4. Hey it was on the internets so I am sticking to my story
According to Barack Obama himself, being interviewed November 4, 2008:

http://www.upi.com/Top_News/2008/11/02/Sen_Barack_Obama_Democrat_of_Illinois/UPI-33901225647000/

He was born at Queen's Medical Center in Honolulu, HI.

Everything on the internets is true!

15. No. Kapiolani is still around

...and recently celebrated an anniversary with, among other things, a congratulatory letter from Mr. Obama.

The Queens error comes from two sources. One, a high school newspaper; and the other is attributed to Maya Ng. Ms. Ng, of course, is Mr. Obama's younger sister, and would have no first hand knowledge of his birthplace.

17. Ummmm... Did you read that article?

It says Kapiolani.

Of course, Kapiolani was also a queen of Hawaii.

9. I don't think so because sometime over the past week I saw a segment on CNN or MSNBC where they were
walking with a person who does a walking tour of Obama sites in Honolulu and that included walking by the hospital where he was born. :hi:

16. Snopes agrees with you
Interesting sidelights: They quote an interview with a teacher in Hawaii who spoke with the obstetrician who attended the president's birth, some time within the following week. He was quite taken by the baby's name. The teacher also remembered when the president's father came to speak at the school, where Barack Jr. was a student (this 10 years later, during his one and only trip back to Hawaii to visit his son).

12. It would be greater irony if
Rush died in the hospital where Obama was born.

(One can hope, can't one?) :shrug:

14. seems kind of ironic
last week all the Teabaggin' critters were praying for someone to drop dead or get sick so as not to vote on the Health Reform Bill.
Perhaps, the Lord, in His infinite wisdom, answered their prayers

19. Loki does have a wicked sense of humor.
One must always be careful of what one wishes for; you never know who's listening.
