Answers sought on Palafox issue(Hawaiian Senator Quizzes Gov Abercrombie)

State Senate Minority Leader Sam Slom has urged Gov. Neil Abercrombie to provide additional information regarding the governor's decision to ask Dr. Neal Palafox to withdraw his nomination as director of the state Department of Health.

Abercrombie asked Palafox to withdraw his nomination in January but has not disclosed the reason. A television news report, citing unnamed sources, said Palafox was involved in a medical reimbursement investigation.

In a letter to Abercrombie on Friday, Slom (R, Diamond Head-Hawaii Kai) said he has spoken with federal sources that say Palafox is not under investigation. The senator had no information about a potential state investigation, and the state Attorney General's Office has declined to comment on Palafox.

Palafox has said he was not aware of any investigation.

"If he is indeed innocent, let's clear this matter up and allow the Senate to consider him for the position," Slom wrote. "The Health Department has a number of problems and strong leadership is required."

Asked Tuesday whether he thought Palafox was treated fairly, Slom said: "No, I don't. From what I know now? No, I don't."

Donalyn Dela Cruz, a spokeswoman for Abercrombie, declined to comment. The governor is still searching for a replacement for Palafox.

Palafox, meanwhile, has returned to his post as chairman of family medicine and community health at the University of Hawaii-Manoa John A. Burns School of Medicine.

Tina Shelton, a spokeswoman for the medical school, said the school's dean, Dr. Jerris Hedges, spoke with Palafox and found no reason not to allow him to return to his post. Palafox had taken a leave of absence from the school while he was pursuing the nomination.

"The dean has spoken with Neal and his associates and none of them have been able to identify what the concerns might be," Shelton said.

“Neil is a small man, about 5 feet 1 inch in height, with a huge ego,” said Slom. “He thought he could come into office and do Obama a great favor by putting an end to Obama’s birth controversy.”

He is also a dirtbag POS and the fact that Hawaii voters elected him into office , blindly closing their eyes to all the decades of rubbish he brought with him , completely and utterly discredits them ( those that voted for him)
This despicable electorate should be forever stripped of their right to vote and placed in camps .

Who was Obama's mother?

Obviously, the woman who claimed to be Obama's mother, the daughter Dunham, must have visited a doctor---either a private doctor or a doctor in a clinic---a few times during her "pregnancy", but as far as I know, no doctor, nor family members of a doctor nor friends of a doctor who saw Dunham during her pregnancy have publicly come forward and provided concrete proof that Dunham visited such and such a doctor.

Does anyone even have the name of a Hawaii family doctor who saw Dunham before she was even pregnant? As far as I know, we don't have the name of any such family doctor. Why is that?

My point is this: Without seeing concrete evidence that pregnant Dunham saw a doctor in Hawaii and without examining Obama'a long form Hawaii birth certificate, I can only conclude that Obama was NOT born in a Hawaii hospital as Obama's supporters claim.

Hawaii controversy over birth certificate guardian

Senator challenges governor on firing of state’s health department director

excerpt:

“The latest development comes as well-connected sources in Hawaii are warning that certain government officials in the state have been contemplating releasing fraudulent birth records for Obama in the run-up to the 2012 election. At least 11 states are currently considering legislation that would require future presidential candidates to prove constitutional eligibility by proving they are “natural born citizens.”

Bad things are going on with the states considering legislation:

He’s a small man in terms of character and conscience, too.

Don't get me wrong on this: I too believe it highly unlikely that Obama was born in Hawaii, and highly unlikely that he was born anywhere in the United States and its possessions.

But Stanley Ann not seeing a doctor on Hawaii neither before nor during her pregnancy doesn't really have much weight in establishing that fact. Not every pregnant woman, especially back then, went for prenatal medical care, especially if that woman happened to be a teenager, likely unwed, carrying an interracial child, who was new to the state and came from a Red family background. All those factors individually reduce the likelihood that she would seek prenatal medical care.
