RUSH: I've been sitting on this story all week, purposely, just to see where it would go. And it has grown. This governor out in Hawaii, Neil Abercrombie, a well-known socialist, by the way, longtime member of Congress, now the governor of Hawaii, eally stepped in it earlier, well, I think it was not even this week, it was last week. The governor, Neil Abercrombie, some time ago said, (paraphrasing) "Look, I was there when Obama was born in Hawaii. That birth certificate, it exists. Everybody knows it. I was there when that kid was born." Turns out he wasn't there, and he admitted he wasn't there. He was there in spirit. He was trying to say he's that certain. See, he thinks that Obama ought to just get this off the table. Abercrombie is worried that this birth certificate thing is going to be a lingering problem heading into 2012. So Abercrombie, big friend of Obama, tried to step in there and head this off at the pass. It turns out he can't find the birth certificate, the governor of Hawaii cannot find it. It's just a notation that somebody wrote down.

Why didn’t you post the rest of it?
I will:
First the bottom line:
“... it’s really hard for me to believe that Neil Abercrombie just one day woke up on his own and without consultation said, “This birth thing bugs me. I’m gonna call a press conference, and I’m gonna tell people I was there when he was born, and I knew his mom and dad, and he was born here and I’m gonna prove it.” I said earlier, Abercrombie’s no fool. Many Hawaiians would disagree with me on that, many have. But if this guy is acting on his own as I have just described, that’s unbelievable. The alternative is he’s not acting on his own, this is all part of a continuing head fake and that at some point after a lot of people have gotten revved up cause now, the UK Daily Mail Online is more mainstream than anywhere else in America this has. Okay, so it ratchets up and ratchets up and then a couple years down the road, year and a half down the road, guess what, the thing’s found, and, oh, can you imagine the air that will be let out of people’s sails then?
Now, you have to ask yourself, is this regime capable of that kind of trick? Yeah, they are. Are they capable of having the newly elected governor, a Democrat, replacing a Republican, Neil Abercrombie, start out this whole thing? Are they typical, capable of coming up with a program where Abercrombie embarrasses himself around the world on this and then all of a sudden after, what would it be, six and a half, seven years, voila, somebody finds the birth certificate right out in the open in some file in Hawaii. With this bunch the point is you just never know. ...
” I’ll tell you why I think Abercrombie may just be toying around with everybody on this to pull a political trick later on down the line. Remember October 31st, 2008, there was a statement from the director of the Hawaii Department of Health. His name is Chiyome Fukino, and here is the statement. I mean, all Abercrombie would have to do is ask this guy because this guy in his statement says he’s seen it. “There have been numerous requests for Sen. Barack Hussein Obama’s official birth certificate. State law prohibits the release of a certified birth certificate to persons who do not have a tangible interest in the vital record.
Therefore, I as Director of Health for the State of Hawaii, along with the Registrar of Vital Statistics who has statutory authority to oversee and maintain these type of vital records, have 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.” So right here in his statement in 2008, he said he’s seen it. Yet Abercrombie can’t find it. Now, what gives here? Abercrombie is a Democrat. He’s from the Pelosi, Jim Wright school. This guy was a Democrat for a long time. This guy knows every trick in the book. This guy voted with the Soviets over the Contras in Nicaragua.
This guy is every bit as far left as anybody in the House is today and he’s running around saying he can’t find the birth certificate and he’s the governor. Yet the Department of Health director issued a statement on Halloween (I’m sure that’s a coincidence) of 2008. He’s seen it. “I as Director of Health for the State of Hawaii, along with the Registrar of Vital Statistics who has statutory authority to oversee and maintain these type of vital records, have 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.
“No state official, including Governor Linda Lingle, has ever instructed that this vital record be handled in a manner different from any other vital record in the possession of the State of Hawaii.” So the director of health for Hawaii says he personally saw it. I’ve got the PDF file of his statement. I could link to it. We could post it at RushLimbaugh.com. Now, out of the blue here comes the new governor, Abercrombie, saying he can’t find it. Now (sigh), folks, I’m just warning you: Be very, very careful on this. Something here is just not right ...”
