Lost in the renewed scrutiny into President Barack Obama's birth records is the fact that anyone can walk into a Hawaii vital records office, wait in line behind couples getting marriage licenses and open a baby-blue government binder containing basic information about his birth.
Highlighted in yellow on page 1,218 of the thick binder is the computer-generated listing for a boy named Barack Hussein Obama II born in Hawaii, surrounded by the alphabetized last names of all other children born in-state between 1960 and 1964. This is the only government birth information, called "index data," available to the public.
So far this month, only The Associated Press and one other person had looked at the binder, according to a sign-in sheet viewed Wednesday in the state Department of Health building. The sheet showed about 25 names of people who have seen the document since March 2010, when the sign-in sheet begins.
Those documents complement newspaper birth announcements published soon after Obama's Aug. 4, 1961 birth and a "certification of live birth" released by the Obama campaign three years ago, the only type of birth certificate the state issues.
So-called "birthers" claim there's no proof Obama was born in the United States, and he is therefore ineligible to be president. Many of the skeptics suggest he was actually born in Kenya, his father's home country, or Indonesia where he spent a few years of his childhood.
Possible Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has repeatedly stoked the birther fires recently, and last month called on Obama to "show his birth certificate." Trump said he has investigators in Hawaii searching for more information.
"Nobody has come in and said they're investigating for Donald Trump," said Department of Health spokeswoman Janice Okubo, who acknowledged they could've come in without identifying themselves as representing Trump.

And think, ALL obama has to do to shut down this firestorm of doubt is somthing any of us could do in 24 hours or less ---- show us his birth certificate. Thats all. but he refuses.....he would much rather endure the criticism.....why????
10:45 - He has. It was posted on his campaign website, he's released it to media, and the former REPUBLICAN governor of HI has said that's the official state form. What magic piece of paper that no one else born in HI gets do you want him to produce?
Because he wasn't born here. He was born in Kenya as stated by his grandmother and countless others from his village.
i don.t think he is American. but if he is , why is he trying so hard to do away with the American ways,
not been a fan of trump, but all i got to say now is GO TRUMP!!!
If you believe all this birther crap, I'd like to tell you about my abduction by aliens.
Certificate of Live Birth is NOT a birth certificate! If it's there, show it!
The LONG-FORM birth certificate (that babies in EVERY state get), 11:47.
The Gov. of Hawaii said he was going to go find it, then suddenly backtracked and went silent.
Liberals have tried and tried to discredit this issue, but they can't and won't, because the facts aren't on their side.
It is NOT going to go away.
Obama must PROVE his eligibility.
I guess being abducted by aliens would explain why liberals are so clueless. They must have removed their human brains and replaced them with sheep brains. Which would explain them following the leaders without thinking for themselves.
