What is your explanation for Gov. Abercrombie's broken promise to shut down birthers for good and move forward regardless of administration's wishes to prove that Obama was born in a hospital in Honolulu.

Why did he back down after such bombastic announcements in major media outlets CNN, ABB, NBC...?
After all, according to his words, after being elected as Gov of Hawaii,”discrediting anti-Obama birthers was his top priority”?

According to ABC article (Dec 24, 2010): “Now Abercrombie has an office of his own — he became governor of Hawaii on Dec. 6. — and he intends to do something about it. What, exactly, is unclear. But in an interview this week at the state Capitol, he left little doubt that torpedoing the conspiracy theorists was a priority.”

Please pay attention to his choice of using strong words illustrating determination to resolve birther issue.

Now please explain to me: Why did Abercrombie refuse to publish the original birth index information? Hawaii DoH has complete authority to publish this information. Why is this information still hidden from public?

AFAIK, the Birth index from that time period has already been seen and had it's own day in the sun as being the Birther’s latest magic bullet. When it got them nowhere, they moved on to their next fixation. That was back in 2010, I think. The Birthers have gone down so many dead ends that it is hard to keep track of them.

Abercrombie stated that he saw the birth record, and that it was there. He is however prevented by state law from disclosing it or information in it. He apparently shot his mouth off prior to understanding this limitation of the governor's office. It's the same limitation that kept his GOP predecessor (you know, the one that spoke at the RNC convention in 2008) from disclosing it as well.

But Birthers like to skip that part. It skews the meme.
