HONOLULU – Democratic Gov. Neil Abercrombie wants to find a way to release more information about President Barack Obama's Hawaii birth and dispel conspiracy theories that he was born elsewhere.
Abercrombie was a friend of Obama's parents and knew him as a child, and is deeply troubled by the effort to cast doubt on the president's citizenship.
The newly elected governor will ask the state attorney general's office about what can be done to put an end to questions about Obama's birth documentation from Aug. 4, 1961, spokeswoman Donalyn Dela Cruz said Tuesday.
"He had a friendship with Mr. Obama's parents, and so there is a personal issue at hand," Dela Cruz said. "Is it going to be done immediately? No, the first thing on our list is the economy."
It's unclear what Abercrombie could do because Hawaii's privacy laws have long barred the release of a certified birth certificate to anyone who doesn't have a tangible interest.
Hawaii's health director said last year and in 2008 that she had seen and verified Obama's original vital records, and birth notices in two Honolulu newspapers were published within days of Obama's birth at Kapiolani Maternity and Gynecological Hospital in Honolulu.
So-called "birthers" claim Obama is ineligible to be president because they say there's no proof he was born in the United States, with many of the skeptics questioning whether he was actually born in Kenya, his father's home country.
"What bothers me is that some people who should know better are trying to use this for political reasons," Abercrombie told the Los Angeles Times last week. "Maybe I'm the only one in the country that could look you right in the eye right now and tell you, 'I was here when that baby was born.'"
Abercrombie was unavailable for additional comment Tuesday because he was vacationing on Maui, Dela Cruz said.
The Obama campaign issued a certificate of live birth in 2008, an official document from the state showing the president's birth date, city and name, along with his parents' names and races. The certificate doesn't list the name of the hospital where he was born or the physician who delivered him, information collected by the state as part of its vital records.
Abercrombie, originally from New York, befriended Obama's parents at the University of Hawaii after he moved here in 1959, the same year the islands became a state.
Abercrombie, 72, has said he remembers seeing Obama as a child with his parents at social events, although he acknowledged that he didn't see his parents with their newborn son at the hospital.
The number of requests for Obama's birth information increased this month as the Obama family prepared to vacation in Hawaii.
The Department of Health had received 27 requests for the president's birth information this month as of last Thursday, up from 16 in November, said spokeswoman Janice Okubo.
Information requests rose despite a new state law allowing officials to ignore persistent and repetitive inquiries, a law that has been used about six times by the department, Okubo said.
"It's just a few people, and some of their requests are the same," she said. "The requests fluctuate from month to month."
Nearly all birth certificate information seekers are from the mainland United States, with requests rarely coming from Hawaii residents, said Cathy Takase, acting director for the state Office of Information Practices.
Takase usually responds to appeals for Obama's birth records by telling requesters that the information they're seeking is contained in records protected by statute.

The new Hawaiian Governor allegedly claims he remembers
ReplyDeleteparties back when President Obama was a baby which his
parents took him to.
Well, why would the Governor, who is 72 years old, recall
parties of any particular summer so long ago?
Well, in Hawaii in the summer of 1959 there were parties
because on Aug. 21, 1959 Hawaii became a State of the U.S.A.
Now, look at President Obama's birth certificate. In the lower
right hand corner in tiny print are H.R.S. codes. If you read
these Hawaii Revised Statutes you will see that one of them
is subject to the requirements of more of them. All together,
they absolutely prove that this birth certificate was amended
and or altered.
It is quite possible that President Obama was born Aug. 4, 1959
rather than Aug. 4, 1961, and the birth certificate was amended
and altered to change the year so that he would appear to be
a natural born citizen.
President Nixon was impeached for fraud. Let's get the facts
that are currently being covered up, the original long form birth
certificate which will prove which facts were altered and/or amended
on President Obama's birth certificate.
Was President Obama really born before Hawaii officially
became a State of the United States?
The birth certificate President Obama has provided for the public
viewing is a laser copy, see lower left hand corner. There were
no laser printers in 1961.
If President Obama was born in 1959 then astrologically he would have
four positions in Leo. If he was born in 1961 he would have 2 positions
in Leo. Astrologically, have more leaders had more Leo positions?
If President Obama was born in 1961 then he has three cusp positions
which make a person intelligent. Intelligence is required to pull off a
good cover-up scheme if he was not born in Hawaii.
Go to the State of Hawaii online and read the Hawaii Revised Statutes
for certificates of birth, and for birth certificates, and for certification
of live birth.
It's like searching for marijuana in the United States Code.
Some of the laws are under the word, "marijuana", and some
of the laws are under the word, "marihuana". If you don't look
for both marijuana and marihuana
you won't know all of the laws we are subject to.
Keep in mind, that of the H.R.S. codes shown in tiny print in the
lower right hand corner of Obama's birth certificate, one of them
is subject to the requirements of more H.R.S. codes, so follow the
trail and you'll read the proof that this certificate was amended
and/or altered, which is why the H.R.S. codes are legal notices, legally
required to be printed on the birth certificate to warn and inform
you that it has been altered and/or amended.
