I keep asking Obamaloons like - where was is he born and how do you know that is a fact.
The Associated Press quoted Chiyome Fukino as saying that both she and the registrar of vital statistics, Alvin Onaka, have personally verified that the health department holds Obama's original birth certificate.
Honolulu Advertiser, Nov. 1 2008: "This has gotten ridiculous," state health director Dr. Chiyome Fukino said yesterday. "There are plenty of other, important things to focus on, like the economy, taxes, energy." . . . Will this be enough to quiet the doubters? "I hope so," Fukino said. "We need to get some work done."
Fukino said she has âpersonally seen and verified that the Hawaii State Department of Health has Sen. Obamaâs original birth certificate on record in accordance with state policies and procedures."
