In August, 1961, two announcements allegedly showing a “native” birth for Barack Obama were published in Hawaii’s two primary newspapers, the Sunday Advertiser and the Honolulu Star. For more than three years since Obama engaged his unvetted candidacy for the presidency, many of his supporters have mistakenly lauded these blurbish announcements as the “holy grail” of proof that he was born in the state of Hawaii.
However, a detailed investigation of the history and procedures used by Hawaii’s municipal health department, and its relationship with the newspapers, shows that not only was it a matter of official policy that Obama’s birth would have been announced in the paper regardless of where he was born, the information used to publish the announcements is not even confirmed through any eye-witness, medical authority or hospital representative in the state.
In 1961, the two newspapers shared the same address and facility for their publishing operations which means they received only one copy of the same vital records information from the Department of Health. Therefore, the format and content of information used in “vital event” public announcements, including births, deaths, divorces and marriage applications, were published identically by both papers, including any mistakes, omissions, order or context. No investigation was carried out by the papers’ editors to determine if the information provided by the DOH was actually accurate or, in the case of birth announcements, if the address published and provided by the registrant had any association with the geographic location of the actual birth. More than 1200 birth announcements between 1960 and 1965 were shown to contain Hawaiian addresses for registrants of births outside of the state of Hawaii, including more than three hundred in which the child was born outside of the United States.
The two newspapers have long since collaborated into one organization.
Now, however, data from the archive of the U.S. Department of Health’s 1961 Report on Vital Statistics of the U.S – Volume 1: Natality, and Hawaii’s Administrative rules governing the creation of vital records finally reveals the truth about how these announcements were published and why they are mistakenly used by uneducated pundits to promote a misguided message about Obama’s natal history.

Just what all the nut jobs have been telling ellen/Ellen/Ellana/Ellena/Ellene/ellana/granite/Granite
all along.
Yohoo, Oh Ellen, over here!
QQ
Hey Gary we are now Flakes to, sometimes I eat Corn Flakes but I still do not fully except all the FACTS Ellen writes. Note I said ALL, some yes are fact some is speculation. but I'm just going to flake out and go feed the Unicorns.
"we are now Flakes"
If you say so. I didn't. Don't get gored.
Yes I wander and get tired of the whole discussion of birth place sometimes. When I watch the people leading this country and the mess both parties are leaving to future generations. I guess I do flake out sometimes. But we have warmer weather and my gardens need spring cleaning. This will be a no news or invented news weekend for me. Just the Weather channel and digging in the dirt.
We have in this man, Barry Soetoro, AKA Barack Obama, a very dangerous character bent upon dissolution of the American republic as we have known it. Why on earth his qualifications to sit the Office of President have not been seriously addressed escapes me. What influence has been purchased, by whom and for what ultimate objective that keeps this man in office?
"A detailed investigation" by an even flakier birther blog than this one? Yeah, sure.
But Gary, feel free to jump on board.
Yes James because we must just except the proof you and Ellen state to be FACTS makes us all a bunch of flakes. OK. James this is one of the areas that Ellen uses to support the Facts and was one of the areas that I call speculation. She has no Idea how those announcement got in these two papers. And he explanation of they could only be put there by the hospitals are not Fact. She James I don't buy the Barry story or the except the left "Mostly" tagging people that don't find he citizenship believable a solid evidence that everything uses in her copy paste is fact.. Call us want you want and hope the evident in the supports the speculation gathered by both sides is resolved, there is just to much information on this one subject not to be curious about it. Simple by your interest in and because you and Ellen sure spend a lot of time. I suspect this is some kind of "project" for your class or another book. Good luck with that I hope your students get good grades even if they don't agree with you or you make lots of money for a book that documents the Flaky, crazy, wacko birthers that both you and Ellen have contributed a lot of time for. Nobody does something with the involvement you two have in this for no purpose. Then when she says that she is only here to discuss the Birth Certificate is loony cause this site is not just a Birth Certificate site and many other subjects are discussed. Which Blog do you speck of as being Flakier than this one? Cause this story is on all of them.
"Nobody does something with the involvement you two have in this for no purpose"
So what's yours?
"Which Blog do you speck of as being Flakier than this one?"
The Daily Pen, obviously.
"Cause this story is on all of them."
And nowhere else, other than birther blogs, that I've seen. Though the Donald may change that.
It is just the blanket statement of all that are here are flakes, wackaa doodles. I try to just provide a honest debate. If not excepting ALL of Ellen points would be dishonest. Especially when I try to point out the parts that are just not provable points do to the speculation attracted to a fact.
Here is a list of Items that are some of the issues.
She uses reference in books, new paper articles, News reporting form Television and of references that just are not confirmed to be factual. So this is like collaboration with the other party on the floor of Congress, Neither side admits their error in proof. Law Books are not the Law they are a synopsis of what the author presumed the ruling intent was in the supreme court. I have not read any Supreme Court Ruling say that Barry is a Natural Born Citizen because he was born in Hawaii to a American Citizen and a British subject at the time also the only other acceptable would be a Amendment to the Constitution. And 14 is not it. That was for Indians and has been interpreted by some to protect Anchor babies. I don't read that in that either. So When I started noticing all the sites with information some good, some bogus I became interested in the subject and can't believe that there is so much interest which Ellen states is 100% proven. If that were true we would be discussing something else but this subject draws be back in the more I read about it. Something is wrong with the Original or it would of been released. Again I am speculating and admitting it, I just see to much that does not make sense and to much interest in this and polls that show 51 percent of the right don't believe and even 11 percent on the left don't believe. As for the Daily Pen I have never been there but will scope it and give you a flake factor comparison to this site. I found this site a while back after going to the American Thinker site. The name there drew me in. What can I say I ended up here.
The Daily Pen, just about equal to here. Lot of same stuff. and out burst that are nonsensical. SO it is a tie.
"It is just the blanket statement of all that are here are flakes, wackaa doodles"
I didn't say that, either. Many are, some aren't.
Some of her facts are kinda like some fortune teller stuff.
"I see a warm tropical place in your past. I see a white woman and a dark colored man
I see a possibility that we would have to computer generate a piece of paper for you
in the future when the technology is available"
Then the future.
"I see large crowds worshipping him. I see a new war. I see the Promised Messiah
and he shall be called Barry."
