@DirtCrashr. The HMO Kaiser Permanente expanded into Hawaii in 1958 at the behest of Henry J. Kaiser, who had moved to Honolulu in 1956.

I knew Kaiser was on the Islands building hotels and a big aluminum dome, didn't know he already has his socialized-lite Healthcare up and running.
You can see his old magnesium mine up on the hill above my downtown, my dad said during wartime they experienced the occasional KA-BOOM up there, learning gby doing.

We got married on Hawaii a couple years back, cheapest $60 I ever spent - you only need one witness. But the long form(s) were filled out "Old School" - in triplicate on an electric typewriter - I'm surprised they didn't have a Mimeograph machine for making copies.
I haven't seen anythign like it since the retired Selectrics and gave us shiny new XT's at the Big Private University.

Also, each time the Hotel Marriage Lady filled-in the Form we proof-read it, and found an error(or two) - and then she had to tear-up the thick forms and start all over.
First a couple mistakes and a do-over, then a different address mistake and something else wrong she had gotten right before - another do-over. And then another boo-boo in another section. After the fourth do-over we were eager to leave and I settled with my mom's name misspelled.
His name could have been Barakaroo Obamzai and they'd misspelled it - and then it would get mis-filed, like under Sotero... I believe the typewriter never fails.

I don't believe this to be real or proves anything nor does it matter. If you do your research you'll find that even if he was born in Africa that he still meets the criteria as stated in the Constitution as a "natural born citizen" because he is BORN a US citizen because of his mother as opposed to a naturalized citizen. John McCain was born in Panama but hardly anyone questioned his eligibility.

American Mutt says:

^Johnny Cash - Anyone born on an active U.S. Military base to someone serving therein is a LEGAL U.S. BORN CITIZEN and eligible to serve as president - as the base is considered AMERICAN SOIL no-matter where it is located. Look up the laws regarding it before running at the lip.

If Obama is a U.S. born citizen then how was he able to go to 'blacklisted' countries in the '80's? U.S. citizens were not allowed. You needed a passport from somewhere else. That would mean that he either wasn't a citizen OR he rejected his citizenship and swore allegiance to another country.

Last - You call anyone who doesn't blindly follow Obama a NAZI and such - the thing is that the NAZI's followed blindly AND like Obama's goals for America (to make SOCIALIST) the NAZI were SOCIALISTS!!!{Nazism, officially National Socialism - (German: Nationalsozialismus). So, Obama's followers are actually liken to NAZI's.

This is interesting, but with no background about who sent it, where it is from, and what these people are talking about, it is meaningless.

Is this supposed to be a memo from a hospital in Hawaii? Who are these doctors mentioned (Staudt, Hodges and Harris)? Where did this come from, and how did it manage to get faxed to you?

If you want to be believed, you need to explain things in a believable manner.

This memo is a lie. Dr. Staudt had retired from that HMO in Hawaii about a year before this birth would have occurred. I know he wielded influence behind the scenes ...

Actually, I don't which is funnier. The original post or the comments taking this seriously.

Anonymous says:

"He wasn't born during my shift"

Hey, skeptics! Anonymous nurses often make note of the fact that future presidential candidates were not born during their shift. This was an especially prevalent practice forty eight years ago- and thus accounts for this individual's remarkable recall. Nurses have claimed such non-events are seared into their memories, despite years and years worth of births attended since.

Right. What's really funny is... John McCain was the only presidential candidate who wasn't born in the United States! He was born in Panama! So why didn't these "birthers" ever harp on that? No- they choose to erroneously denounce the guy that actually was born in the United States. Thus proving that the "issue" itself isn't at all what they care about.

Intelectual says:

I do not believe this is real, and here is why:

1. It is widely know that all memos from this hospital are written on green paper. That is obviously not green paper.

2. There is a splotch above the "M" in memo. This is code.

3. Dr. Harris was on vacation during the time frame this was supposed to be written so he could not have given anyone a message from triage. Dr. Harris was on a cruise in the carribean with my sisters next dorr neighbor. I can make them available for an interview by fax.

It shouldn't be difficult to compare the font used on this memo to the ones available at the time. Until this is done, there is no point in speculative or prejudicial comments. Personally, I consider it unlikely that anyone will come up with a smoking gun, but who knows?

