Pressure was mounting on Hawaii Governor Neil Abercrombie today amid increasing confusion over whether President Obama was born there.
Abercrombie said on Tuesday that an investigation had unearthed papers proving Obama was born in Hawaii in 1961.
He told Honolulu's Star-Advertiser: 'It actually exists in the archives, written down,' he said.
But it became apparent that what had been discovered was an unspecified listing or notation of Obama's birth that someone had made in the state archives and not a birth certificate.
And in the same interview Abercrombie suggested that a long-form, hospital-generated birth certificate for Barack Obama may not exist within the vital records maintained by the Hawaii Department of Health.
He said efforts were still being made to track down definitive vital records that would prove Obama was born in Hawaii.
I could walk down to the state office and get you a copy of my birth certificate today, if I didn't already have an official copy in my personal records already, which I do.
Why doesn't the POTUS? This is weird as hell.
Maybe because this story is a complete and total lie. Like, the governor of Hawaii never said that. Ever. Even according to the guy who wrote the article.
