Record of President Obama's birth in 1961 is 'in the archives': Hawaii
Gov. Neil Abercrombie

Internet rumors spurred on by a fringe group known as 'birthers' insist
that President Obama is not a U.S. citizen.
Officials in Hawaii have tracked down papers indicating that President
Obama was indeed born in their state, according to its new governor.
Gov. Neil Abercrombie, who took office in December, told Honolulu's
Star-Advertiser 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 told CNN
in December. "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."
On Tuesday, he again promised he would do "what I can do" to publicly
verify that records show Obama was born in Hawaii and is a citizen of
the United States, making him eligible to be President.
Birthers insist that the President, born in 1961, is not eligible to be
commander in chief. The reasons often vary, and have changed and
expanded in the two years since the Internet rumor began.
Some believe his Certification of Live Birth is fake and he was really
born in Kenya. Others argue that Obama is a citizen of the United
Kingdom or Indonesia. Most theories have been dismissed by many in
public office and the media, and have been found to be misleading or
generally untrue.
However, the conspiracy theories still thrive, and according to
Abercrombie, likely will continue despite whatever evidence that shows
him to be a proper U.S. citizen.
"You're not going to convince those people because they have a political
agenda, or they have minds that go in that kind of direction," he told
CNN. "Conspiratorial theorists are never going to be satisfied. This
has gone into another area of political attack."
