Contrary to the claims of critics of citizens who demand Barack Obama produce evidence of his presidential eligibility, newspaper birth announcements in Hawaiian newspapers in 1961 did not necessarily indicate a baby was born in the state.
As WND reported, Glenn Beck ridiculed the so-called birther movement on his nationally syndicated radio show Monday, pointing to identical birth announcements published in the Honolulu Advertiser and the Honolulu Star-Bulletin as evidence Obama was born in Hawaii and, therefore, is a natural-born citizen as required by the Constitution.
Beck, and two colleagues, mocked "birthers" for purportedly believing a wild conspiracy in which Obama's parents, knowing he would someday be president, "preemptively" collaborated with two separate newspapers to publish phony announcements stating he was born in Hawaii.
But the birth announcements offer no proof of citizenship, because they might reflect nothing more than information a family filed with the Hawaii Department of Health to obtain a state Certification of Live Birth for a baby born outside Hawaii. Any parent presumably would see the benefit of securing American citizenship for their child.
Further, the information in the two newspapers would be identical not only because the papers drew from the same source but because they had an agreement to share classified advertising.

ReplyDeleteAt the time of Obama's birth it was not possible to obtain a Hawaii birth certificate of any kind that said on it "born in Hawaii" if the child was not born in Hawaii. Obama's birth certificate, the facts on which have been twice confirmed by the officials in Hawaii, clearly shows that he was born in Honolulu.
The notices in the newspapers thus simply confirm the original documents that show that he was born in Hawaii, and there is further confirmation from this witness, who recalls being told of his birth in Hawaii in 1961 (http://www.buffalonews.com/494/story/554495.html.)
There is not a shred of evidence that Obama was born anywhere else than Hawaii. His Kenyan step-grandmother did not say that he was born in Kenya. She said that he was born in Hawaii.
The newspaper birth announcements were sent out by the government of Hawaii for births in Hawaii,and not for births outside of Hawaii. They confirm the original birth certificate, still held in the files, which the officials in Hawaii have said repeatedly shows that Obama was born in Hawaii.
