Hot on the heels of Trump's entrance into the birther arena of stupidity, Dr. Chiyome Fukino has talked to reporters to 'clarify' some of the issue: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/42519951/ns/politics-more_politics/

Here are a few things that clear up some of the brithers' points of contention:
-A long form does exist (its current location and what it looks like is described by Dr. Fukino)
-Vital Records, by law, cannot be released, neither originals nor photo copies of the original documents, not even to the individual the records are about. The individual may request to see the original document in person.
-Anyone requesting a birth certificate is given the same short form Obama released in 2007.
-Obama's birth is recorded in other vital records held by the state.
-Dr. Fukino was appointed to her position by Republican Governor Linda Lingle.
-Governor Lingle was a supporter of McCain's campaign and (not mentioned in the article) apparently get's along with Sarah Palin very well.

So sorry birthers, you're going to have to traverse further down CandyLand lane if you want to keep chasing this racism fueled delusion that Obama wasn't born in the United States.
