Was Abercrombie’s “Quest” for Obama’s Long-Form Birth Certificate Staged?
The Post & Email ^ | January 22, 2011 | G-Starz

Posted on 01/22/2011 9:44:26 AM PST by RobinMasters

(Jan. 22, 2011) — Yesterday an article was published in the Honolulu Star Advertiser entitled “Abercrombie Drops Quest for Obama’s Birth Certificate” written by an unnamed Associated Press writer. Here are my comments:

In an incredibly lame and cowardly anticlimactic announcement, hiding behind his spokeswoman Donalyn Dela Cruz, Abercrombie’s spokeswoman, in plain political defense, in the Hawaiian Sun Advertiser, said this:

There is nothing more that Gov. Abercrombie can do within the law to produce a document. Unfortunately, there are conspirators who will continue to question the citizenship of our president.

The Star Advertiser continues:

Abercrombie, who was a friend of Obama’s parents and knew him as a child, launched an effort last month to find a way to dispel conspiracy theories that the president was born elsewhere. The governor said at the time he was bothered by people who questioned Obama’s birthplace for political reasons.

But Abercrombie’s investigation reached a dead end when Louie told him the law restricted his options.

Here are several important points that need to be noted that only make the situation all the more suspicious to any reasonable person, Dela Cruz’s Hillary Clinton-esque “right-wing conspiracy defense” notwithstanding:

1 - Bad political news is always dropped late Friday at the end of the news cycle in the hope that it will disappear from general view. The timing almost conclusively suggests that they do not see this as a win for themselves.

2 - Rush Limbaugh has officially, albeit belatedly, entered the debate full-throttle with the opening of his show this same day, highlighting the absurdity of the Abercrombie quest investigation. This must have been pretty alarming to the Obama camp, as Limbaugh’s embracing of the issue is likely to make it safe for many others outside of Limbaugh’s 20,000,000-person listenership to do the same.

It's the new defense line against the usurper. Get a few states to make ballot eligibility laws where Obama has to decide to run the gauntlet in 2012 using lies and forgeries that he is a natural born citizen. I think he runs away folds up shop saying one term is enough. He chickens out.

It will all be because of the "Birthers" who challenged his lying butt. The lame media, Rinos, and Obots will know the truth, but won't acknowledge the truth...but that's to be expected. :-)

Let us hope this comes to past. Chances of ever trying him and him ending up in prison are unlikely. But it would sure throw a monkey wrench into the far left's face for a little while. Especially if in 2012 a conservative Republican ended up winning.

As long as we get this radical “small c” socialist out of the WH any legal means is fine by me. If he gets kicked out based on the fact he cannot prove he is legal then let him move to say Kenya with his family. Put the poor dog up for adoption, and he leaves less secret service protection. It is bad enough he has made over a half million dollars just in salary thus far for being a trained far left socialist community organizer, and has done so much damage already to this country and it’s future.

Note to my Congressman sent yesterday:

Re State of the Union:

Congressman:

I know you don’t like to make waves, but is there any chance you could raise a Point of Order at the State of the Union on Tuesday, and ask the Speaker whether the man delivering the speech is eligible under the Constitution to be there.

We know (?) that his father wasn’t a citizen, so he really is disqualified you must know.

But is this f&*@%r even a citizen? Does he have the paperwork to even get a Driver’s License in NJ?

Couldn’t you ask the Speaker to have the man show at least that he was born in the United States? Or is this too much to ask?

ML/NJ

---------------

Will a single person at the State of the Union have the guts to stand up and say ...

"Obama ! Why won't you show us your Original Birth Certificate???"

Would a single man or woman in Congress have the guts to say this to his face? On national TV?

I think such a person would be a hero to the American Republic and famous for the next 100 years.

Is this true? Why isn’t this being done??


Yes, it’s true and it probably isn’t being done because the Republican leader in the House isn’t a “birther.”

More BS from the cut and paste man. Full faith and credit does not extend to fraudulently obtained documents and requires authentication. What do Hawaii regs state about authenticity of Vital Records? Check your rules of evidence or did you miss that lession because it came postage due and you were short of aluminum cans to pay for it?


So you don’t think that the Abercrombie administration will authenticate Obama’s COLB after the Republicans in the Lingle administration already did?
That’s an interesting point of view.
At the bottom of every Certification of Live Birth issued by the state of Hawaii it states: “This copy is prima facie evidence of the fact of birth in any court proceeding.”
Abercrombie will most definitely issue a new certified copy to Obama if he should need one.

Obama voted for a law in 2005 that requires states to have issuing agencies verify the validity of birth certificates when used to apply for drivers license and ID cards. Notice the hypocrisy in the state of Hawaii not allowing its own governor to verify the validity of Obama’s birth certificate and ignoring that their own state law ALLOWS such disclosures for such purposes. If folks want to make this ugly, ask your state reps to adopt a bill similar to the Federal “Real ID Act” for their presidential ballots.

What you just quoted doesn’t authenticate Obama’s alleged COLB. It does the opposite. Abercrombie is hiding the record now the same Lingle did.

Why would AberCommie have to twist his arm when Hawaii and all their officials have ALREADY been covering for Obama for three years. I’m sure Hawaii has been receiving graft in the form of government largess for quite awhile now.
***Because AberCommie didn’t get his “fair” share, if any at all. So he puts the squeeze on zer0bama, gets his cash and now has to act the fool as part of the deal.

Get a subpoena from a judge or a congressional subpoena and both Lingle and Abercrombie magically become irrelevant.

Here’s what I think will happen if any of these states pass these laws. Obama will simply submit a statement saying that he is currently the President of the United States and that his very status as POTUS is proof that he previously satisfied the constitutional requirements to be POTUS. Once again, no court will be willing to investigate for fear that there will be mass riots in the AA community if he is deposed, so they’ll all rule in his favor.

You sound just like our newly zotted Mrs. TNTNTNT LoL. Yes, lets go to court and see what AberCrummie is now hiding for Obama.

I’ll bet you dollars to donuts Troll-bot that Hawaii can’t prove Obama was born there.


Hawaii doesn’t have to prove that Obama was born there. Birther-bots have to prove that he wasn’t born there.

Do I need to quote you again on how neither you nor I can make this happen??

Boehner’s quote looks premature and uninformed thanks to Gov. Abercrombie’s recently bumbling inability to back up that up.

I think Boehner goes with the words of Lingle and Hawaii Republicans, not Hawaii Democrats.

Depending on the laws of the state that you live in, it might be possible for you to volunteer for a Grand Jury, get accepted and convince the District Attorney or US Attorney to subpoena Obama’s birth records.

Abercrombie was trying to back up the words of those Hawaii Republicans and failed miserably. Do you not understand that??

You keep moving your goalposts:

"You or I would end up being rejected like the unknowns who have sued Obama thus far. The birther issue needs a big name, political star to take the lead and seek the subpoena."
