So How Is That 0 Birth Cert Search Coming Along?

So How Is That 0 Birth Cert Search Coming Along? — Neil Abercrombie, as Hawaii’s governor-elect, said he wanted to end the controversy regrarding Barack Obama‘s eligibility to be president by releasing the state documents showing him to be conclusively a natural born citizen.

Abercrombie is now governor so what is the latest on the project?

Here is what the Honolulu Star-Advertiser posted yesterday from an interview with the Governor:

Q: You stirred up quite a controversy with your
comments regarding birthers and your plans to release more information
regarding President Barack Obama’s birth certificate. How is that
coming?

A: I got a letter from someone the other day who
was genuinely concerned about it; it is not all just political agenda.
They were talking on Olelo last night about this; it has a political
implication for 2012 that we simply cannot have.

(Abercrombie said there is a recording of the birth in the State Archives and he wants to use that.)

It was actually written I am told, this is what
our investigation is showing, it actually exists in the archives,
written down …

…What I can do, and all I have ever said, is that I am going to see to it as governor that I can verify to anyone who is honest about it that this is the case.

If there is a political agenda then there is nothing I can do about that, nor can the president.

That certainly clears things up.

People are going hmmmmm, Governor.
