Dan Nakaso of the Honolulu Advertiser has the story - now let's see if any of the crazies will believe it.
Come on below
Nakaso's Article opens pretty directly - quoting Chiyome Fukino, MD, the Director of the Hawaii State Department of Health:
"I, Dr. Chiyome Fukino, director of the Hawai'i State Department of Health, have seen the original vital records maintained on file by the Hawai'i State Department of Health verifying Barrack Hussein Obama was born in Hawai'i and is a natural-born American citizen. I have nothing further to add to this statement or my original statement issued in October 2008 over eight months ago...."
Dr. Fukino first tried to put the rumor to bed before the election, as had Republican Governor Linda Lingle - but apparently to no avail - witness Mike Stark's entertaining interviews today.
But Neil Abercrombie slipped in the shiv with his Hawaii resolution today
A congressional resolution introduced by Hawaii Rep. Neil Abercrombie commemorating the 50th anniversary of Island statehood was postponed today apparently because of a "whereas" clause noting Obama's Hawaii birthplace.
The line "Whereas the 44th President of the United States, Barack Obama, was born in Hawaii on August 4, 1961;" has been construed by some who believe Obama is not a U.S.-born citizen as a thinly veiled attempt to get Congress to affirm Obama's U.S. citizenship.
As Nakaso noted:
So-called "birthers" denounce the notion that Obama was born in Kapiolani Maternity & Gynecological Hospital in Honolulu on Aug. 4, 1961, despite court rulings and statements by Fukino and Hawaii's Republican governor, Linda Lingle.
Despite Michele Bachmann's attempt to derail the reso, it ended up passing 378 to naught. I guess nobody wanted to go on the Congressional Record as being nuts. Even Bachman ended up voting in favor of the resolution.
