“Hawaii officials declare Obama birth certificate genuine”
State officials say there’s no doubt Barack Obama was born in Hawai’i.

Health Department Director Dr. Chiyome Fukino said today 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.

Some Obama critics claim he was not born in the U.S.

Earlier today, a southwest Ohio magistrate rejected a challenge to Obama’s citizenship. Judges in Seattle and Philadelphia recently dismissed similar suits.”

Ok, clearly the “not born in US” challenge isn’t viable. Clearly he was born in Hawaii as now appears to definitively be the case according to State officials. We need to lay that challenge to rest. I have heard rumors of his potentially traveling abroad under a Kenyan passport and speculation that he voided his US citizenship in some fashion by doing so, but A) It’s just a rumor with no supporting evidence available B) Maybe he was a minor traveling with his father and that wouldn’t mean he voided anything or needed anykind of US loyalty oath someone mentioned C) It isn’t going to matter and I’m not sure it should
