I had direct access to the Social Security database, the national crime computer, state driver's license information, international passport information, basically just about anything you can imagine to get someone's identity," Adams explained. "I could look up what bank your home mortgage was in. I was informed by my boss that we did not have a birth record [for Obama]."
At the time, there were conflicting reports that Obama had been born at the Queen's Medical Center in Honolulu, as well as the Kapi'olani Medical Center for Women and Children, also located in the capital city. So Adams says his office checked with both facilities.
"They told us, 'We don't have a birth certificate for him,'" he said. "They told my supervisor, either by phone or by e-mail, neither one has a document that a doctor signed off on saying they were present at this man's birth."
To date, no Hawaiian hospital has provided documented confirmation Obama was born at its facility.
Adams, 45, stressed, "In my professional opinion, he definitely was not born in Hawaii. I can say without a shadow of a doubt that he was not born in Hawaii because there is no legal record of him being born there. If someone called and asked about it, I could not tell them that person was born in the state."
"Yes," said Adams, reiterating his personal opinion that Obama is eligible to hold office and that the question would have been answered when the Democratic National Committee vetted him to run for public office prior to the 2008 election.

So he was a Clinton supporter who voted for McCain.
He worked in an election office so he apparently actually cared about politics.
He is a professor so he is likely not a moron.
He still waited for Obama to get elected and be president for well over a year before bothering to mention this to anyone?
Yeah, that makes sense.

Of course, the hospital doesn't have birth certificates. Hospitals don't keep birth certificates! State Health Departments do.

Hospitals do keep medical records though.
Why did it take a public statement by a governor to decry Obama's birth hospital when his own campaign website contradicted the current "official birth hospital"? Obama doesn't know which hospital he was born in because of all of the lies told by his mother and her parents.
Did you ever do any more digging on Stanley Ann Dunham and her parents?
You know as well as I that there is much more to be learned about Obama's history than we are expected to believe.
There are oddities, contradictions and inconsistencies throughout his whole story.
Two memoirs published before the unaccomplished man turned 46 and became POTUS. Interesting.

If she (Republican governor of Hawaii) could have proven he wasn't born there she'd have been set for life. Rich beyond imagination high ranking cabinet posts high end RNC posts. But she told the truth.
Not everything is a conspiracy.

No one has yet to debunk Michelle Obama's very public 2008 statement that Ann Dunham was "very young and very single" when she had Obama.
Contradiction, oddity, inconsistency! It does not add up and I will not accept a simple explanation of just another example of misspeak by someone very close to Obama.
I checked with Glen Takahashi, the administrator of the Honolulu City Clerk's office, and while he verified that Adams worked there, he explained – gently making it clear he did not want to "call anyone a liar" -- that Adams never actually had access to information about Barack Obama.
"Our office does not have access to birth records," Takahashi said. "That's handled by the state of Hawaii Department of Health. Where he's getting that, I don't know. Put it this way: Barack Obama was not trying to register to vote in Hawaii. He is, as far as I know, not a registered voter here. So no one was looking that up."
Takahashi explained that the "senior elections clerk" job that Adams held was a low-level data entry position dealing with voter registration and absentee ballots -- Adams was one of dozens of temporary employees who staffed the pre-election rush. And he contradicted Adams's claims that Obama's lack of a birth certificate was an "open secret" or that voters contacted the office to ask about it.
"To be honest, I fielded no questions about that," Takahashi said. "Why would anyone ask us? We don't have those records."

I know where I was born and I'm sure you know your birth hospital.
No marriage records, no witnesses to a marriage etc etc. Conflicting University Records of registration.... vs. the "official" timeline blah blah blah.

Inconsistencies at every corner and at every turn a dead end.
And what difference would it make if Stanley WAS single when she had Obama Jr.?
Let's say Barack Obama Sr wasn't his dad. So what? That doesn't change who he is or the fact that he was legally elected as our president.

It would mean that he has been spinning lies like a spider web.
BTW. Christopher Alexander is a well regarded writer and biographer who conducted extensive research and interviews to write his book. Whereas, Obama just used ghost writers and fabrications to fill the covers of his books.

I am not cheering him on. But I have been and remain concerned with how often the TPTB seem to cloak information to the people regarding our pols. I distrust secrecy and clandestine activities and immediately begin to suspect the worst when I see coversion. I instinctively view guvmint secrecy as disrespect for the electorate and abuse of power.
Fair enough. But ask yourself this question. Is there anything that could be posted at any time that would change your mind on this issue? If not, then are you not being narrow-minded on this issue because you like and/or admire Obama?
I have read so many outrageous posts on Bush and Reagan here at ATS that is just as off-the-wall as anything ever said about O.
However, I do read many of them (not all---I have another life) because I want to know if there is something there. Something that makes me step out of my paradigm-restricted views. Many of the 9/11 conspiracies have recently given me pause to think and ponder. Am I convinced? No. But I do not want to close my mind to anything. I love the information and thoughtful discourse even if I do not like the issue. You usually provide that and since that original post you have done this.
I am sure that most people in Benjamin Franklin's time would have thought him a bit daffy for attaching a metal key to a string and flying it in an electrical storm.
My point, after I disgreed with his conclusions, was that we should not close our minds to the prospect of deceit anywhere it might be found. That is how TPTB aim to control our thoughts.

Adams is NOT questioning eligibility! He is questioning the story that we are expected to believe based on his personal knowledge of what little facts there are to study. Just like many on ATS. There is an underlying fraud somewhere within this whole story about Obama's early life. It all has to do with his mother and her illegitimate pregnancy and contrived marriage to Barack Sr.

A Kenyan BC surfaces and people believe it. It is proven fake and people say "but now I have questions." All official channels by which a man's citizenship can be proven have been taken. 4 or 5 fake Kenyan BCs later and people still think there are questions. So now, we need to see his private college records. Why? Because there is a question. What is it based on? Lies but hey, who cares, it is still a question. So now colleges are in on it. Not one person with access to those records is willing to talk, not even to a friend. More questions based on nothing. It perplexes me, it really does.

Here's THIS WEEKS birther thread! Gee, WND as a source by any chance?
Tally ho to this weeks episode of "Beating a Dead Horse!
Now, the 'wingers accuse me of being a Obama schill, or if we are really into drama, a Government agent! Then a series of swarmy exchanges between birthers and rational people, goes on for a couple pages, then obscurity. Birthers are....boring.
Repeat weekly.
