A delicious collection of articles about the new Hawaii Governor's quest to right the world, starting with redressing allegations that Obama wasn't born in the United States..

Might Do More Harm Than Good Politico's Carol Lee writes that Abercrombie's efforts "could backfire," noting that "releasing additional documentation about Obama's birth in Honolulu--which has been independently verified--could do more to stir up the 'birthers' than quiet them down. The movement has used such documentation in the past to bolster their conspiracy theory."
This Isn't Really About Obama, It's About Hawaii Michael Memoli for the Los Angeles Times reports that "one of Abercrombie's aides said the governor is voicing the frustration of many Hawaiians who continue to be troubled by the rumors, which they see as emblematic of the view that Hawaiians are not Americans in the same way as those who live in the continental United States."
Well, since Hawaii was the last state, then Hawaiians are less American than the rest of us. That's just logical.
Excuse Me, Some of Us Still Aren't Satisfied Blogger Zandar at No More Mister Nice Blog bristles at the notion that the birth question has been settled. "'Most people see as resolved' not so much, considering the number of people who think President Obama isn't a US citizen has only gone up since he took office," the author writes.
