Abercrombie asked nominee to withdraw
Doctor says he doesnt know the reason for request
January 29, 2011
HONOLULU (AP) - Gov. Neil Abercrombie's office said he asked Dr. Neal Palafox to withdraw his nomination to lead the state Department of Health, contradicting his administration's previous claim that Palafox withdrew himself.
Abercrombie spokeswoman Donalyn Dela Cruz confirmed it was the governor and not Palafox who asked for the withdrawal.
Dela Cruz declined to discuss the reason for Palafox's abrupt departure, and Palafox has said he doesn't know what led to his Wednesday dismissal after a month as interim Health Department director.

A cynic would reply that the Hawaii Department of Health represents one of the weakest points in the chain of non-evidence for Soetero aka Obama's non-citizenship.
An optimist would reply something to the effect that these are not the droids you are looking for (and wait patiently for you to forget about the entire thing).
Note that this must all have come out late on a Friday afternoon to be buried published in the Saturday news.
In Maui.
It seems that the Honolulu Star did not publish this AP news release, so maybe it is too early to ask how it would play in Peoria :-).
Another dog not barking...
LOL.
But watch out, depictions of Br’er Rabbit and the Tar Baby can get one in trouble.
Palfox refused to fabriate an Obama COLB?
Or did he refuse to alter Obamas sparse documentation, what ever it is?
Buahahahahahahahahahahah!
If you want to see Obamas birth documentation and name change record from Hawaii, just ask Nancy Pelosi.. She has had them for some time, and has been holding them over Obamas head for 3 years .
Wouldn't be the first time I created a little controversy...
Tome to get the man to talk.
I am willing to bet that he knows the truth about Obama’s BC issue and he is being silenced.
imagine that .. a man with integrity ..
could it be???
ROTFL! Joe, I nominate you as FReeper of the year with those graphics.
LOL...I had to stuff that book full of bacon just to get my dog to play with it!
Here is a speculative inside story. Apparently Abercrombie was still under the impression in December 2010 when he took over the Governor's office that Soetero aka Obama was on the level with him about having a Hawaii long form birth certificate when Abercrombie received Obama's letter to him to that effect in January 2009 and he read it at the Kalipolani Hospital that same month. So Abercrombie announced to the world when he became governor that he would dispel lingering all doubts about Obama's Hawaiian birth-- why not, since as Governor he would be in the ideal place to command the dispelling of the doubts. At that time (December 2010), Abercrombie also announced nominations for his state cabinet including the HDOH Director, Palafox. At the time there being no particular evident need from Abercrombie's point of view to have a corrupt politician in place at the HDOH, Palafox was not vetted by Abercrombie or the HDP as a go-along-get-along type of official. When Abercrombie struck the Obama birth certificate iceberg in January, he needed a go-along-get-along fall guy to bail him out by any means necessary to help him not look like a complete idiot by trusting Soetero aka Obama in January 2009 in public and then announcing that he would validate himself and Soetero aka Obama in public in December 2010. He asked Palafox to provide political cover for him, and Paladox refused to sacrifice his integrity. So Abercrombie, not willing to take any more heat in the press by formerly asking his own nominee Palafox to step down within a month of him nominating the guy, instead started a rumor campaign against Palafox in hopes of getting Palafox to resign of his own accord. Palafox did not take the hint since he felt he had done nothing wrong, so Abercrombie bit the bullet and formally asked him to resign.
This could be evidence of very sloppy political vetting by the HDP. The first requirement of political underlings is that they be, if not corrupt already, at least go-along-get-along. Evidently Palafox somehow escaped that fundamental requirement when he was vetted for the HDOH Directorship.
It is also evidence of very sloppy planning and thinking by Abercrombie. How could he have ever hoped to keep something like his decision to can Palafox a secret in Honolulu?
All of the above is entirely speculative based on Occam's Razor reasoning. I would cheerfully yield to a more likely explanation should some such more likely explanation surface.
My husband got a notice 2 days ago from Nebraska saying he may or may not have to report his tax refund from last year on this year’s return and he may or may not be investigated if he does or does not report it.
Wading through the verbiage, I figured every taxpayer who got a refund should get the same letter. But this is the first year we’ve gotten anything like it.
Sure shook him up for a while though.
