Despite national press reports to the contrary, the Hawaii state legislature has no intention of releasing Barack Obama's long-form, hospital-generated birth certificate – not even for $100.
By introducing HB1116 into the Hawaii legislature last week, five Democrats are giving the impression they are willing to make Obama's long-form, hospital-generated birth certificate available to the public for a fee.
Instead, the plan is for the state of Hawaii to create a completely new document that will be carefully designed to carry the seal of the state of Hawaii without ever having to certify details of parentage and birthplace.
Hawaii's Revised Statute HRS338 restricts making public birth certificates and other vital records available only to those who have a "direct and tangible interest"-- namely the person applying for the certified birth certificate copy, a member of the immediate family, or others with a legal interest such as an adoptive parent or a legal guardian.
Now, the language of HB1116 attempts to skirt these restrictions by modifying Hawaii law such that for a fee of $100, the Hawaii Department of Health will release "a copy of a birth record" for those HB1116 defines as "persons of prominence."
In a separate development, it is now confirmed Dr. Neal Palafox did not withdraw his nomination as the new director of Hawaii's Department of Health, as was initially reported from Hawaii.

Instead, the governor's staff has now revealed that Gov. Neil Abercrombie asked Palafox to withdraw.
"While the governor's staff would not discuss the reasons or circumstances surrounding the sudden departure, Donalyn Dela Cruz, the governor's spokeswoman, confirmed last night that it was the governor and not Palafox who asked for the withdrawal," Derrick DePledge reported in the Honolulu Star Advertiser Friday.
Also cast in doubt as a possible "cover story" was the initial allegation Palafox had withdrawn his nomination because he was involved in a fraud investigation.
"He did not volunteer it on his own,” Brook Hart, Palafox's attorney, told the Star Advertiser. "He had no idea why the governor asked him to resign. But he did because the governor asked him to do so."
Hart also told the newspaper that Palafox has no information about any fraud investigation.

Is this because the question of Obama's legigitimacy of being a "naturalized citizen" must be verified under the 20th Amendment for him to be illegible for the office of President. It was not done in the last Presidential election with a Democratic House & Senate. Are they running scared with a split Congress and changing the rules of verification in Hawaii? The tactics that were attempted by Obama & the Democrats against McCain were a common practice by Obama in his entire political career against his opponents to keep them from digging into his mysterious past and life. Let the honest truth be known and eliminate the secrecy. This is just another example of Obama's transparency. Transparency for everyone else but Obama.
Just produce the proof!