The "natural-born" issue has come up a few times before, and the courts have always taken a very broad interpretation of it. Which makes sense considering that none of the first six Presidents was born in any place that could sensibly be called the "United States". Basically, if you are a "birther" and want to prove your case, you'll have to show conclusively that Obama lied -- good luck with that. I don't like him any more than you do, but I consider it a waste of time and energy to try, at this point, to invalidate the election.

Anyone born to an American parent is a natural-born American citizen. Obama's mother was Stanley Ann Durham, an American citizen. His roots go back far before the American Revolution, and his ancestors spilled their blood to win freedom from England. Get real. He could have been born on the moon and he would still have been an American citizen. This is a complete non-issue -- and before anyone implies that his mother is not his mother, look at his long jawline and chin and at his mom's and maternal grandfather's.

bob z says:

on 7/29/2009 12:54:56 AM

Whether Obama is a real american or not, what is important in him is his ability to lead america and the whole world. The rest of his programs and promises are still in the balance and needs more time and cooperation to have it succeed.

Raising issues about his citizenship this time has little value and inappropriate. Why raise it now when he's already the President?

Rob, this may be of some interest to you and adds support to your recent fax. This was a comment made by an Obama Supporter whom I believe has told the
truth:
"live birth certificate or not =he's a citizen. and his mother DID live here 5 years prior -they weren't in Kenya that long -her citizenship was always United States -just because she was visiting kenya does not mean she didn't live in the united States - They granted the certificate based on that -she can't help where she had the baby -and they don't take U.S. citizenship away from the baby because mom was somewhere else when she had him -it was done within the given period of time you have to file for the birth certificate in those cases where the mom happens to give birth outside her own country -it's based on mom -not dad -mom gives birth - "

This was a comment made by an Obama Supporter whom I believe has told the
truth of the circumstances of his birth.
While I dont't agree with her theory of
constitutional eligiblity, (natural born requires both parents to be US citizens birth on US soil and territories) I think her statement gives insight as to what really happened and in conjuction with your fax, the truth is rearing it's head.

Have you been in contact with Dum Blather to ask for his assistance in tracking down the source and verifying this blockbuster, history-altering fax?

Oh, and before I forget, here's a memo to James, Johnny & lolozer, et al: We Reichwingers only hate Odumbo's black half--- His white half is copacetic with us. Just sayin'...

They may be too stupid to recognize satire, and too humorless to appreciate it...

But they're still somehow able to pull the lever on a voting machine - 52% of the time.

Suddenly, the f**k-wits aren't so entertaining... *sigh*

Andi, I agree, in fact I think we should release the birth certificates of everyone living just to prove they are who they say they are. Better yet, let's scrap the whole birth certificate and tatoo it to our foreheads with flourescent ink...no that will make all the 666ers start talking about the end of the world.

Korla Pundit says:

on 7/30/2009 1:15:48 PM

Well, the authenticity of this fax at least matches that of the TANG memo, which the media held up for months as real. And when they finally had to admit that Times New Roman didn't exist in 1971, nor typewriters with superscript and variable spacing, plus kerning and line spacing that exactly matched the default settings for a new Microsoft Word document, they STILL said it was "fake but accurate."

Why won't this great new discovery get the same consideration from CBS News?

Obviously, because it didn't involve Lucy Ramirez.

Remember the whole Joe the Plumber debacle? In that case a private citizen had his private life investigated and exposed for daring to assert that then presidential candidate Barack Obama might have some economic policies that weren't in the best of tradition of the free enterprise system that had has made America still the envy of the rest of the world by a government employee. I, and most others, spoke out against that so to stay consistent I must say that these guys shouldn't have done this either without some sort of justification, however I do find it odd that they get suspended right away after an inquiry from the Secret Service.

The United States Secret Service notified county officials that DeKalb County computer equipment was utilized to do a query on the President.

Such behavior, said William “Miz” Miller, DeKalb Public Safety director, is not to be tolerated.

The message should be clear. If you are going to do this sort of thing you need to be prepared for Big Brother to come a knocking. It no longer seems to matter whether you do this from home or work, a well placed phone call will find you on the wrong side of the powers that be.

