Hawaii Gov. gives up search for Obama Birth Certificate
Charlotte Conservative ^ | 1/23/2011

Posted on 01/24/2011 4:37:33 AM PST by IbJensen

Abercrombie finds only notation in a log book.

From Eric Dondero:

Republican Congressman Bill Posey of Florida introduced legislation last year to require future presidential candidates provide proof of United States citizenship for the Presidency.

From LR, July 2, 2009, “3 libertarian-leaning Congressman sign on to Posey bill demanding Birth Certificate for Presidential eligibility” July 9, 2009:

While it may be too late to revoke Barack Hussein Obama’s hold on the Presidency, it is not too late to make the issue of his birth outside of the United States, most likely in Kenya, an issue for Campaign 2012.

With that in mind, a coalition of conservatives and libertarians around the Nation are pushing for the enactment of HR 1503, introduced by freshman Republican Congressman of Florida Bill Posey. The legislation would require proof of birth in the United States of America or its Territories to run for the office of the Presidency. This shall take the form of a valid hospital-issued birth certificate, and not just a receipt for such a certificate as Obama has released.

The legislation got off to a slow start. Only Rep. Bill Goodlatte (R) of Virginia, agreed to sign on. Then, Randy Neugebauer, R-Texas, came on board. Within weeks, 5 Republican Congressmen have signed on. Besides the 3, co-sponsors include: Reps. Marsha Blackburn (TN), John Carter (TX), John Culberson (TX), Ted Poe (TX), and Dan Burton (IN).

The language from the Bill:

“To amend the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971 to require the principal campaign committee of a candidate for election to the office of President to include with the committee`s statement of organization a copy of the candidate`s birth certificate, together with such other documentation as may be necessary to establish that the candidate meets the qualifications for eligibility…” The legislation died a slow death in committee with Democrats having a big majority in the House. Also of note, on the Senate side, Sen. Tom Coburn of Oklahoma vowed to support the Posey Bill if it made it out of the House, writing to a constituent, “I will likely support it.” See LR article, “Sen. Tom Coburn vows to support Posey Bill”.

Rush calls Abercrombie failure “stunning” Now a bombshell announcement out of Hawaii.

From Fox Nation “Hawaii Governor Claims Record of Obama’s Birth ‘Exists in Archives’ But Can’t Produce the Vital Document” Jan. 20:

Pressure was mounting on Hawaii Governor Neil Abercrombie today amid increasing confusion over whether President Obama was born there. Abercrombie said on Tuesday that an investigation had unearthed papers proving Obama was born in Hawaii in 1961.

He told Honolulu’s Star-Advertiser: ‘It actually exists in the archives, written down,’ he said.

But it became apparent that what had been discovered was an unspecified listing or notation of Obama’s birth that someone had made in the state archives and not a birth certificate.

Now Rush Limbaugh has called Abercrombie’s admission “stunning” via NewsMax:

“Remember, he started out, the whole reason for doing this, was to get it off the table so it wasn’t an election issue for 2012.

“But he’s done the exact opposite now. How many of us could get away with saying, ‘Yeah, there’s a little notation somewhere there in the archives, but we can’t find the birth certificate.’”

A check of Cong. Posey’s site shows no new efforts to re-introduce the Bill.

To urge Cong. Posey to re-introduce the legislation contact posey.house.gov.

The diversion continues.

The CommieRATs want everyone thinking all that's required to be a NATURAL BORN CITIZEN is birth in the US.

like the song says, “hit him with your best shot”.
We need to hammer obammy with any and every possible issue to deter his destruction of America.
His marxism, his high taxes, his social welfare, his give away to “black farmers”, etc etc.
Gots to be a reason this pos has spent millions hiding his real certificate.

Every State should be passing this as a requirement in order to get a candidate’s name on their state ballot.

They’re playing the “birth certificate is protected by HIPAA” card saying that only Obama can release it.

That’s BS! By deciding to run for president, you are required to show proof of all things required to run for that office. Conveniently leaving out a critical piece of information like a birth certificate should have invalidated his candidacy outright.

In the years to come, I guarantee we’re going to hear about the collusion and corruption in the Democrat party, specifically with regards to Pelosi’s ram-it-and-jam-it technique for getting States to sign off on his candidacy paperwork. The damage will be done, and we’ll be left looking at a smoldering shell of a country thanks to this infantile dolt in the White House.

“Hawaii Gov. gives up search for Obama Birth Certificate”

He probably heard, “You’ll give it up if you know what’s good for you and your family.”.

Actually, this makes Obama look even worse. It makes it clear that it’s his decision not to release it.

And why shouldn’t he release it...unless he has something to hide? Or the BC doesn’t exist, and he knows it?

Something smells fishy in the Pacific Ocean and I think it’s coming from Hawaii. I agree with Rush that this search by the Hawaiian governor is a scam for some political reason not yet known. The main reason the Governor’s search is suspicious is that, due to privacy act laws, the Governor can no more go into a hospital or any other office and demand they open the files than I can. This whole story makes no sense.

Some of us knew the resident was a bullsh!t fraud from the get go.

Additionally, Eric Cantor is an idiot.

The law already exists at the federal level. Now how do we think the federal courts and supreme court look now? The law only applies to some.

And FWIW, the last Secretary of State in Hawaii needs to be indicted.

Add the words "natural born" to your line and you have a winner. I actually think he could have been born in Hawaii. I also think there is something on the document (and a lot of other ones) that he desperately does not want the public to see.

Why cantor took the bait shows he is a fool. I suspect the blogger who suspects that the Soros puppet legal name is still Barry Soreto is correct. I suspect this fraud received special school funding and admissions pretending to be an Indonesian .

Abercrombie spends about as much time looking for Obama’s birth certificate as OJ spent looking for the ‘real’ killers.
