Once Again, Hawaii’s Governor Verifies That, Yes, Barack Obama Was Born In Hawaii

In a radio interview on Sunday, Hawaii’s Governor Linda Lingle once again verified that Barack Obama was in fact born in Hawaii:

You know, during the campaign of 2008, I was actually in the mainland campaigning for Sen. McCain. This issue kept coming up so much in the campaign, and again I think it’s one of those issues that is simply a distraction from the more critical issues that are facing the country. And so I had my health director, who is a physician by background, go personally view the birth certificate in the birth records of the Department of Health, and we issued a news release at that time saying that the president was, in fact, born at Kapi’olani Hospital in Honolulu, Hawaii. And that’s just a fact. And yet people continue to call up and e-mail and want to make it an issue. And I think it’s, again, a horrible distraction for the country by those people who continue this. … It’s been established. He was born here.

Like that’s going to satisfy the birthers.

    The news releases never mentioned the Hospital.
    Linda Lingle rewrites history on Obama certificate issue; breaks the law?

    1. Neither of those statements gave the birth hospital, and only the second statement said he was born there. The first statement only said they had a valid certificate on file. That directly contradicts Lingle’s claims. Go take a look at both those statements and compare them to what she says.

    I guess she missed this story
