During an interview on the KQRS morning radio show on January 20, Mike Evans, a long-time friend of Hawaii governor Neil Abercrombie, shared a conversation he had with the governor the day prior. The reader is advised to judge for himself the credibility of Evans' account, but he sounds convincing.
Evans, Honolulu born and now a Hollywood-based celebrity journalist, claimed that Abercrombie had promised him that he when he became governor, he planned to find absolute proof that Obama was born in Hawaii.
When Evans spoke to Abercrombie on January 19, Abercrombie reportedly told him that he searched the relevant Hawaii hospitals using his powers as governor, and concluded, according to Evans, "There is no Barack Obama birth certificate in Hawaii, absolutely no proof at all that Obama was born in Hawaii." After Abercrombie made such a fuss about finding the birth certificate, Evans concluded of his friend that he has "got some egg in the face."
Curiously too, when Evans asked Abercrombie when he first encountered the young Barack Obama, Abercrombie reportedly said, "I remember him playing in a T-Ball league," when he was roughly five or six years old.
The reader may recall that Abercrombie had told the Los Angeles Times just before Christmas, "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.'"
A few days later, Abercrombie clarified to Mark Niesse of the Associated Press that he didn't exactly see Obama's parents with their newborn son at the hospital, but that he "remembers seeing Obama as a child with his parents at social events." Of course, Obama Sr. had left for Harvard four years before young Barack was T-Ball eligible.
In the Obama rabbit hole, things do seem to get progressively curiouser and curiouser.
The best argument I can see for liberals to oppose it is this:

Another possible argument is the possibility for a “patchwork” of state laws resulting in a violation of equal protection under the 14th Amendment.
He already claimed exemption from any requirement by means of the 14th! True .. but as legally grounded as any thing else he has done.
My point is this — any Judge or official in charge of placement on the ballot could have required and still can require proof of a reasonable sort. In fact ANY Supreme Court Judge could reach out and grab this case with powers of compelling testimony, as could any member of any Federal legislative committee.
It is likely, imo, that a local prosecutor might give over the case — that being allegations of fraud, and other crimes — so that a local Grand Jury could brings hear and compel testimony.
All it takes is Courage. The law is already there.
What is HERE, NOW, is tyranny. A common form of tyranny, one that exists only because officials and judges — save only Colonel Lakin — have no bit of courage.
Here you go BP1.
