Hawaii's New Gov Set To Torpedo Birthers - L.A. Times Piles On
Here's The Right Side Of It ^ | December 26, 2010 | John L. Work

With thanks to Gates of Vienna

Hawaii’s leftist Governor-elect, Neil Abercrombie, says he is going to “torpedo” the birther conspiracy theories that question the Constitutional eligibility of Barack Hussein Obama to hold office. And by golly, he’s found a couple of willing partners in the major media to help him with the cover-up – The Los Angeles Times’ Michael Mimoli and Ken Dilanian. Their distortion-filled coverage of Abercrombie’s noble quest to keep the Big Question unanswered was published on Christmas Eve:

http://www.latimes.com/news/politics/la-na-obama-birthers-20101224,0,3744847.story

“Reporting from Honolulu —

Neil Abercrombie knew Barack Obama’s parents when the future president was born here in 1961, and he has been aggravated by the so-called birther movement, which alleges Obama was not born in the United States and thus should be expelled from office…”

The so-called birther movement does not say that Obama was or was not born within the United States. It points to the secrecy and non-disclosure of all of his documented history that could answer the nagging question as to his origins. The birthers want him to release that history for public inspection, as John McCain did during 2008. Obama has released nothing – except for an on-line computer-generated image that would not even get your kid into Little League Baseball.

“…What bothers me is that some people who should know better are trying to use this for political reasons,” said Abercrombie, 72. “Maybe I’m the only one in the country that could look you right in the eye right now and tell you, ‘I was here when that baby was born.’ “…”

Really, Mr. Abercrombie? The Constitution is not political? Obama’s paternal step-grandmother says he was born in Mombassa, Kenya, and that she was right there in the delivery room. Does that prove where he was born? No. And neither does what Neil Abercrombie says about it. There’s only one way for this to be resolved – let’s see the original long-form birth certificate. And while we’re at it, how about all of those school records, college transcripts, Columbia senior thesis, financial aid applications, college transfer records, adoption records, name-change records, passport records, selective service records, Harvard Law Review records – all of it. This is supposed to be Mr. Transparency, after all.

“…One of Abercrombie’s aides said the governor is voicing the frustration of many Hawaiians who continue to be troubled by the rumors, which they see as emblematic of the view that Hawaiians are not Americans in the same way as those who live in the continental United States…”

Now, that is clever. We on the mainland must consider Hawaiians to be less than Americans because we’d like to see the President’s bona-fides. That’s a good one. But, here comes the biggest lie in the story:

“…Ample evidence has been produced to discredit the “birther” movement, so in the view of the White House, the Democratic governor’s comments are reviving an issue that most people see as resolved…”

Nothing has been resolved. The only evidence that has been brought forth from the White House is derision, name-calling, ridicule – and belittling them who would like a straightforward answer to the quite rational question: If Mr. Obama is Constitutionally eligible to serve as President, please release his entire documented history, so that we can see all of it. What is he hiding from us?

This is just more liberal ridicule of anyone who wants to know the truth. This matters because only a natural born citizen can be president.

I think there is definitely something being hidden. Obama may well have been born in Hawaii, however, it’s possible the birth certificate shows someone other than Barack Obama, Sr. as his father. Or the father is not noted at all, as happened on the birth certificate for John Edwards’ girlfriend’s baby. Or the birth certificate shows that his mother and Barack Sr. were not married. There is something on that birth certificate that Obama doesn’t want the world to know.

Maybe his name on the certificate is not Barack Obama. Maybe he took that name later as an homage to his African roots. He was known as Barry up through high school, not going by the name “Barack”.

There is something Obama wants to hide. He has paid lawyers millions to block release and investigations of this matter. He has reasons for doing so.

Poor Hawaii. A communist government. That state is in for huge tax hikes. Profits will be outlawed soon.

Best,

IOW, the ink has finally dried on the new and improved BC though it still won’t make him a NBC.

Yep, it’s also possible that the birth certificate does not exist. Anything is possible. But to the liberals, this subject is a joke, subject to ridicule, in the manner preached by Obama’s hero, Saul Alinsky. Rather than discuss the subject at hand, liberals can only ridicule anyone who wonders about the truth.

I wonder if Ambercrombie can tell us why Bam Bam’s Social Security number is from Connecticut?

Ample evidence has been produced to discredit the “birther” movement

How's that new Hawaiian "vexatious requestor bill" working out?

“Maybe I’m the only one in the country that could look you right in the eye right now and tell you, ‘I was here when that baby was born.”

No, you're not the only one. Millions of people can do that. My mom was here when that baby was born. It doesn't answer the question.

The only person on the face of the earth who claims he ever saw Sr. and Ann together and now he's suddenly governor of the very state that's holding the long form. Yeah, right. It's another one of those, "I question the timing" things alright.

Oh, yeah, and his first act as governor he fired everyone who had or might have had the least bit of authority over the BC.

Ample evidence? Hell, NOTHING that could be admitted to a court of law has EVER been submitted!
