State declares Obama birth certificate genuine
Oct 31, 2008
HONOLULU (AP) — State officials say there's no doubt Barack Obama was born in Hawaii.
Health Department Director Dr. Chiyome Fukino said Friday she and the registrar of vital statistics, Alvin Onaka, have personally verified that the health department holds Obama's original birth certificate.
Fukino says that no state official, including Republican Gov. Linda Lingle, ever instructed that Obama's certificate be handled differently.
She says state law bars release of a certified birth certificate to anyone who does not have a tangible interest.

Has anyone provided even the tiniest shred of evidence that these individuals have conspired to lie?
Incidentally, from the little reading I've done it seems like karsen isn't out to lunch with the question about whether or not having a birth parent who is a citizen is sufficient to establish the citizenship of a child born in a foreign country (not even suggesting that Obama was). It seems - once again from my limited reading - to be an area of law that isn't well settled. Perhaps, though, someone could actually produce a link to a site that does establish that it is well settled.
Edit: Oops, dang. There were posts added after I started this post that sort of make it even more superfluous than it already was. Never mind. :-)
To the people who think Obama is not a naturally born US citizen, there's your answer.

uh.. it does not matter WHERE he was born, just that ONE of his parents is/was a US citizen at the time of his birth, and that he has accepted his US citizenship when he reached adulthood.
Besides, any judge that would try to set aside the election would find himself despised more than the million dollar pants judge.
That can be disputed. From what I read that isn't enough to make you a "naturally born" US citizen, which is a requirement to be President. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural-born_citizen
The point is moot though, Hawaii claims Obama as their own. Case closed.
