A ''birther''? Well I didn't USED to be one...

As the title suggests, I had my doubts about the whole ''birther'' issue. I thought ''Hmm, if Hillary and then McCain didn't go there, that suggests there is reason to believe 'the smoking gun' doesn't exist''. After all, if they could have used the ''ineligible to be President'' claim against him, why the hell didn't they? In the case of Hillary, I can believe it was 'horse trading' (Obama: Hillary, what can I do to get you out of my way to the White House? Hillary: Secretary of State. Obama: If I win, it's yours! Hillary: Deal.)
But that doesn't explain McCain. Other than to say he didn't have the guts 'to go there'. I didn't think any of them were fit to be Prez, (that includes both Palin and Biden) but then again, by that point I thought: ''Bush will wind up as being the GOP's Jimmy Carter''.
That said, I don't hold any ill will towards Gov. Abercrombie, I'm thinking Occam's Razor here; He figured ''I'm thee  Gov. of Hawaii, if anyone can put this issue to rest, I can and should!'' (The birthplace of a President; THERE IS 'BRAGGING RIGHTS' THERE!!!).
Not only did he not 'settle the issue' he brought it back to the forefront!
If he could not obtain Obama's OFFICIAL Birth Certificate, it may well not exist!
I've recently had to go through the whole 'Obtain your Birth Certificate' thing (I needed to renew my ID). It cost me $65us, but the questions to get it were quite straightforward:

  • Mom's full 'maiden' name.
  • Dad's full name.
  • Where I was born.
  • And when.
  • What State.
  • What County in that State.
And that is what it took me to get a Certified Copy of MY Birth Certificate!!!
And BTW, I obtained it and paid for it 'online'!
It was shipped to me UPS, ppd. in 10 days.
It's 'Public Record'; I CAN'T BELIEVE the Gov. of HI can't get the BC for President Obama!
