The new Governor of Hawaii, an Obama KoolAid drinking Democrat, promised to end the “birther” controversy as soon as he took office.  Apparently he went over to the state archives to see the actual documents, with his own eyes, so he could verify the truth once and for all.  But there was a problem.  When he opened the cupboard, the cupboard was bare:

 This story was dead and buried, until the new Governor stupidly resurrected it.  The only thing we know for sure is that he personally lied about things.  For example he claimed to have met Obama’s parents along with the child.  The problem is that this story could not possibly be true.  Of course a lot of politicians invent exciting pasts.  Hillary Clinton claimed she was named after Sir Edmond Hillary, in recognition of his climbing Mt Everest.  If he hadn’t waited until she was five years old before achieving this goal, this story might have more credibility.

 Obama was allegedly born on Aug 4, 1961, in Hawaii.  His mother showed up in Seattle and enrolled in the University of Washington on August 19, 1961.

 It would appear that, at a minimum, she relocated from Hawaii to Seattle, Washington, shortly after Obama was born.  There is no evidence that Barack Obama Sr. cared.  He moved from Hawaii to Harvard before Obama’s mother ever moved back to Hawaii.  It does not appear that Obama’s parents EVER lived together as husband and wife after he was born.  If they did, it was only for a couple of days, shortly after he was born.

  I think the Governor assumed he would waltz over to the archives, heroically produce Obama’s long form birth certificate and put this all to rest.  But, clearly, he could not do that.  The following report, from WND has never been proven incorrect:

 WND has also reported that Tim Adams, a former senior elections clerk for the city and county of Honolulu in 2008, has maintained that there is no long-form, hospital-generated birth certificate on file with the Hawaii Department of Health and that neither Honolulu hospital – Queens Medical Center or Kapiolani Medical Center – has any record that Obama was born there.

 This is turning out exactly as I expected.  So far, no long-form hospital-generated birth certificate on file with the State of Hawaii has been verified.  So far, neither Honolulu hospital, Queens Medical Center or Kapiolani Medical Center has produced any record verifying that Obama was born there. 

 In spite of a lot of stink and steam, the ultimate result is that there is no definite proof of where Obama was born.  Absence of documentation is not proof of anything, but a lack of documentation.  In other words, the absence of documents does not prove, per sea, that Obama was not born in Hawaii.  Absent some evidence proving that he was born someplace else, the best evidence available, is still the record on file with the State of Hawaii.  While this may be more than a little squishy, it appears to be all there is.  All of the participants, other than Obama, are conveniently dead.  I know this is not very satisfying, but it is what it is.  The bottom line is that while this will prove to be embarrassing for Obama and the story will generate stink and steam, but nothing will change.  In other words it does not matter where Obama was actually born, unless someone has solid evidence that he was born some place other than Hawaii.  Even if he was born in Kenya, I suspect those documents are long gone.  His “Kenya” grandmother allegedly remembers him being born in Kenya, but that is far from well documented and it was a translated conversation subject to dispute. 

 I am predicting that this story will get more and more attention, but ultimately it will solve nothing and change nothing.  What it will show is that this is far from the totally documented case closed reported in the main stream media. 

 In summary, sometimes the truth, is, well the truth.   All we know is that we don’t know and while the only evidence appears to be questionable, it remains the only evidence.  Those who believe Obama was born in the U.S. have just cause for their opinion. Those who believe he was born in Kenya also have grounds for their opinion.  In the end, the only thing certain is uncertainty.  The question is whether, under the circumstance, anyone in either party will care enough to do anything.  My prediction is that Obama will produce no documentation and no one will challenge him on the issue.