I am not defending the officers, although I will bet at the time the officers were more curious then they had any sort of malevolent intent. What is even more ironic is that Dekalb county, a suburb of Atlanta voted overwhelmingly for Obama.

Be careful out there boys and girls, and don't use government equipment to do research.

http://lamecherry.blogspot.com/

its as far out as it gets but its a good birth certificate read.

Blood is a most interesting of things when looking into any criminal situation. It was the first measure in "elementary my dear Watson" in linking blood type to criminals at the scenes of the crime.........and unless one has an OJ jury in Los Angeles, even DNA will convict him........although, this blog agrees with one investigator that it was OJ's son who did the deed and he covered it up.

What is interesting is the BBC had online a strange story about Obama coming to see the Queen awhile back, that went into great detail about Obama apparently carries a tanker load of AB blood with him as that is his type.
Why the Brits were so taken with that bit of information to go into such detail is something lost on this side of the world, as I was more interested in how many poor people who needed AB type blood were dying because Obama is carrying it around like he is trying to lure in vampires.

Blood is important in Barack Obama's birth saga, as most people do not know that each of us inherits their blood type from either their mom or dad.........unless one is patrician Peggy Noonan, then you only have a mother and father to keep your distance from.
In that Barack Obama's blood type is rare enough in the blood groups in being AB. This means that either is mum or pop had type AB.
This means if someone would bother to request Barack Obama sr., Frank Marshall Davis, Madelyn Dunham to Stanley Ann Dunham, a list of who Obama's real sperm and egg donors really are.

Not that it makes much difference in if Frank Davis fathered the Obama, Birdie is still a dual citizen in being adopted by Lolo Soetoro, who Obama flushed like a bad case of the diarhea.

In like manner if it was Barack sr., Obama is still disqualified from the White House as he is a British subject no matter where he was born.

I find in this that it would be the most amusing of things if Obama in medical information that his people just let out to the British would reveal the blood type which would sink his ship.
Imagine if Stanley Armour had type O and Stanley Ann had type O from her dad. Next what if Barack sr. had type A, and Madelyn had type AB.

The winner then in that blood lottery would be Madelyn Lee Dunham as Barack Obama's real egg donor mother.
Granted the odds of something that easy showing up are on average at best 50%, the reality is that information if obtainable would certainly at least set Peyton Place Obama in revelation as to just who his parents are as Stanley Ann in a bikini in 1961 doesn't look all that motherly, and no one but this blog has at least laid out a logical story as to how a woman who didn't want kids, wasn't looking prego, ended up with a black baby.

No one for certain has stated if the naked woman who is making the internet as Stanley Ann Dunham is the woman or not, but this gal no more has delivered a bouncing baby Obama than the bikini beach version.
So as Obama hordes the supply of blood like he does cherry pie, or reggie pie in this profane Age of Obama, let us expand the reservior of knowledge and take a peek at the family Obama, Davis and Dunham just to have a looksee if the world can figure out who actually birthed this guy and in that starting point, then we can see the other relevant facts like dual citizenship, birth place, travel records and whatever else this fraud is hiding, because in knowing that Obama has spent a million dollars on this in lawyer fees........this entire family fraud has more stories they do not want out.

For instance, what was Birdie and Muchelle doing on his first book writing tour in the far east and who paid for their southsea retreat as the kid was just married, just out of college and had a mountain of debt to repay supposedly.

Let the good times roll

Wrong. If a person is born of two American Citizens anywhere in the world, they are natural-born citizens (that is, citizens at birth) and eligible to serve as President. Where did you get that crazy idea? Article II says nothing about having to have been physically born in the US, just "natural born". http://caselaw.lp.findlaw.com/data/constitution/article02/

Here's the law:

McCain was born in an American military base, which is automatically U.S. territory just as embassies are.

Dislike him for his arrogance and his pathological lust after publicity and public approval; hate him for his desire to place the good of foreign criminals above the good of his nation and its citizens; hold him in contempt for his inability to beat a nowhere candidate with a dirty past... but enough about his citizenship.

The 'no travel list' that supposedly required foreign passports for entry to listed countries. Big ol' BOOSHEET! The list was to inform travelers of countries that might be dangerous for Americans to travel in. There were no restrictions on travel. America didn't stop anybody from traveling to countries on the list and the countries weren't turning away people with American passports. IDIOTS!
