Those in charge in Hawaii have no respect for the Constitution or the people of the United States. They will not cooperate unless under extreme pressure.

"Obama was born in Honolulu on Aug. 4, 1961. Birthers contend Obama was not born in the United States and thus not eligible to be president. The state released a copy of Obama's long-form birth certificate last year, but the release did not satisfy many birthers. "

Nice of them to post the conclusion of what the investigators are looking into for us...no need for them to continue, I guess

I fully support Sheriff Joe in his mission, but exactly what are they going to do this time? Say “pretty please with sugar on top?”

I'm just going to address the most glaring lie in this article...

The state released a copy of Obama's long-form birth certificate last year...
"The state" has never done any such thing.

I guess the hope is that people to overlook this blatant lie.

Shoot!

I guess the hope is that people to will overlook this blatant lie.

What? More “Birthers?” Heavens, what’s this world coming to? Wonder if they’ll run into Trump’s guys. Maybe Inspector Clouseau.

Hilariously, a WaPo flack has written a postscript to the WaPo Editorial Board editorial from yesterday claiming that the comments posted to the editorial show “the birther movement is dead as a doornail”!

PostScript: New birther conspiracies born from an editorial

By Rachel Manteuffel

In an editorial today, The Post excoriated Arizona Secretary of State Ken Bennett (R) for pandering to the lunatic fringe of his party by keeping the absurd “birther” conspiracy alive. Bennett is threatening to strike the president’s name from the state ballot this fall unless Hawaii coughs up the president’s birth certificate. (Again.) The Post called this “ballot buffoonery.”

Good news: Judging from the thousands of robust comments to this editorial, the birther movement is dead as a doornail. Few readers of any political stripe seem to give it any credence at all anymore.
