Hawaii Bill Would Let Anyone Get Obama Birth Records For $100

A bill introduced in the Hawaii legislature would allow anyone who wants to see President Obama’s birth records to do so for a $100 fee.

The bill would change a privacy law barring the release of birth records unless the requester is someone with a tangible interest, such as a close family member.

The measure was introduced by five Democrats but has not yet been scheduled for a public hearing, a required step before it can move forward. A decision on considering the bill will be made by the House’s Democratic leadership and committee chairmen.

The idea behind the measure is to end skepticism over Obama’s birthplace while raising a little money for a government with a projected budget deficit exceeding $800 million over the next two years.

“If it passes, it will calm the birthers down,” said the bill’s primary sponsor, Rep. Rida Cabanilla. “All these people are still doubting it because they don’t want the birth certificate from Obama. They want it from our state office.”

But will this really calm the birthers down or will they then say the state phonied up documents in order to raise money? I say the latter would be the case.