Complete transcript:
This has now made its way to the UK Daily Mail: “Hawaii Governor Claims Record of Obama’s Birth ‘Exists in Archives’ but Can’t Produce the Vital Document.” That’s the headline. The story originated at World Net Daily in this country earlier, and of course if it originates anywhere outside the mainstream press, the mainstream press will not acknowledge it. “Pressure was mounting on Hawaii Governor Neil Abercrombie today amid increasing confusion over whether President Obama was born there.” This is the UK Daily Mail. “Abercrombie said on Tuesday that an investigation had unearthed papers proving Obama was born in Hawaii in 1961. He told Honolulu’s Star-Advertiser: ‘It actually exists in the archives, written down,’ he said. But it became apparent that what had been discovered was an unspecified listing or notation of Obama’s birth that someone had made in the state archives and not a birth certificate. And in the same interview Abercrombie suggested that a long-form, hospital-generated birth certificate for Barack Obama may not exist within the vital records maintained by the Hawaii Department of Health. He said efforts were still being made to track down definitive vital records that would prove Obama was born in Hawaii.”
Remember, he started out, the whole reason for doing this was to firmly prove it and establish and get it off the table so it wasn’t an election issue for 2012. And he’s done the exact opposite now. I mean how many of us could get away with saying, “Yeah, there’s a little notation somewhere there in the archives. We can’t find the birth certificate. Oh, well, welcome to America, Mr. Limbaugh.” Do you think if this was me and they were trying to prove that I wasn’t an American and I insisted that I was, but I couldn’t produce a birth certificate or wouldn’t, and yet the governor of Missouri says, “Oh, yeah, there’s a little notification, somebody wrote down Limbaugh was born here.” Do you think that would fly? No, it wouldn’t be, “Let him back in the country.” It would be, “Get him out of the country. This guy’s been an infiltrator since he was two,” is what they would say about me, claiming that my original country of origin was China.
Abercrombie was asked: ‘You stirred up quite a controversy with your comments regarding birthers and your plan to release more information regarding President Barack Obama’s birth certificate. How is that coming?’” Kind of like how is that hope and change working for you? “He acknowledged the birth certificate issue would have ‘political implications’ for the next presidential election ‘that we simply cannot have.’” Now, what does this tell us? Neil Abercrombie is no fool. When it comes to electoral politics, Abercrombie knows the ins and outs, and if Abercrombie senses a problem here — look, the big mistake was to announce in public what you were gonna do before you knew you had what you told everybody what you were gonna produce. This is kind of like a lawyer granting somebody immunity without knowing what the heck they’re going to say. So Abercrombie’s kinda caught now.
“He acknowledged the birth certificate issue would have ‘political implications’ for the next presidential election ‘that we simply cannot have.’ ‘It’s a matter of principle with me,’ the 72-year-old said. ‘I knew his mum and dad. I was here when he was born. Anybody who wants to ask a question honestly could have had their answer already.’” But nobody has come forward to definitively prove it. In fact, most government officials have apparently done their best to seal it all off, whatever there is, they’ve sealed it all off. And they’ve tried to pooh-pooh any interest in it. And they have attempted to impugn those who have interest in it. It’s merely a presidential constitutional requirement. It’s really no big deal as far as the libs are concerned, but the Constitution’s an impediment to them.
“Some believe his Certification of Live Birth is fake and he was really born in Kenya. Others argue that Obama is a citizen of the United Kingdom or Indonesia. Most theories have been dismissed by many in public office and the media, and have been found to be misleading or generally untrue.” But I don’t read here, it doesn’t say most theories have been dismissed by public records officials. It just says dismissed by many in public office and in the media. Well, big whoop. “However, the conspiracy theories still thrive, and according to Abercrombie, are likely to continue despite whatever evidence that shows him to be a proper U.S. citizen.” Well, that’s the thing. Abercrombie wanted to get this out of the way. I would think that if Abercrombie is gonna do this, he’s not the Lone Ranger. He’s gotta be calling the White House, “Okay, look, we have a potential problem here. I want to find this thing and I want to make it public.” If that happened, somebody at the regime did not say, “No, don’t do it,” because Abercrombie is still alive. If they had said, “No, don’t do it,” and Abercrombie is still doing it, I don’t even want to think of the consequences of that.
This is really not that hard. Look, if somebody wanted your birth certificate and you don’t have it, what do you do? You go to the state where you were born, go to the vital records, you go down there and you make a copy of it, produce it, let it be seen. The original thought was, well, you know, Obama, he knows he was born here. This is just toying. He knows that the birthers are a bunch of Looney Tune kook right-wingers, and he wants them illustrated as such. So he’ll toy with them, sort of like Charlie Brown and Lucy and the football. And the media went along with that, “Oh, that’s Obama. He’s really politically smart, really crafty here. He’s got these birthers looking like the Birchers that they are. He’s got ‘em looking like the biggest kooks on the face of the earth,” and it went on and on and on that way. We have had several people of decent reputations file lawsuits in various states and they were thrown out. So the popular opinion has been, the consensus has been, “Yeah, he was born in Hawaii, isn’t any big deal.” They still can’t prove it. This is stunning to me. Still can’t prove it.
