HONOLULU -- Lost in the renewed scrutiny into President Barack Obama's birth records is the fact that anyone can walk into a Hawaii vital records office, wait in line behind couples getting marriage licenses and open a baby-blue government binder containing basic information about his birth.
Highlighted in yellow on page 1,218 of the thick binder is the computer-generated listing for a boy named Barack Hussein Obama II born in Hawaii, surrounded by the alphabetized last names of all other children born in-state between 1960 and 1964. This is the only government birth information, called "index data," available to the public.
So far this month, only The Associated Press and one other person had looked at the binder, according to a sign-in sheet viewed Wednesday in the state Department of Health building. The sheet showed about 25 names of people who have seen the document since March 2010, when the sign-in sheet begins.
Those documents complement newspaper birth announcements published soon after Obama's Aug. 4, 1961 birth and a "certification of live birth" released by the Obama campaign three years ago, the only type of birth certificate the state issues.

I stopped reading after your assertion that one line in a book was sufficient as a legal document and proof! It is not.
I assure you that same book in the state of MY birth does not ever substitute for a birth certificate when I have needed to produce one -for example when I had to prove my citizenship to get a passport that one line in that book didn't cut it as legal proof of my citizenship for some weird reason! It also didn't cut it when I tried to get back into this country from places I visited on a visa and needed to prove I was a citizen to get back in. Again for some weird reason they would only take my birth certificate.
A BIRTH CERTIFICATE is a legal document. A line with my name on it in a book at the state capital isn't accepted as a legal document by anyone, anywhere or any place. FOR A REASON! But hey, if that satisfies YOU just remember that when the next person to face questions about where they were really born happens to be a Republican again. Because I'm old enough to remember the furor over whether McCain was even eligible to run for President the very first time he ran. He was actually born on a military base in the Panama Canal Zone! In spite of the fact that all US military bases are considered to be on US owned soil and no different from being born in any of the states a whole lot of Democrats kept insisting they wanted a court to decide whether he was even eligible to be President at all. Oh but that's different -that was a Republican and we all know the rules are different when it involves Republicans where it would be considered an outrage if applied to any Democrat! Even though the issue about whether it counted as US soil had actually been determined long before, Democrats demanded it be revisited by a court hoping one of their activist judges might overturn it and get things screwed up enough to mess up his campaign. They only dropped it once it was apparent he wasn't going to get the nomination. If he had, they would have tried to exploit it for all it was worth. But at least McCain didn't hide his birth certificate!
Sorry but a single line in a non-legal book doesn't serve as legal proof of anything for anyone else in this country for ANY reason or ANY purpose -but its all YOU need. Gee, don't you think there is a reason no one else tried to pretend that book was some kind of "proof" - and
no one bothered looking at that book BECAUSE it isn't a legal document at all? People didn't accept the certificate of live birth which is not a birth certificate either but he was willing to release THAT -just not his real birth certificate? WTF?
This whole thing was a staged event entirely. Obama created the issue himself and he played it out as long as the polls favored him for it. But recently those polls with regards to his birth certificate changed, going against Obama and getting worse. I don't know what he was thinking because finally releasing it only begs the question of why he didn't in the first place! If you were going to end up finally releasing it, then WTF was the problem with doing so right off the bat? Hmm?
Not providing his birth certificate worked for him to divert attention from his lousy, crappy, socialist, un-American policies despised by the majority in this country because the polls showed the public didn't take it seriously and it worked in his favor by projecting those who wanted to see it as crackpots. He ONLY presented it NOW -YEARS after people -including Bill and Hillary Clinton -first demanded to see it -because the polls changed and showed more people had questions about it and more and more people questioned WHY he refused to release it and why OBAMA was making a big deal out of it by refusing to just release it. More and more people did not understand the nonstop refusal to release his birth certificate if it was really no big deal -and believed he refused because it had other information on it he didn't want people focusing on or to think about. Not necessarily about where he was born even but other information he may not want people to see. But NOW after seeing public opinion had changed Obama realized he had milked this issue out entirely, wrung out all the benefit he thought he gained by playing games with it -and saw it had actually turned into a detriment that was affecting his poll numbers which are already abysmal anyway.
