Exceptionally stupid. Although, if hes intent on digging up background on The One, I wouldnt mind seeing what he comes up with by way of transcripts from Columbia.
Its an insult to his mother and to his father, and I knew his mother and father; they were my friends, and I have an emotional interest in that, Governor Abercrombie said in a telephone interview late Thursday. Its an emotional insult. It is disrespectful to the president; it is disrespectful to the office.
The governor, a Democrat and former congressman, said he has initiated conversations with the states attorney general and the chief of its Health Department about how he can release more explicit documentation of Mr. Obamas birth on Aug. 4, 1961, at Kapiolani Maternity and Gynecological Hospital. He said he has done so of his own accord, without consulting the White House, which declined to comment
Mr. Abercrombie, 72, said that although he did not see the elder Obamas at the hospital with their newborn son, he did remember the couple bringing the baby to social events. He says the critics who suggest that Mr. Obamas mother slipped off to Kenya to give birth are engaging in a demonological fantasy. And he is angry about legislation in several states that would require presidential candidates to document that they were born in this country. A similar bill died in Congress last year.
First, and apropos of nothing, my mind is blown by the fact that the governor of Hawaii remembers the president of the United States as an infant. But never mind that.
Why is this tool dredging up an issue that, mercifully, had begun to go away? Hawaiis records department received only 16 requests for Obamas birth certificate in November, down from 50 or so a month last year. Higher courts have waved away multiple Birther petitions, and the court-martial of Lt. Col. Terry Lakin ended with him pleading guilty to failing to report for duty. This subject has no traction, in other words, either legally or in mainstream media, and thus had probably never been fringier when Abercrombie spoke up and decided to treat it as a problem that needs solving. Even his personal testimony about having seen Obama as a baby in Hawaii wont count for anything among true believers, since he admits that he wasnt at the hospital for the delivery which is too bad, since it would have been fun to watch them come up with theories to explain even that inconvenient fact away. (It was a changeling!)
This guys now placed himself in the following position. Either he inadvertently revives the Birther movement by crusading for a new law to make long-form birth certificates public without the approval of the individuals to whom they belong or he decides nothing can be done legally and backs off, which will itself inflame Birthers by inspiring dark theories about pressure on him from the White House to quiet down. And of course, since Abercrombies a liberal Democrat, if he does somehow manage to produce the long-form certificate and it confirms that Obamas birth happened as alleged, skeptics will dismiss it as a forgery planted by an ideological ally to throw Birthers off the scent of the real birth certificate. He cant win here. Why would he even try?

Did he meet them at Communist Party HQ or a cell meeting?
Really, are you going to show us the little bastard’s long form BC?
Amazing. The Tingler actually brought it up correctly on his show. He had two kookball Libs on who are so brain dead they did not understand what was going on.
Where was this sleazebag when Dubya was in office?
This is misinformation at its finest.
There’s only one way to ‘put an end to this crap’. WHY don’t they just do it?
Odd that the governor would have met a couple of obscure commie nobodies at a party in ‘61, and still more odd he’d remember them.

Disrespectful...? Oooh! How dare we! Is that the next “hate crime” in your Socalist/Fascist playbook?
Of course, you RAT scum were NEVER “disrepectful” to George W. Bush... were you?
Or it could be that there are other technical problems regarding his Indonesian citizenship and his return to the USA. Velly Interesting.
He would’ve been 21 years old if my math is correct.
“Were going to put a stop to this Birther crap once and for all.”
No you’re not Neil, this is handled at a level higher than you are. Besides you are 72 and don’t have very long.
"...or he decides nothing can be done legally and backs off, which will itself inflame Birthers by inspiring dark theories about pressure on him from the White House to quiet down."This is what Obama would prefer as it keeps a fruitless debate going on so he can do his deconstructing of the constitution in the shadows.
Zer0 bamboozled millions... gave us the old 'okee doke.'
Where's the original Certificate of Live Birth, Mr. President? And where's the old 1980's passport you traveled on?
I would love it if he could produce a long form birth certificate. I’m betting the only thing they can legally produce is one that says “AMENDED” in big black letters....
Yeah, I just checked Wiki & learned he was obtaining his graduate degree at the time.
i think there is something on birth certificate these
guys don’t want us to see. maybe father is listed
as unknown. maybe religion is listed as muslim.
there has to be something the president finds concerning
or embarrassing.
does not make any difference where obama was born.
his father was not a u.s. citizen,
therefore, obama is not a natural born citizen.
Why do I get the impression that this guy is not objective?
