For the second time in recent months, Hawaii Gov. Neil Abercrombie has created a controversy in the state's Department of Health, which holds the key to outstanding questions about Barack Obama's birth. As WND reported, Abercrombie earlier created a stir by announcing plans to release additional information on Obama's birth from the state's archives, but then failed to follow through. Then last month, Abercrombie asked for the resignation of Dr. Neal Palafox, a well-respected physician he had chosen to replace Chiyome Fukino, who had served as guardian of Barack Obama's birth certificate when she was head of the Hawaii Department...

State Senate Minority Leader Sam Slom has urged Gov. Neil Abercrombie to provide additional information regarding the governor's decision to ask Dr. Neal Palafox to withdraw his nomination as director of the state Department of Health.

Neil Abercrombie's office said he asked Dr. Neal Palafox to withdraw his nomination to lead the state Department of Health, contradicting his administration's previous claim that Palafox withdrew himself. Abercrombie spokeswoman Donalyn Dela Cruz confirmed it was the governor and not Palafox who asked for the withdrawal.

The health nominee for the Hawaii Department of Health withdrew the nomination. Read the article: www.staradvertiser.com/news/hawaiinews/20110127_health_nominee_pulls_out.html.  Dr. Neal Palafox withdrew his nomination by Gov. Neil Abercrombie because he said that he was blindsided by an investigation into his billing practices.  That is the external reason, which is acceptable.  However, in every case like this, there is an internal, below-the-surface reason, which is usually the real reason.  Reading between the lines, I hypothesize that since this position has become a very "hot potato" because the Department of Health is where usurper POTUS Barack Hussein Obama's "real" birth certificate supposed to have...
