Hawaii’s Governor Takes On ‘Birthers’

Hawaii’s Governor Takes On ‘Birthers’ By SHERYL GAY STOLBERG

HONOLULU — Hawaii Gov. Neil Abercrombie, who befriended President Obama’s parents when they were university students here, has been in office for less than three weeks. But he is so incensed over the “birthers” — conspiracy theorists who assert Mr. Obama was born in Kenya and challenge his right to be president — that he is already seeking ways to change Hawaiian law or regulation to allow him to release additional proof that the president was born in a hospital here in 1961.

“It’s an insult to his mother and to his father, and I knew his mother and father — they were my friends, and I have an emotional interest in that,” Gov. Abercrombie said in a telephone interview late Thursday night. “It’s an emotional insult, it is disrespectful to the president, it is disrespectful to the office.”

Mr. Abercrombie, who represented Honolulu in Congress until leaving Washington to run for governor, said he has initiated conversations with his attorney general and his health secretary about how he can make public more explicit documentation of Mr. Obama’s birth on Aug. 4, 1961, at Kapi’olani Maternity and Gynecological Hospital in Honolulu. He said he has done so of his own accord, without any request from the president or the White House, which declined to comment.

“He’s a big boy, he can take sticks and stones, but there’s no reason on Earth to have the memory of his parents insulted by people who’s motivation is solely political,” Mr. Abercrombie said. “Let’s put this particular canard to rest.”

“He’s a big boy, he can take sticks and stones,

Apparently he can not cough up a $15.00 long form.

Not sticks, not stones, THE LONG FORM.

Not a "copy" of it, not a scan.

Lets have the real form because after hiding it through THIS amount of questioning and refused requests the normal American people do believe something serious is being hidden.

Those questions will not go away, no amount of ridiculing and prosecuting the requestors is going to make a damn bit of difference.

If unresolved the questions will continue after his term of office. There will be no end to the investigation of this omission on the part of Øbama and his circle of protectors and defenders. It will continue on and on until some day someone will slip, someone will get stepped on and want revenge, something will happen and the proof will be revealed despite fed-gov spooks around the world gathering bammy’s documentation for “safekeeping.”

It will happen and bammy will be “outed.” Perhaps literally.

Every member of the Supreme Court, every member
of congress, every member of the Joint Chiefs, most members of the DOD, CIA, FBI, Secret Service and
state run media, ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, PBS, NPR, MSNBC, Fox and print news, knows that Barack Hussein Obama
does NOT meet Article II – Section I constitutional requirements for the office he holds. By his own biography, there is NO way he can pass the test. The hard evidence is so far beyond overwhelming, it is ridiculous.

(snip)
But not ONE member of America’s most powerful people will dare confront Obama and his anti-American cabal
on the subject. The Constitution does NOT stand.

(snip)
Half of the people you expect to stop this insanity
are quiet co-conspirators in the silent coup.
The other half is paralyzed by fear, motivated
only by political self-preservation.

(Snip)
Americans keep asking what they can do because
they see that none of their leaders are doing
anything to stop the demise of their beloved country. It’s the right question, because those leaders
are NOT going to stop this thing.

Unless he is lying, this means there IS additional information, and that this additional information is only withheld because Obama refuses to release it.

Further, the witholding of this information is an emotional insult to the family.

So, why is Obama emotionally insulting his family by refusing to release this information? It's entirely in his hands -- The Governor can't release it, the people asking the questions can't get answers -- it's all Obama.

Anyway, if Obama could care less about the reputation of his mother, why should we care?

The problem is it takes a long time to ginn up fake documents. The friend of a marxist American hating seditionists. Yes Gov. you are just the man to govern a state of the united states.

And...Rush and the other yappers **KNOW** that Obama is not a natural born citizen. Rush will occasionally take a pot shot at it, ( as if the Constitution is a joke) and the others have ignored it or insulted those with concerns.

Of all the people who have ignored or trashed the motivations of the birthers, I hold the conservative media in the most contempt. They are entertainers and care more about their paychecks than the Constitution. They are posers.

By the way...I am most "cranky" about Ann Coulter. She is despicable!

It’s not his citizenship the President is hiding. It’s the same reason he won’t release details of his annual physicals. Obama was born a hermaphrodite.

Did he go on to say, but not reported here, that he and Obama's anti-U.S. parents threw rocks at U.S. military guys and even planned to fire-bomb military buses? He didn't? Just the usual "anti-war," pro-Viet Cong spitting at and cursing U.S. soldiers. I see.

I hope Abercommie's "anti-birther campaign" makes states pass eligibility laws -- it will be absolutely fascinating to watch Obama lawyers (mostly taxpayer funded, I bet) scramble to find ways around those laws.

Obama could end virtually all the controversy by releasing the long form BC, we little people have to do it..

All we are saying♩♪♫
is give release a chance♩♪♫

I figured they had it complete when little bammy was there back in 2008, less than one month after the election and they had the total power outage. It lasted all night. A perfect opportunity for some “filing adjustments.”

Point is moot: Obama’s father is not a U.S. citizen, hence Obama is plainly ineligible as per THE LAW.
That’s incontrovertible, it is what the law says, both his parents must be citizens of this country.
BOTH.

But still, spending millions of dollars to hide his longform is highly suspect.
It is the activity of someone with something to hide.

It will be real fun when suddenly they have a document that covers the blanks.
Gee, it only took _ years to come up with that?
The biggest smoking gun is no hospital in HI is claiming he was born there.
That is enough evidence to prove he was not.
I mean, somewhere should’nt there be a doctor or nurse or distant relative who say’s, “my dad/mom/aunt/relative was there at the birth of our President!”
Nope, nobody/nada/zip.

I wonder if Abercrombie smoked pot with Marshall Davis and Stanley Dunham too?

There is a difference in having suspicions about something because of a lack of evidence to prove otherwise, i.e. "birthers" as opposed to asserting unequivocally as fact that which is unfounded and flies in the face of all known evidence, i.e. "truthers."

Yet how bazaar, (and additionally suspicious) that the MSM tries to cloud the distinction. Add to that the ease with which Obama could solve people's legitimate doubts and yet refuses. . . at extreme high cost;. . .well, you have some serious smoke.

Actually, in as much as the “birther” story is old, the one piece of new news, to me, in this article, is the curious fact that the present governor knew Obama’s parents, years ago.

Does anyone know the governor’s political history. Is there more of a tie-in with fellow-traveler Obama than random events in his & Obama’s parents’ college days in Hawaii?
