Abercrombie asked nominee to withdraw

Doctor says he doesn’t know the reason for request

January 29, 2011

HONOLULU (AP) - Gov. Neil Abercrombie's office said he asked Dr. Neal Palafox to withdraw his nomination to lead the state Department of Health, contradicting his administration's previous claim that Palafox withdrew himself.

Abercrombie spokeswoman Donalyn Dela Cruz confirmed it was the governor and not Palafox who asked for the withdrawal.

Dela Cruz declined to discuss the reason for Palafox's abrupt departure, and Palafox has said he doesn't know what led to his Wednesday dismissal after a month as interim Health Department director.

What’s up with this? Did Palafox mislead Abercrombie about the birth certificate?

That would appear to be the spin.

It's simply what liberals do.

If you are referring to Abercrombie, he seems to me to be weakminded and cowardly overall when his actions are viewed in toto.

One could conjecture that Abercrombie needed some sort of political cover to let himself off the hook for producing the Soetero aka Obama long form birth certificate. (Recall Abercrombie announcing that he was told that he was blocked from producing the Soetero aka Obama birth certificate a few days ago by statute?) One could conjecture that Abercrombie asked Palafox to make some sort announcement to that effect, and Palafox refused. Then Abercrombie started some rumors about Palafox, hoping Palafox would take a hint and go quietly. Palafox eventually took the hint by resigning, but as he was leaving, he told the truth that Abercrombie had asked him to resign, again destroying Abercrombie's cover when reporters finally caught up with events.

Through lack of foresight and lack of personal integrity, Abercrombie is being made -- by his own actions -- to look like a big time fool and political coward for attempting to destroy Palafox's good name for his own political purposes and the political purposes of Soetero aka Obama.

The above are only my own personal conjectures using Occam's Razor, and I have no personal knowledge of the events.

Abercrombie must have a split personality. He could make a movie: The Two Faces of Evil.

Seems Abercromie got a surprise when he started digging into the records. It wasn't what he expected.

Dangerously incompetent. Thanks SteveH.

Maybe very soon, Dr. Palafox will start talking after he tunnels his way out from under the Obama bus.

On the Fox News network, of course.

When Polafox wouldn’t cite personal reasons as his reason to resign but instead acted like he had no idea why he was resigning, I figured there was more to the story. Looks to me like Abercrombie and the state AG - the two people who are lying to the public about not being able to disclose Obama’s BC - are ganging up against Polafax.

Maybe the guy has some integrity and they’re afraid he’ll answer honestly. The threat of an investigation is the Soros/Obama machine’s way of dealing with people they’re afraid of, such as the Chrysler lawyer, AIG, a bunch of IG’s including Gerald Walpin, and media heads if they allowed the eligibility issue to be reported on. It would be really easy to plant “evidence” in a medical billing accusation. Polafax probably doesn’t even have anything to do with the billing process.

In any event we’ve got the first documented instance of Abercrombie’s office self-admittedly lying to the public about its role in a very public, official event (the resignation of the DOH Director) - right after making an ass of himself and apparently contradicting earlier statements he had loudly made to the whole world, about seeing Obama as a baby with SAD and BHO Sr and about Obama being born at Kapiolani.

And right after a guy who repeatedly said he had spoken directly to Abercrombie suddenly lied to change his story. In spite of the story being national Abercrombie apparently hasn’t been in contact with his friend to clarify things so the guy can give a good answer to the questions he’s stuck in the middle of.

I’m hoping the Hawaii bureaucrats (such as Janice Okubo, Kevin Cronin, Cathy Takase, etc) will realize that they would be wise to be the first to come forward with the truth so they can make a plea deal.

He’s been “accused” of false billing which I suspect is something subjective that half of the doctors in the country are vulnerable to being hauled in on due to the myriad complexities in billing and all the forms that go with it and careless administrative practices.

This is kind of like the old loan application review that the FBI uses on reluctant witnesses. They go pull your car and home loan applications. If you made the slightest bit of income embellishment or an overly optimistic assessment of your assets or your existing home’s resale value, then they threaten to prosecute you for falsifying federal documents. Of course they will look the other way if you decide to go ahead and tell them what they want to know about your friend or colleague they are investigating.

I suspect the doctor has something to do with this birth certificate issue exploding on the national scene again and Barry’s thugs now need to install their own person to guard the store. So someone dragged out the “billing charges” issue to encourage him to move along. Just a guess but its probably something like that.

Add Palaox to the list of good men whose lives have been damaged by BS’s refusal to let his amended birth certificate (the one that has him as Barry Sotero, as adopted by his Indonesian step-father) available for public perusal.

Tie this to the coverup over his passport, for which a man was murdered, the murders of a Gay member of his church in Chicago, and the strange number of Social Security Numbers attributed to him.

Rahm Emanuel has been set up to keep this covered up, as has William Daley, who will keep political fires out in DC.

Why has Tony Rezko not been sentenced?

Because by keeping him in suspense over his sentence, they have leverage to keep him quiet.