Now, it’s still entirely possible all this is a giant head fake. For me, ladies and gentlemen, the sophisticated political figure that I am, it’s really hard for me to believe that Neil Abercrombie just one day woke up on his own and without consultation said, “This birth thing bugs me. I’m gonna call a press conference, and I’m gonna tell people I was there when he was born, and I knew his mom and dad, and he was born here and I’m gonna prove it.” I said earlier, Abercrombie’s no fool. Many Hawaiians would disagree with me on that, many have. But if this guy is acting on his own as I have just described, that’s unbelievable. The alternative is he’s not acting on his own, this is all part of a continuing head fake and that at some point after a lot of people have gotten revved up cause now, the UK Daily Mail Online is more mainstream than anywhere else in America this has. Okay, so it ratchets up and ratchets up and then a couple years down the road, year and a half down the road, guess what, the thing’s found, and, oh, can you imagine the air that will be let out of people’s sails then?
Now, you have to ask yourself, is this regime capable of that kind of trick? Yeah, they are. Are they capable of having the newly elected governor, a Democrat, replacing a Republican, Neil Abercrombie, start out this whole thing? Are they typical, capable of coming up with a program where Abercrombie embarrasses himself around the world on this and then all of a sudden after, what would it be, six and a half, seven years, voila, somebody finds the birth certificate right out in the open in some file in Hawaii. With this bunch the point is you just never know. “The Governor vowed when he took office in December that he would do his best to end the debate over Obama’s birth, which began in 2008 during the presidential campaign.” What’s wrong with that sentence? “The Governor vowed when he took office in December that he would do his best to end the debate over Obama’s birth.” Where’s the president on this? Where’s the president’s vow to end the debate over his birth? We’re going on four years now of this. It keeps intensifying. (interruption) Yeah, well, if that’s true, would that not be great? If they found it in a garage sale next to one of those shaved ice stations?
Here’s what’s gonna happen. That’s exactly right. They’re going to find it in a garage sale in Kahala, and it will be stapled to two things. It would be stapled to a pocket Constitution and the Declaration of Independence. (laughing) Anyway, “Hawaii Governor Claims Record of Obama’s Birth ‘Exists in Archives’ but Can’t Produce the Vital Document.” Where’s Obama? Where’s the White House? Is this guy flying alone? Neil Abercrombie on his own on this? So much of this is difficult to fathom, to believe.
“I’ll tell you why I think Abercrombie may just be toying around with everybody on this to pull a political trick later on down the line. Remember October 31st, 2008, there was a statement from the director of the Hawaii Department of Health. His name is Chiyome Fukino, and here is the statement.

Snerdley says he’s already got a call saying that somebody in Kenya has a birth certificate. What, the Hawaii birth certificate’s in Kenya? (interruption) The Kenyan Obama birth certificate is in Kenya? This guy on the phone has seen it? (interruption)
Oh, come on! Come on! Look, I know Open Line Friday is Open Line Friday, but not gonna take a call from somebody who says she has Obama’s Kenyan birth certificate! (interruption) What are you trying to do to me? The ChiComs have already set the American media on me. Now you’re trying to get the Kenyan media on me. (interruption) For crying out loud, Snerdley, don’t put that call up! Oh, my gosh. I knew I shoulda taken the day off.
BREAK TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: John in Orlando, Florida, great to have you with us on the EIB Network, sir, hello.
CALLER: Hello, Rush, 24/7 dittos from soggy Orlando today.
RUSH: Thank you, sir.
CALLER: It’s a pleasure to speak to you. The reason I was calling, I was listening to the program earlier, and I heard you say something about something doesn’t smell right with this whole birth certificate business in Hawaii.
RUSH: Right, it doesn’t, because the director of health out there says he’s seen the birth certificate. The governor says he wants to release it but he can’t find it. Now, something’s not anywhere near right here.
CALLER: Well, I’m sure that Obama and the left would like nothing more than to get talk radio, you and Hannity and Beck and all the rest, talking about all this stuff going on in Hawaii, sounding like a bunch of birthers, and then come back and attempt to discredit you, as if they could, just before the election —
RUSH: Yeah, I know.
