lol
i'm wondering. if it was no big deal, then why did Obama's good friend, the GUVNAH of Hawaii himself, say he was going to settle the matter once and for all (suggesting it WAS NOT SETTLED).
if you feel insulted, then my comments hit too damn close to home.[/QUOTE]
massive lulz. let me translate this:
'settle this once and for all'
aka: he was just elected guvnuh last month.
aka: he was never consulted when obama was elected to be the guy behind the guy behind the guy to verify our president isn't a damn dirty foreigner, BECAUSE HE WAS JUST ELECTED LAST MONTH. so now that he has a chance to help squash total stupidity, he is going to chip in with his $.02.

Officials in [URL="http://www.nydailynews.com/topics/Hawaii"]Hawaii[/URL] have tracked down papers indicating that [URL="http://www.nydailynews.com/topics/Barack+Obama"]President Obama[/URL] was indeed born in their state, according to its new governor.
[URL="http://www.nydailynews.com/topics/Neil+Abercrombie"]Gov. Neil Abercrombie[/URL], who took office in December, [URL="http://www.staradvertiser.com/editorials/20110118_This_is_a_collaborative_endeavor.html"]told Honolulu's Star-Advertiser[/URL] on Tuesday that "our investigation" indicates there is a recording of his birth.
"It actually exists in the archives, written down," he said.
The new Democratic head of the state vowed when he took office that he would do his best to end the debate over Obama's birth, which began in 2008 during the presidential campaign.
"We'll do what we can as quickly as we can to make it inevitable that only those who wish the President ill, only the ones with a political agenda, will be the ones doing this kind of thing," Abercrombie [URL="http://whitehouse.blogs.cnn.com/2010/12/27/governor-vows-to-end-birther-controversy/"]told CNN in December[/URL]. "The President is entitled to the respect of his office and he's entitled to have his mother and father respected."
During that interview, Abercrombie said his goal to combat birthers was a personal one.
"It's a matter of principle with me," the 72-year-old said. "I knew his mom and dad. I was here when he was born. Anybody who wants to ask a question honestly could have had their answer already
