Thank you, Fred. All too often the British press did a far better job of reporting on Obama than the US media. The latter tended to be merely an arm of the DNC, whereas the British press had more independence. Also, the Brits were less coerced by the fear of being labeled racist, so they had greater freedom to tell the truth.
Excellent post.
Why use the foreign press when you can actually read the original interview?
Oh yeah it doesn’t ‘t support your nonsense.
Q: You stirred up quite a controversy with your comments regarding birthers and your plans to release more information regarding President Barack Obama’s birth certificate. How is that coming?
A: I got a letter from someone the other day who was genuinely concerned about it; it is not all just political agenda. They were talking on Olelo last night about this; it has a political implication for 2012 that we simply cannot have.
It was actually written I am told, this is what our investigation is showing, it actually exists in the archives, written down …
…What I can do, and all I have ever said, is that I am going to see to it as governor that I can verify to anyone who is honest about it that this is the case.
If there is a political agenda then there is nothing I can do about that, nor can the president.

Nothing about not finding the birth certificate which everyone agrees he could not release.
What Abercrombie apparently said reminds me of the CYA weather forecasts we get in Oz from the weather bureau, it always starts with a headline, HEAVY RAINS, DANGEROUS STORMS EXPECTED...and descends into ‘due to a weak el Nino it could be dryer than last year with possibility of drought conditions...
Which keeps them employed but tells you nothing...just like Abercrombie.
btw, h/t Ladysforest for the graphic.