CALLER: — and say you’re just a bunch of nut bags out there complaining and whining and all the rest.
RUSH: Yeah, because I can’t imagine Abercrombie being a free agent on this. Abercrombie gets inaugurated governor and out of the blue says, “Ah, you know what, I’m worried about this birther thing, they may have something there. I gotta find that birth certificate, and I’m gonna release it, I’m gonna prove it once and for all.” Then he says, “I can’t find it. Oh no, I’m in trouble. I’m really embarrassing myself here.” And that’s the hook and the bait, the unsuspecting and the beguiled are expected to chomp on that hook, line, and sinker and be reeled in. I agree with you, there is untruth throughout this. If the Department of Health guy in Hawaii has seen it, and Abercrombie can’t find it, and the White House is not commenting, yeah, I think, John, you’re on to something.

• UKDM: Hawaii Governor Claims Record of Obama’s Birth ‘Exists in Archives’ But Can’t Produce the Vital Document
I don't know. I am still waiting to see Bil Clinton's medical records.- tom
“Why didn’t you post the rest of it?”
It wouldn’t let me. So I excerpted it.
If that's the case, you can bet the farm that it will be a high-tech forgery, already prepared and all bases covered, including a string of willing accomplises who will vouch for its "authenticity".
There's NO DOUBT in my mind that if he were in fact a Natural Born Citizen, and IF his father identified on the Certificate IS Obama Sr., then it would have been produced already. ONLY if it's a forgery, with extensive fraudulent cover-up and supporting phoney evidence already in place, then it would be made available.
How about un-sealing all the records he immediately sealed on Day One when he took office, so his past travels, funding, citizenship, grades, etc. could be made public, so we could find out who this Usurper really is?
Does 0bama have a U.S. Passport? Has he ever had a passport from a foreign country?
Head Check fake out or not, the HUGE point is :
he at this time cannot prove he is eligible to be president of these United States.
Today.
Right now.
He should step down until he can prove he meets the Constitutional requirements.
I’m not sure who’s right here. I don’t think it’s a head fake because it was Hillary that started this, not the birthers. Hillary was onto something but pulled back when he won the nomination. Heck, for all I know, she might have the birth certificate. I understand the Clintons have quite a network.
Obama is the greatest fraud every perpetrated on this County.
The Socialists on the Left in league with the Media are 100% and totally responsible for this person’s unproven legal occupation of the White House.
Not to mention the laws he’s fraudulently enacted without the lawful authority to do so.
Rope-a-dope or no, if states will require proof of eligibility before putting presidential candidates on their ballots, this mess will be cleaned up. Either Barry will produce a document that looks authentic or he won’t. Eligible or not, Barry is going to run and lose. He has proven himself an incompetent idiot.
I hate it when I take the sucker bait with these fake names, Bob Wire, Bernie Peters.
Has anybody seen the original long form?
Fukino!
Rush does not trust Abercrombie, who he described as a leftist Democrat operative from way back. He thinks Abercrombie is trying to set him up. Suppose Rush goes off in all directions on this birth certificate thing; suppose he rants and raves and hollers until they produce something. Then suppose they pick their time and pull out the BC and accuse Rush of ranting and raving over “nothing” (implying that EVERYTHING he brings up is much ado about nothing). Right now, Rush is bringing up the GE TARP money and Obama’s circumvention of the law in regard to appointing the GE CEO to a government position, that needs to be investigated. It looks dirty, and Rush will point out such absurdity on the airwaves; the main reason Obama wants to shut him down. For now, others will have to carry the birth certificate water; there is SO MUCH dirty in this bunch that it’s too easy to fail to focus on what CAN be done - especially if you let them pull a rope a dope. Documents are too easy to forge.
Ultimately, State employees have to access BC records and to believe during the primaries that no employee would have taken a look and told the Clintons what was in the file cabinet is quite a stretch.
LOL!
I really doubt Rush is carrying the water for obozo.
You've been here way too long to accept that ridiculous Internet rumor as fact. See my FR homepage for details on that one.
... before placing them on a primary ballot. That would prevent the kind of last moment surprise that Rush envisions.
Check Sandy Bergler’s pants.
Bump that Captain. Actually, I hope Obama's long form BC gets revealed now or never. IF (big if) he is indeed not a naturally born citizen, this country could be truly torn. The reverberations will be felt for decades. Then, the conspirators should be tried and hanged (we are at war aren't we?). I do not even want to contemplate it, but I will if necessary.