That sounds like the MO here too. The State AG has already lied about Obama’s records not being able to be disclosed. Just from that you know his integrity is compromised.
Now he’s not telling whether Polafax is being investigated or not - as if it’s just something he’s holding over the guy’s head, leaking something to the media without telling him directly.
Do they have to tell somebody if they’re under investigation - like to make sure they don’t destroy records or something?
That could well be.
Abercrombie knows he did not see SAD and BHO Sr with the baby at social events. So he lied on that for sure. But he could have thought either that Obama really was born in Hawaii or that Grandma Dunham had been able to get a BC that claimed a HI birth. Fukino’s statements probably led him to believe that the bases were covered.
In Dec when he came out swinging at “birthers” the article said he was mad about potential state eligibility bills and said that Bill Posey et al should have just asked HIM where Obama was born, rather than requiring official documentation.
Obama’s alleged letter to Kapiolani was “read” by Abercrombie on video and was not what actually ended up on the letter. Either he was ad-libbing from the get-go, can’t read, or the letter was his brainstorm and Obama signed the paper for him or else he forged Obama’s signature.
(Aside) Do hospitals keep copies of actual birth certificates? If so, do they keep them longer than they keep medical records?
In any event, Abercrombie’s discrepancies and missteps are highly suspicious - including lying about seeing BHO and SAD with the baby at social events, his office lying about Palafox not being asked to resign, and his friend suddenly lying to change the story that Abercrombie told him he had gone into the hospitals with a search warrant and hadn’t found a BC. Those discrepancies and lies should land an investigation.
Not holding my breath, but those with their eyes open can see this train wreck in progress.
Anonymous emails...citing anonymous sources...
Hmmmmmmmm... I call BS. You've got to naive to believe this crap. It is ginned up BS cover for AberCrummie to get Palafox removed.
Ever see the movie Absence of Malice? Apparently, AberCommie and crew have:
Mike Evans, Neal Palafox, Neil Abercrombie, and the HI AG should all be deposed and their communications and phone records subpoenaed. If they’re lying about this stuff it’s probably to cover up other stuff they’re lying about. Somebody should get to the bottom of it.
Sounds like a job for an enterprising Honolulu DA to convene a grand jury.
I suspect that if Honolulu had any enterprising DA’s Hawaii wouldn’t be in the shape they’re in. Nor the USA.
Did you see this one? I think there’s more to this than meets the eye.
Is there a "rogue" federal prosecutor in the state Hawaii who would go against Obama ?
How about this lady?
"Florence T. Nakakuni has been the United States Attorney for the District of Hawaii since September 30, 2009.
Ms. Nakakuni has been employed by the United States Attorney's Office in Hawaii as an Assistant U.S. Attorney since 1985, and she most recently had served as the Chief of the Organized Crime and Narcotics Section, Criminal Division, for the past four years prior to her appointment as U.S. Attorney.
Ms. Nakakuni was previously employed as counsel at the Navy Office of General Counsel, Pearl Harbor, and as an attorney-advisor at the Office of Information and Privacy Appeals, U.S. Department of Justice. She has also been a law clerk for Associate Justice Thomas Ogata of the Hawaii Supreme Court.
Ms. Nakakuni has been a member of the Hawaii bar since 1978. She graduated from the University of Hawaii-Manoa in 1975, and the University of Hawaii William S. Richardson School of Law in 1978."

Will the Republican Congress do anything?
>I would cheerfully yield to a more likely explanation should some such more likely explanation surface.<
No need, it makes PERFECT sense to me.
I think that Palafox has the real information on Barry. I also think that Abercrombie drank too much kool-aid, believed Sotoro and that is why he made the statements that he did.
When he found out the truth, he looked for cover.
As you said, Palafox had too much integrity to just lie and cover for him.
This just helped prove the point that Obama is hiding something very damaging. People are no longer looking at birthers as nut cases, but more and ore as people who had it right all along.
I think that Palafox needs to talk. I bet that if he has knowledge it can be brought out of him one way or another. It needs to be brought to light especially after the Lakin incident. bad enough that Sotoro is destroying the country day by day, most of that can be undone. But a patriot can not be given back the time he spends in a jail cell for doing the right thing.
I hope it all comes out and these people FRY for doing this to so many people.
