Celebrity Journalist: I Never Spoke to Hawaii Gov About Obama Birth Certificate

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.”

Hmmm....seems Mike Evans received a phone call.

Was he told that they would implement their global warming CO2 reduction program with him?

So what? Was he on drugs when he did the KQRS interview? You can’t just drop a bomb shell like that and then the next day say, ya know what? Never mind.

Well, I guess you can if you are a “celebrity” journalist. What ever the hell that means.

[TexasPatriot1]

So the cover up begins.

[FroggyTheGremlim]

Wasn’t there a recording of the radio interview?

[blackdog]

But I heard him say it? WTF?

Constitutional Crisis: Supreme Court should order Hawaii to produce the Long Form - period.

“Mr. Evans, you never really talked to Gov Abercrombie did you, right? Cause that's a real nice body you got there, be a real shame if somethin’ were to happen to it...yeah, it would be a real shame to see that nice body all messed up.”

[DallasDeb]

Hmmm, wonder how much this cost obamma.
