Governor of Hawaii, Neil Abercrombie has been making waves lately, making claims about Barack Obama's original long-form birth certificate. He had claimed that he knew for a fact that it existed, and that he was going to use his powers as Governor to produce it. He was going to put an end to all the controversy and show up those stupid "Birthers" for the idiots all of Obama's supporters believe they are.
Today, 1/26/11, a story surfaced that Gov. Abercrombie had admittd to a journolist friend of his, Mike Evans, that there are no official birth records for the President in Hawaii. This story was linked on the Drudge report. Suddenly it appears, Gov. Abercombie has egg on his face. No birth certificate?!? Could the Birthers actually be onto something?
But wait! Several hours after the story appeared, a chastened Mike Evans now claims that he never spoke to Gov. Abercrombie about this. Hmmmm. If that's the case, why did it take nearly 6 hours for the so-called correction to appear? Curiouser and curiouser....
The bottom line is this, and I say this with due respect: Gov. Abercrombie needs to put up, or shut up. If he has access to the documents in question, produce them. Otherwise, he needs to apologize to the millions of people he has maligned with the soubriquet "Birthers".
Well, Governor? We're all waiting.
