Moe Lane of RedState, Drudge "reverse race-bait" Hawaii senator pick (Abercrombie, Inouye) - 12/27/12

Moe Lane of RedState and Matt Drudge are trying to create racial controversy where it didn't exist. Neither are doing those who oppose leftwingers playing the race card any favors.

Gary Tuchman misleads about Obama certificate (CNN, "Birthers") - 04/26/11

Gary Tuchman works for CNN, thus we know at least three things about him: he's going to mislead about immigration, he's going to mislead about trade, and he's going to mislead about the Obama citizenship issue. Examples of the last are found in "CNN investigation: Obama born in U.S." (link). To start, consider this sentence from the article: Obama's 2008 campaign produced a certification of live birth, a document legally accepted as confirmation of a birth and routinely used for official purposes. A certification of live birth ("COLB") is in many cases legally acceptable proof of birth [1]....

Hawaii gov Abercrombie now says he saw Obama a few days after he was born - 04/20/11

The strange case of Hawaii governor Neil Abercrombie keeps rolling along with him now saying that he saw Barack Obama a few days after he was born and also that he saw Obama's parents bringing Baby Obama to social events. His new statements don't exactly sync up with his prior statements. Rather than repeating myself, see this, this, and this for the backstory and his various confusing statements and actions. His latest story is here: Hawaii News Now caught up to Governor Neil Abercrombie and asked him to clarify what he meant when he said he was "there." [note: see the full quote in the...

Did Hawaii gov Abercrombie lie about seeing baby Obama? (1/09 interview) - 01/24/11

The strange tale of Hawaii governor Neil Abercrombie and Barack Obama's birth certificate continues with a video from early 2009 that might contradict Abercrombie's claim to have seen Obama as a baby. See the video below, and here's the transcript: At the end of 2010, Hawaii governor Neil Abercrombie said he was going to prove that Obama was born in Hawaii... He said "I was here when that baby was born." But, questioned by the NYT, he admitted that he only meant that he'd only seen Baby Obama with his parents at social events... However, it's not clear whether Obama's parents ever lived...

Hawaii governor Abercrombie won't release supposed Obama birth certificate - 01/21/11

At the end of December 2010, newly-elected Hawaii governor Neil Abercrombie said he'd try to find and release Obama's original birth certificate which is supposedly on file with that state. Then a few days ago he said he'd found a "recording of the birth" that was "written down". Now, he says he can't release the (supposed) certificate (link): Democratic Gov. Neil Abercrombie will end his quest to prove President Barack Obama was born in Hawaii because it's against state law to release private documents, his office said Friday. State Attorney General David Louie told the governor he can't...

Not credible: Neil Abercrombie misleads, now can't seem to find Obama's original birth certificate - 01/19/11

[UPDATE: Now he won't release it] In late December, 2010, newly elected Hawaii governor Neil Abercrombie said this (link): "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.' " ..."More than demonization — this is self-evisceration of politics," said Abercrombie, who raised the birthplace issue unprompted during the interview. "Empires fall and countries fall when that takes the place of discourse." Then, a later interview with Abercrombie included this (link): Mr. Abercrombie, 72, said that although he did...

Did Hawaii governor Linda Lingle verify that Barack Obama was born there? - 08/06/09

Various mainstream media sources have claimed that Hawaii governor Linda Lingle verified that Barack Obama was born in her state. At post time, that claim very strongly appears to be false. I've been trying to obtain a clear statement confirming that she never verified that Obama was born there from her office for over a week without success, and this post will be updated if they finally reply.

Obama's "birth hospital" covers up letter he sent (Kapiolani, Neil Abercrombie) - 07/11/09

The Obama citizenship issue just gets weirder and weirder. As previously discussed, Snopes, Wikipedia, and Obama himself have all given differing accounts of which hospital he was born in.

Citizenship Promotion Act of 2007 (Barack Obama) - 03/09/07

On Wednesday, Sen. Barack Obama introduced the "Citizenship Promotion Act of 2007". This important story was overshadowed by the most likely unimportant story about his stock holdings [1]. The CPA could be described as a "New Democrats Initiative/Funding Source for Possibly Foreign-Linked Pro-Illegal Immigration Groups" bill, and perhaps some reporters should have asked Obama and his co-horts about that.
