Congressman Darryl Issa is quoted today as saying no “birther” investigations for him.
From an article published in the latest issue of the New Yorker Magazine:
Issa has tried to draw a line separating events that he considers appropriate subjects for investigation and those which he deems inappropriate. He has criticized his predecessors for wasting time looking into matters involving the Clintons that predated their arrival at the White House, such as the Whitewater and cattle-futures episodes. These are items that occurred before the President was elected, Issa told me. I would not have viewed them as particularly significant. He added that issues involving Obamas past are also off limits, such as the birther question. Implicit in this rule is that his past should also be left undisturbed.
Darrells sensitive about fixating too much on his past, Bardella said. Obviously, the stuff that happened . . . His voice trailed off. We can talk about it, as well we should. It is part of his past, but it does make him somewhat wary.
The section quoted above is about 3/4ths of the way through a rather lengthy article.

By the way, it looks like there's a scan available of the handwritten birth record from the state archives as found by Governor Abercrombie.
