Politics: Hawaii governor: I have Obama’s birth certificate, but can’t show it off

  • 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.
  • Hawaii Gov. Neil Abercrombie • Discussing a controversy that should’ve died a long time ago that he’s been trying to get to the root of for some reason. Anyway, Abercrombie says they have the birth certificate and stuff, but later found out he’s unable to show it off due to privacy laws which he has no control over. WHY EVEN SAY YOU HAVE IT IF YOU’RE NOT ABLE TO SHOW IT OFF?! You’re feeding the trolls, who still want to see it. source

Politics: Boehner not a birther, won’t clamp down on GOPers who are

  • The state of Hawaii has said that President Obama was born there. That’s good enough for me.
  • House Speaker John Boehner • Speaking on the topic of birthers, a topic that found itself in the news today thanks to someone who really likes shouting during a formal recitation of the U.S. Constitution. Despite his own personal feelings on Tea Partiers, don’t expect Boehner to stomp on the political beliefs of his fellow members of Congress, no matter the party: “People come, regardless of party labels, they come with all kinds of beliefs and ideas. It’s the melting pot of America. It’s not up to me to tell them what to think.” Ultimately, we pretty much agree with that sentiment, even if it means a couple of weirdos get in there. source

Politics: “Help Us Jesus!” Birther interrupts House’s Constitution-reading

  • Look, it’s great that Congress is doing this, seeing as it’s never ever been done, but please, don’t shout any imagined amendments to the Constitution while it’s being read. It’s just kind of lame. (thanks joshsternberg for the tip) source
