A COUPLE of opinion polls show a shocking 27 percent of Americans believe President Obama was "probably" or "definitely" born in another country.
Three cheers, therefore, to Hawaii Gov. Neil Abercrombie, who vows to try to release more information proving that President Obama was indeed born in Hawaii, well after statehood, and is a U.S. citizen.
Here's a wild idea: How about a New Year's resolution to fight only about things based on facts. This nonsense has gone on long enough.
The Hawaiian islands became a state in 1959. Documents show Barack Obama was born there on Aug. 4, 1961. What else do you need to know?
It is one thing for Americans to engage in informed disagreements about varied interpretations of facts, quite another to waste so much time battling over lies whipped up in someone's kitchen.
Informed citizens should stand against this silliness. Abercrombie was a friend of Obama's parents and knew him as a child. Obviously, the newly elected governor has much to do to shore up Hawaii's economy and run the state, the clear first orders of business.
But some time in 2011, he is right to ask the state attorney general's office and health officials how he can release more birth documentation to put this outrageous fib to rest.
Hawaii's health director said last year and during the presidential campaign that she had seen and verified original birth documents and produced birth notices in Honolulu's newspapers published within days of his birth at a hospital in Honolulu.
Detractors will argue that Abercrombie is a friend of the family, so he is the wrong person to correct the record. No, he is the right individual to rectify a fabrication. He knew the family and the baby when he was born....

Hurrah for the truth, which isn’t on Obama’s side.
Which documents? Funny how those documents don't include a birth certificate...
“The Hawaiian islands became a state in 1959. Documents show Barack Obama was born there on Aug. 4, 1961. What else do you need to know? “
He showed his birth certificate like John Kerry showed his 180.
I agree! So no more global warming BS then, right?
There is a kenyan document showing steve dunham born in kenya.
OK since you asked, did Hussein ever claim he was foreign born, like when he applied to Occidental or Columbia?
Sorry fatboy. I think we've had about all the "information" we can stand. If you want to get your fat ass involved in this, how 'bout a long form birth certificate? I'm not a "birther" but I know when someone is peeing on my leg and telling me it's raining.
Why is it stories like this appear in editions with the highest circulation while other stories that could possibly be construed as being critical of the left get entirely ignored?
Ah, that’s right. Back to 2010.
Obama gets a Nobel Prize for “potential”.
School kids are rewarded for failure.
The Hawaiian Governor gets props for something he vows to do (and has admitted in interviews that he doesn’t know how to go about his avowed task).
I’m seeing a pattern here....
Watch megyn kelly get an exclusive with these crap editors!
Exactly! A birth certificate with the name of the doctor, official seal, place of birth, hospital name and Bombo’s little footprint, which could probably be proven to be his and no one else’s.
That’s all we’ve ever asked.
1. Gore lost. There was no stolen election. So, quit sniveling.
2. Clinton committed perjury. He should have been removed from office.
3. Carter was, until Obama, the worst President in the history of the Republic.
Suggestion to the Seattle Times: What about a New Year’s resolution holding aspirants to high office accountable for promoting the representation of documents on the Internet as being something other than what they are, commonly known as lying and deceiving?
Which ones? The Obamas or the Soetoros?
I have to prove that I am legally able to do my job.
Why does the president get a pass?
