A celebrity journalist now claims he misspoke when he said last week that Hawaii’s governor told him he was unable to find President Barack Obama’s original birth certificate after a search of state and hospital archives.
Mike Evans told FoxNews.com on Wednesday he was remorseful and embarrassed that he appeared to have given the impression that he had discussed the search for Obama’s birth certificate with Hawaii Gov. Neil Abercrombie.
Evans, who says he has been a close friend of Abercrombie since the 1980s, appeared on Minnesota’s KQRS radio last week and said he’d been told by the governor himself that Obama’s birth certificate was nowhere to be found. Evans told KQRS on Jan. 20:
"Yesterday, talking to Neil's office, Neil says that he searched everywhere using his powers as governor ..... there is no Barack Obama birth certificate in Hawaii. Absolutely no proof at all that he was born in Hawaii."
But that’s no longer Evans’ story.
“Only this I can you tell you is 100 percent fact: that Neil never told me there was no birth certificate,” Evans told Fox News. “I never talked to him.”

Somebody got to him. His statements on the record were uneqivocal. There is no way he misspoke.
LOL Talk about spinnin so fast the earth stands still... LOL
This was the trial balloons of all trial balloons. The Mothership Balloon.
Oh boy did that sucker float! It doesn’t change the fact that millions of people now know about this issue in a way they did not less than a week ago.
That is fantastic! As they say, there is no such thing as bad press. Well unless of course it lands ya in jail, in which case, bad is just bad. This is BAD for Obama.
It gives me a big happy!
Evans sounds very nervous and extremely careful how he recalls his interview with the Governor! Great interview!
You are right on. Looking at the first statement we see a rather long account of a sympathetic friend of Abercrombie disclosing an embarrassing fact. Throughout the entire conversation there was no retraction or doubt given as the accuracy of the fact. If the information was false in the first place, why would a close friend of Abercrombie screw his friend with the false account of what happened? If you go back and listen to the entire conversation and understand the long time, close relationship of the two, it is clear that Evans was reporting correctly the first time, but failed to understand the significance of the facts he was reporting. If the truth be know, I bet Evans and Abercrombie chat on a regular basis. As Evans says he just picked up the phone and called Abercrombie’s office. Is this someone who hasn’t talked to Abercrombie in two or more years. Then along come the Obama goons and he is forced to lie to save himself.
I’m on the phone so I’ll have to listen to it later.
The “I mis-spoke” defense for Mike Evans is hard to swallow. If he indeed “mis-spoke”, he likely did it thirty-something times, with each of his call-ins to the various stations where he’s syndicated.
I heard him tell the same story that day on KLBJ in Austin to their local talent. He left no ambiguity that he HAD spoken to the governor and the governor had personally told him it wasn’t there.
I figure he heard from his good friend the gov again and the conversation began with words beginning with the letters WTF.
Hope this guy doesn’t wake up to find a horse’s head in his bed.
The fix is in. Big time.
But good luck to people who want to keep trying — I hope you succeed.
Is there original audio of or was he just quoted?
That’s not what he said in the radio interview. On Jan 20 Evans said that he talked to Abercrummy the day before.
Audio posted upthread.
Ok, this is bizzare to say the least. I listened to the interview and he couldn’t have made it more clear. There was no doubt what the entire interview was.
You're right. That is the only fact we have.

SHEESH! He's on tape SAYING it.
Who is Mike Evans and why should we care? In fact, who the HELL is Abercrombe and what happened to all his WWF-like promises?? /sarc
Quite poossible. Not that Obama is HIDING anything at all, OF COURSE...
Release the Phone Records!
............................
There certainly must be a log of who enters and exits the Governor’s mansion. Perhaps check those records as well to determine if he was at all present during that time.
