Was it in Kenya? Was it in Canada? Was it at home in Hawaii, attested to by one parent?
No. It seems President Obama was born exactly where we always thought he was, at the Kapi’olani Medical Center in Honolulu.
The letter was read aloud at the Health Center’s 100th anniversary gala [link, see Page 6] , attended by such dignitaries as Republican Governor Lingle. Not only do we have President Obama’s own letter stating the place of his birth, but the confirmation of the hospital through their publication and celebration of the fact. See the celebration, Governor Lingle’s proclamation and the reading of the letter from President Obama by Hawaii Congressman Neil Abercrombie. [Update: the celebration video is no longer online as far as I can tell.]
[The persistent Internet rumor that Barack Obama's half sister Maya claimed that he was born at Queens Hospital, is not true.]
