Obama: Birth Certificate Debate Heard Around The World

By Rush Limbaugh
January 21, 2011

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT:
RUSH: I've been sitting on this story all week, purposely, just to see where it would go.  And it has grown.  This governor out in Hawaii, Neil Abercrombie, a well-known socialist, by the way, longtime member of Congress, now the governor of Hawaii, really stepped in it earlier, well, I think it was not even this week, it was last week.  The governor, Neil Abercrombie, some time ago said, (paraphrasing) "Look, I was there when Obama was born in Hawaii.  That birth certificate, it exists.  Everybody knows it.  I was there when that kid was born."  Turns out he wasn't there, and he admitted he wasn't there.  He was there in spirit.  He was trying to say he's that certain.  See, he thinks that Obama ought to just get this off the table.  Abercrombie is worried that this birth certificate thing is going to be a lingering problem heading into 2012.  So Abercrombie, big friend of Obama, tried to step in there and head this off at the pass.  It turns out he can't find the birth certificate, the governor of Hawaii cannot find it.  It's just a notation that somebody wrote down.

Now, it's still entirely possible all this is a giant head fake.  For me, ladies and gentlemen, the sophisticated political figure that I am, it's really hard for me to believe that Neil Abercrombie just one day woke up on his own and without consultation said, "This birth thing bugs me.  I'm gonna call a press conference, and I'm gonna tell people I was there when he was born, and I knew his mom and dad, and he was born here and I'm gonna prove it."  I said earlier, Abercrombie's no fool.  Many Hawaiians would disagree with me on that, many have.  But if this guy is acting on his own as I have just described, that's unbelievable.  The alternative is he's not acting on his own, this is all part of a continuing head fake and that at some point after a lot of people have gotten revved up cause now, the UK Daily Mail Online is more mainstream than anywhere else in America this has.  Okay, so it ratchets up and ratchets up and then a couple years down the road, year and a half down the road, guess what, the thing's found, and, oh, can you imagine the air that will be let out of people's sails then?

RUSH:  I'll tell you why I think Abercrombie may just be toying around with everybody on this to pull a political trick later on down the line.  Remember October 31st, 2008, there was a statement from the director of the Hawaii Department of Health.  His name is Chiyome Fukino, and here is the statement. I mean, all Abercrombie would have to do is ask this guy because this guy in his statement says he's seen it.  "There have been numerous requests for Sen. Barack Hussein Obama’s official birth certificate.  State law prohibits the release of a certified birth certificate to persons who do not have a tangible interest in the vital record.

Therefore, I as Director of Health for the State of Hawaii, along with the Registrar of Vital Statistics who has statutory authority to oversee and maintain these type of vital records, have personally seen and verified that the Hawaii State Department of Health has Sen. Obama's original birth certificate on record in accordance with state policies and procedures." So right here in his statement in 2008, he said he's seen it.  Yet Abercrombie can't find it.  Now, what gives here?  Abercrombie is a Democrat. He's from the Pelosi, Jim Wright school. This guy was a Democrat for a long time. This guy knows every trick in the book. This guy voted with the Soviets over the Contras in Nicaragua.

This guy is every bit as far left as anybody in the House is today and he's running around saying he can't find the birth certificate and he's the governor. Yet the Department of Health director issued a statement on Halloween (I'm sure that's a coincidence) of 2008.  He's seen it.  "I as Director of Health for the State of Hawaii, along with the Registrar of Vital Statistics who has statutory authority to oversee and maintain these type of vital records, have personally seen and verified that the Hawaii State Department of Health has Sen. Obama’s original birth certificate on record in accordance with state policies and procedures.

"No state official, including Governor Linda Lingle, has ever instructed that this vital record be handled in a manner different from any other vital record in the possession of the State of Hawaii." So the director of health for Hawaii says he personally saw it.  I've got the PDF file of his statement. I could link to it. We could post it at RushLimbaugh.com.  Now, out of the blue here comes the new governor, Abercrombie, saying he can't find it.  Now (sigh), folks, I'm just warning you: Be very, very careful on this.  Something here is just not right . . .
