[quote="BetsyRoss"]Nowdays, hospital and medical records are private. Of course 'researchers' cannot dig up the records of a living person. Nor can medical personnel come forward. Nor can the Health Department say any more than it has.
The allegation that the state of Hawaii sealed Obama's birth records is untrue. They are not treating his records any differently than they would anyone else's in these times.
The certificate that Obama's team posted clearly says that the location of his birth was Honolulu, Hawaii. It is not a certificate of being born somewhere else. Coupled with the discovery of his birth announcement in the local paper, in a regular column published by the Health Department, I cannot see how a Hawaiian birth location can be falsified at this point.[/quote]

In and of itself BR, the announcement published by the Health Dept. means absolutely nothing toward proving that he was born in HI.
All it means is that there was a birth, registered in the state of HI, of a child to these two people who allegedly resided at that address.
This was pretty standard Health Dept reporting of births back then. In later years they did stop printing the parents' address and the format changed to giving the parents' names, the town or city they claimed as their residence, and the sex of the baby.
