Obama Citizenship

HI Gov Can?t Receive Obama?s Birth Certificate ? Without Permission

By Phil

In what should be a non-story for those of you who, like me, have been following the eligibility saga from 2008, Democrat Hawaiian Governor Neil Abercrombie apparently found out from his State’s Attorney General that even he, the Governor, cannot retrieve specific vital records from the Department of Health without showing a “tangible interest” in doing so.

I have to wonder why he didn’t consult the State’s chief counsel before making the pursuit, but perhaps — like the vast majority of Americans, even myself, to some degree — the Governor is simply ignorant of vital records laws and the lack of eligibility enforcement in this country.

This hasn’t stopped radio personality Rush Limbaugh from asking questions, pointing out that “they still can’t prove” that Mr. Obama was born in Hawaii, and that the President himself ought to get behind the initiative and allow his records to be observed.

There are competing theories:

1. Mr. Obama was born in Hawaii (British citizenship being an important ancillary to this idea) but he’s playing politics with his birth in an attempt to make right-wingers like Mr. Limbaugh look bad;
2. Mr. Obama wasn’t born in Hawaii, certain people (like Gov. Abercrombie) have been blissfully ignorant about the idea, and now the President needs to find a way to keep the issue quiet (by not giving permission for his vital records to be released).

No doubt there are others, but those seem to be the main lines of thought on the issue.

I think the key continues to be that nobody knows for sure because no official will directly stand by and confirm what’s already been allegedly released, such as the picture of a document that purports to be Mr. Obama’s certification of live birth. For those of you who are wordsmiths, this is different than pointing to a press release by the HI DoH who say they know what they have on file.Similar Posts:
