What Fukino said was that she had "personally seen and verified that the Hawaii State Department of Health has Sen. Obama's original birth certificate on record in accordance with state policies and procedures."
The key phrase was the qualification "in accordance with state policies and procedures."
Fukino did not explicitly say she had seen Obama's original birth certificate or his long-form hospital-generated birth certificate.

Hawaii's Hawaii State Registrar, Dr. Alvin T. Onaka, was asked if Janice Okubo, public information officer for the Hawaii Department of Health, had confirmed that his office produced a 2007 COLB, date-stamped June 6, 2007, with Obama's birth information on it. His response was, "Absolutely not. No one in our office confirmed it."
WND has reported that the Hawaii Department of Health in 1961 would issue a Certification of Live Birth on the basis of family testimony, without any additional proof the child was actually born in Hawaii.
WND has also reported that the Hawaii Department of Health has refused to substantiate the claim made by FactCheck.org and other Obama supporters that the short-form COLB is an authentic document issued by the Hawaii DOH.
The FactCheck.org article, updated Nov. 1, 2008, included a mention of Fukino's carefully worded statement issued Oct. 31, 2008, claiming the statement "confirmed … Obama was born in Honolulu," even though Fukino made no such direct claim.
The Annenberg Public Policy Center that finances FactCheck.org also financed Barack Obama who served as the Chairman of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge in 1995. At that time the CAC made a $482,662 grant to a workshop project headed by Mike Klonsky, a former top communist activist who is an associate of former Weather Underground terrorist leader William Ayers, as documented by WND reporter Aaron Klein.
