AFAIK, the Birth index from that time period has already been seen and had it's own day in the sun as being the Birther’s latest magic bullet. When it got them nowhere, they moved on to their next fixation. That was back in 2010, I think. The Birthers have gone down so many dead ends that it is hard to keep track of them.

Abercrombie stated that he saw the birth record, and that it was there. He is however prevented by state law from disclosing it or information in it. He apparently shot his mouth off prior to understanding this limitation of the governor's office. It's the same limitation that kept his GOP predecessor (you know, the one that spoke at the RNC convention in 2008) from disclosing it as well.

But Birthers like to skip that part. It skews the meme.

Abercrombie stated that he saw the birth record, and that it was there.

Don't obfuscate. He said an actual "record" was there. That something was "actually written down", or some such. This is not at all the same thing as saying a normal and ordinary birth certificate is there, and is in fact peculiar language to describe "it".

Beyond that, with Hawaii's (weird) law allowing birth certificates to be given to children not actually born there, it wouldn't be positive PROOF that he was actually born in Hawaii even if there WAS an ordinary birth certificate in the records.

He is however prevented by state law from disclosing it or information in it.

And this is a point I have objected to from day one. It is unreasonable to allow a State Law to block verification of a Federal and Constitutional requirement.

He apparently shot his mouth off prior to understanding this limitation of the governor's office.

Now I agree with this.