When people are already unhappy about their President, they become more willing to believe the worst about him. The majority are already unhappy with Obama and among those the percent now willing to believe he may not even be a US citizen has been growing just as the majority of Americans don't believe he is a Christian. The man who claimed he would be the most transparent President has in fact been anything but which just led to increasing questions about what he was hiding by refusing to release it.
A perfect example of how being unhappy with a President leads people to believe the very worst about him is an issue the leftwing media never made the same kind of deal about as they did trying to discredit those who believed Obama refused to release his birth certificate in order to hide something -those loud leftwing KOOKS and crackpots who believed (and still believe) Bush was this brilliant, genius mastermind of the worst Presidential crime in history of the mass murder of his own citizens and managed to pull it off in less than 9 months, even before his full administration had even been confirmed by Congress - yet one involving what had to be at least dozens of co-conspirators all willing to kill unarmed fellow Americans! This is THE most insane, unfounded totally crackpot theory -but the left already hated the man so much they were willing to believe the absolute worst about him, even that he was an inhumane monster guilty of mass murder within weeks of taking office. These people really are the kooks here with no critical thinking skills at all. The average person would find it nearly impossible to find anyone willing to bump off their spouse and more likely going to find himself involved in a sting trying to hire an undercover cop -but Bush that pure evil GENIUS knew just where to look and EASILY had NO problem finding dozens and dozens of people willing to slaughter thousands of innocent fellow Americans! Dozens and dozens of them -yet not a single one to ever utter even a PEEP about what would be the biggest government run conspiracy in our history. Not even ONE person who regrets the mass murder, not one coming forward saying he was manipulated but now realizes the scope and enormity of the huge evil Bush got him to do. These are people who not only want to believe the worst about Bush but ALL Republicans -its easier to pretend they are ALL so EVIL that finding people willing to slaughter innocent people by thousands is just no problem for them, isn't it? If you can convince yourself that they are all motivated by EVIL, then whatever their political positions are would automatically be evil too, right? And no need whatsoever to even give ANY of them serious consideration and never, EVER give even one of them the benefit of the doubt -while of course insisting even the blatant criminals in the Democrat Party be given standing ovations! e.g. DEMOCRAT Rep. William Jefferson, entering the House of Representatives after being charged with four counts of bribery, three counts of money laundering, three counts of wire fraud and one count of racketeering -was given a ******* STANDING OVATION by House Democrats! (We all know how Democrats would react if Republicans responded to one of their own in that way after being charged with those crimes -they typically cut that person loose -absolutely no one does double standards better than the left which have the lowest possible for their own while demanding standards they don't even pretend to hold themselves for everyone else.)
Joe Smith can't find a hit man to bump off his spouse even with months and months of trying -but NO problem for that evil Machiavellian GENIUS Bush to find dozens and maybe even HUNDREDS of people willing to commit the MASS MURDER of their unarmed fellow citizens and cover it up. Yet this evil genius was just too ******* stupid to plant WMD even though people would have believed it even a couple of years later! WTF! ROFL
What I think is truly the most hilarious part of all this is THESE are often the VERY same people who think the people who want to know why Obama chose to make a big deal out of this and refuse to release his birth certificate for YEARS, something no other candidate has ever refused to do when asked -are actually the real kooks here. Uh huh, sure. ROFLMAO! You want to guess which one I find easier to believe given the fact Obama actually did something to provoke the doubt in the first place?
I have no doubt Obama believed timing the release to now, YEARS later instead of when he was first asked for it would work to embarrass his political enemies the most. He could see Trump was being taken more seriously by some people and thought releasing it NOW would embarrass and damage Donald Trump -but his reaction taking credit for getting Obama to finally do what others had spent years trying to get him to do - was probably the last thing Obama expected!
Let's not forget reality here -THE very first people to demand his birth certificate were other DEMOCRATS! Bill and Hillary Clinton were the first "birthers"!
