certificate and the person’s spouse, parent and legal guardian.

But health officials have been receiving numerous e-mail and phone requests for the document, according to Janice Okubo, Heath Department spokeswoman.

Health Director Chiyome Fukino said she and the vital statistics registrar viewed and verified Obama’s birth certificate.

I doubt this will satisfy conspiracy theorists…but it would be nice if we could finally put this bit of weirdness behind us.
