Bill O'Reilly either mistakenly or deliberately told a falsehood on his program Wednesday evening. In reply to a viewer's letter, O'Reilly stated that the reason Obama has a Connecticut Social Security number is because his father lived in Connecticut for several years. This remark is provably and patently false. Fox News has since scrubbed those remarks from their archives, but someone has managed retrieve it. Coincidentally, O'Reilly did not appear on his program Thursday evening.

If Gov. Neil Abercrombie Really Wanted The Records . . .
By William A. Jacobson

January 26, 2011
The Obama birth certificate controversy continues, with Hawaii Governor Neil Abercrombie starting and then abandoning efforts to release more documentation. Claims in The Daily Caller and on Drudge that Abercrombie has admitted to a friend that the birth certificate is not on file (contrary to representations by Hawaiian officials) adds just more fuel to a highly charged political fire.
Put aside whether Abercrombie should be looking to release documentation. That is such a hot issue that it is impossible to have a civil discussion about it anymore (my position is here and here). (Please, no comments regarding the meaning of "natural born citizen" will be put through, anyone who wants to read about that can read the comments to my prior posts.)
But when such stalwart supporters of Obama as Chris Matthews, David Corn and Clarence Page all have joined Gov. Abercrombie in seeking release of the original birth certificate, one wonders why Gov. Abercrombie didn't take an obvious route.
