DIRECTOR OF COMMUNICATIONS DAN PFEIFFER,

AND WHITE HOUSE COUNSEL BOB BAUER

 

James S. Brady Press Briefing Room

 

 

8:48 A.M. EDT

 

 

     MR. CARNEY:  Good morning, everybody.  You can read the paperwork we just handed out in a minute.  Let me just get started.  Thank you for coming this morning.  I have with me today Dan Pfeiffer, the President’s Director of Communications, as well as Bob Bauer, the President’s White House Counsel, who will have a few things to say about the documents we handed to you today.  And then we'll take your questions.  I remind you this is off camera and only pen and pad, not for audio.  And I give you Dan Pfeiffer. 

 

     MR. PFEIFFER:  Thanks, Jay.  What you have in front of you now is a packet of papers that includes the President’s long-form birth certificate from the state of Hawaii, the original birth certificate that the President requested and we posted online in 2008, and then the correspondence between the President’s counsel and the Hawaii State Department of Health that led to the release of those documents.

 

     If you would just give me a minute to -- indulge me a second to walk through a little of the history here, since all of you weren't around in 2008 when we originally released the President’s birth certificate, I will do that.  And then Bob Bauer will walk through the timeline of how we acquired these documents.

 

     In 2008, in response to media inquiries, the President’s campaign requested his birth certificate from the state of Hawaii.  We received that document; we posted it on the website. That document was then inspected by independent fact checkers, who came to the campaign headquarters and inspected the document -- independent fact checkers did, and declared that it was proof positive that the President was born in Hawaii.

Instead of a state's DMV mailing a paper title to a credit union or other financial institution to hold in their vault, an electronic lien or notice is stored. ELT continues to expand across the United States and 2011 could see more states setting up
