Hawaii governor vows to take on 'birthers' (Is Abercrombie lying about knowing Barry's parents?)
seattle times ^ | 12/28/2010 | Michael A. Memoli

Frustrated by what he sees as a never-ending campaign to undermine President Obama, Hawaii's new governor says he plans to use his post to counter conspiracy theorists who continue to claim the president was not born in the United States.

Neil Abercrombie, a Democrat who took office Dec. 6, has known Obama since the president was growing up in Hawaii. Abercrombie knew Obama's father, also named Barack, and mother, Stanley Ann Dunham.

That long-standing relationship is a major reason Abercrombie, 72, takes umbrage at the persistent effort by Obama's most ardent foes to assert he was born in Kenya, which, if true, would constitutionally bar him from holding the office of president.

"Now that I'm governor, I'm going to do something about that," Abercrombie vowed during an interview in his office. Abercrombie, who spent 19 years representing Hawaii's 1st District as one of the more liberal members of Congress, acknowledged he has not determined a specific remedy.

"What bothers me is that some people who should know better are trying to use this for political reasons," he said. "Maybe I'm the only one in the country that could look you right in the eye right now and tell you, 'I was here when that baby was born,' " he added.

“Doing something about it” in this case means that he will get out his shovel and bury any info about Obastard deeper.

The memory is seared, SEARED, into his mind. Maybe the Governor’s calendar/diary was lying to him.

Without this governor running his mouth the “birther” thing is over. But this guy puts it out in the public even more. Lots of people know nothing about the BC thing. Now they will. Why? Because this governor is going to “produce” a birth certificate. Remember, he’s a democrat. Which means he’s a crook and can’t be trusted.

As I recall, that one is still in dispute.

Neil was very well known among the antiwar protesters in HI during the Viet Nam war.. In fact, you'd find him right at the head of the socialist parade. He loves his commie brethren.

I remember from early threads before the election that Abercrombie has ties to Bam through either one or both of his parents.

I suspect it means he will produce the best possible forgery.

It will be good enough to fool at least one “expert,” whose verdict will be proclaimed definitive. Anyone who says it might be a forgery will be...well, you’ve seen what they’ve done to the so-called “birthers.”

Yeah. Remember when one of Clinton's minions testified (under oath)to Congress that he lied to his own diary?

C'mon it is part of a Democrat's DNA.

Lying is simply fulfilling their genetic destiny!

A PS to my post 26.

Abercrombie has ties to Obama and would lie for him.

You would be right. Even if Bam Bam was born on the Capital Steps he is still not a “Natural Born Citizen” he is a “Born Citizen” and not eligible to be POTUS.

I refer eveyone to SCOTUS: The Venus Case 1814, Shanks vs Dupont 1830, Minor vs Happersett 1875, Wong Kim Ark 1875. All 4 Supreme Court cases hold that a Natural Born Citizen is born in the US of two US citizen parents.

So why did not one Congress critter from either side of the aisle challenge Obama’s credentials in 2008? It drives me crazy.

This maroon doesn’t get it. There is one and only one way to prove that Obama was born in Hawaii. SHOW THE LONG FORM BIRTH CERTIFICATE.
Besides that I did ot realize that a Governors position had duty that required he kiss Obamas ass. I thought the OFFICE served the people of Hawaii not one person in DC....

All communists lie. Some are better than others. “Social” studies are chosen fields for lies and propaganda to impress and/or control other people. Willing and susceptible people follow thinking a PhD is the holy grail. Dictators like Stalin don’t need PhDs because they know how to lead these ‘intellectuals’.

soetoro is a pathological liar. His so-called birth certificate should be
a front and center campaign issue which he can no longer avoid.

There is really only one way to tell with certainty if Abercrombie (or any other liberal) is lying.

Do their lips move when they speak?

Sure, SEARED in his memory...just like Kerry’s ‘Christmas in Cambodia in 1968’ was SEARED into his. All rats are liars.

Okay, okay, they caught the problem. The solution here is simple ~ Abercrombie was himself a CIA construct, and he's been picked by them to go out and FIX the Obama problem as well as that of his mother and of Barack Obama Sr. in Africa.

Some young buck over there at Langley was tasked with creating a mommy, daddy and baby for a couple connected to Grandma and Grandpa Dunham ~ who were themselves CIA construct people used to infiltrate first the Kansas City Communist party apparatus, and then the Hawaii apparatus ~ they were MUCH MORE acceptable in that milieu with a non-white son in law, and also definitely had top street cred when their black grandson moved in with them.

Must be some more field operatives at stake in this one or this'd all been called short before now.

So the error is Abercrombie's mail-order degree dates or some such ~ he'll be tossed under the ethics bus to save this story.

You are, of course correct, but ONLY if Obama's mother didn't marry Barry Sr.

If she married him, there continues to be a serious problem since he had only a student visa.

Yes. It’s just like Sir Edmund Hillary was the source of Hillary Clinton’s name except that he was an unknown beekeeper who had not yet climbed Mt. Everest when Hillary Rodham was born and named.
