HONOLULU (AP) — The family of a Honolulu doctor whose signature appears on President Barack Obama’s birth certificate woke up to the news that the late obstetrician had delivered Obama.
Relatives of Dr. David Sinclair told The Associated Press on Wednesday they were “blown away” and “honored” to hear the news that he delivered the nation’s 44th president.
So-called “birthers” have questioned Obama’s birthplace and his legitimacy to be president.
A signature on the certificate appears to read “David. A. Sinclair.”
Karl Sinclair, of Kailua, says his father delivered babies all over the state when Obama was born in 1961. The doctor died in 2003.
