Obama Citizenship

Elections Official?s Story on Lack of Birth Certificate Official, Unchanged

By Phil

The Right Side of Life had an exclusive (6/11/2010) with former Hawaiian senior elections clerk Tim Adams in which he stated (to WorldNetDaily) that “[t]here is no birth certificate… It?s like an open secret. There isn?t one. Everyone in the government there knows this.”

WND interpreted this to mean — and to which I took them to task — that Mr. Obama wasn’t eligible for the presidency. However, Mr. Adams reiterated directly to me that “I believe Pres. Obama was born a United States citizen, and is eligible to hold office, I find the idea that because he was probably born outside of the U.S., he must be some kind of alien to be basically racist.”

At the time, ObamaConpiracy.org also made an attempt to verify Mr. Adam’s story with the Honolulu City Clerk’s office and received this response:

Our records indicate that Mr. Adams was employed in a clerical position as an Elections Clerk. Our office does not have access to birth records. Birth records are handled by the State of Hawaii, Department of Health.

Then, on June 13 of last year, Mr. Adams once again stated that he’d be willing to go on the record with his testimony of what he heard and saw in Hawaii. This led your humble blogger, moi, to make the following analysis:

A reminder: Mr. Adams has never claimed to have first-hand knowledge, to date, of Mr. Obama?s vital records; this is why specific questions being answered by Mr. Adams is so important …

Of course, just because someone goes on record (say, via an affidavit) with certain claims doesn?t mean much unless whatever question is at hand (in this case, the lack of birth records) has its day in Court. Nevertheless, the fact that someone who was directly associated with HI elections is a major step forward in this saga ? certainly nobody else has come forward to disagree with the Department of Health?s official statement.

I also posited the following:

All of this brings up an excellent question. Since we already have the DoH Director on record with her view that Mr. Obama is a natural born citizen (noting, of course, that she is only an authority over public health records), what if we get Mr. Adams? statements on record ? informally via email and/or formally via affidavit ? that he says that Mr. Obama does not have a birth certificate and such a statement can be substantiated?

I?m sure we?ll soon see.

This was subsequently followed up by a television interview around July 6, 2010, wherein Mr. Adams continued to maintain his story:

…which was then later followed up by some walk-back.

Then, it happened — Mr. Adams officially went on the record on January 20, 2011. He actually goes even further than what he already claimed, by saying in paragraph six of the affidavit that no hospital in Honolulu had any record of Mr. Obama’s birth. However, the bigger story is in paragraph seven, wherein he contradicts the Department of Health’s own representation that they claim they have a birth certificate on record for Mr. Obama:

Affidavit Part 1

Affidavit Part 2

There is also more anecdotal evidence that a friend of Mr. Abercrombie claims he was told by the Governor that there was no birth certificate for Mr. Obama; here’s the audio (begins at 1:28):

We now have two individuals who have had some connection with various records at Hawaii who’ve made official claims that appear to contradict each other. This means we’re back to square one. The lack of evidence is just that — a lack of evidence, and no more questions have been answered than were posed at least as far back as 2008 as to the constitutional eligibility of Mr. Obama.

But at least now certain individuals are willing to go on the record (and face potential scrutiny) as to what they claim is true.

Wouldn’t it be awesome if Mr. Obama would simply release his birth certificate — assuming there is one?
