The Idaho Mountain Express reports Wednesday that a Blaine County woman says her father was the physician who delivered Barack Obama in Honolulu on Aug. 4, 1961. Kathy Sinclair-McClatchy of Gannett and her mother, Ivalee Sinclair of Hawaii, spoke with the paper. The family provided a will signed by Dr. David Sinclair in 1966 that appears to match the physician's signature on the “long-form” birth certificate released by the White House last month. The Mountain Express story includes copies of both documents. “That should end the issue,” Ivalee Sinclair told the newspaper/Idaho Politics. More here. (AP file photo, of David Sinclair)
Question: Do you know the name of the doctor who delivered you?
In this April 20, 2011 photo, microfilm reveals the Aug. 14, 1961, birth announcement in the Honolulu Star Bulletin that a son was born to Mr. and Mrs. Barack H. Obama on Aug. 4, 1961, at the Hawaii State Library in Honolulu. Lost in the renewed scrutiny into President 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. (AP Photo/Marco Garcia) (AP Photo/Marco Garcia)
