This has to be one of the stupidest moves that any Democratic Party member, who is an elected official, has ever pulled.

The Story via the NYT:

HONOLULU — Gov. Neil Abercrombie of Hawaii, who befriended President Obama’s parents when they were university students here, has been in office for less than three weeks. But he is so incensed over “birthers” — the conspiracy theorists who assert that Mr. Obama was born in Kenya and was thus not eligible to become president — that he is seeking ways to change state policy to allow him to release additional proof that the president was born in Honolulu in 1961. “It’s an insult to his mother and to his father, and I knew his mother and father; they were my friends, and I have an emotional interest in that,” Governor Abercrombie said in a telephone interview late Thursday. “It’s an emotional insult. It is disrespectful to the president; it is disrespectful to the office.” The governor, a Democrat and former congressman, said he has initiated conversations with the state’s attorney general and the chief of its Health Department about how he can release more explicit documentation of Mr. Obama’s birth on Aug. 4, 1961, at Kapiolani Maternity and Gynecological Hospital. He said he has done so of his own accord, without consulting the White House, which declined to comment. “He’s a big boy; he can take sticks and stones. But there’s no reason on earth to have the memory of his parents insulted by people whose motivation is solely political,” Mr. Abercrombie said. “Let’s put this particular canard to rest.”

Firstly, I feel the need to clear up some misconceptions that might exist out there, as to what Conservatives actually believe about President Barack Obama. The good majority of the Conservatives have no qualms in believing that Barack Obama is a citizen of the United States of America via his birth in Hawaii. We disagree with his politics, but we do believe his a citizen. However, there are, what I like to call, outliers. Those who are making a cottage industry of casting doubt as to whether Barack Obama is a citizen of the United States. These are the very same people, who wrote some of the most idiotic stuff about Bill Clinton during his Presidency, most notably when Vince Foster was found dead. Now, before anyone points to me — I will admit that I would like to see a long form Birth Certificate. However, that is not the sole focus of this blog. Not to mention the fact that after I was burned badly, by some dope purporting to have a Kenyan Birth Certificate of Barack Obama, which turned out to be fake. I then decided that the issue was becoming a moronic one and decided that I no longer wanted to be associated with it.

Secondly, I do not believe for one lousy second that this is just some sort of “Good Samaritan” trying to preserve the Presidents parent’s memory or whatever it is that this man is claiming. In politics, especially in liberal politics, everything and I do mean everything is a tactical maneuver. Now as to what kind of tactical maneuver is where I will speculate a little. It could very well be that the White House is trying to present this as a diversion while it tries to bring in end of life counseling back into the healthcare bill. This is the one provision in the bill that was bandied around as death panels by those who, again, were making a cottage industry out of criticizing the President. I also have an alternative theory as well — as you all know, Hillary Clinton fought and ultimately lost a very long and protracted battle for the White House, she ended up with a meaningless job as Secretary of State, who which it’s rumored she might be leaving.

Thirdly, the main reason why I object to this stunt is that it actually legitimizes the tin-foil hat conspiracy theory crowd. I mean, my main thought here is — why bother. Nothing anyone does will ever convince these idiotic people that President Barack Obama is a legitimate citizen of the United States. It is, in fact, an exercise in futility. Another objection that I have is this; why is taxpayer’s money being used to do something like this? It just does not make any sense, at least on the normal level.

Perhaps it is some sort of political “Payback” for Hillary’s humiliation in the primary. Perhaps this is a sort of a political payback for the President stiffing some of his base on pet issues like Gay Marriage and stuff like the Dream act. It is very hard to tell at this point. It could just be an honest case of someone trying to do a good thing. However, knowing politics as I do — I very much doubt it.
