Hawaii Governor Who Couldn't Find Obama's Birth Certificate Loses Primary

[Steve_McGarrett]

Yep, ole Neil Albercrombie, the hippie governor who stated he was going to put the birth certificate controversy to rest in 2010, and then couldn't find it making a fool out of himself, has been ousted after Barack Obama's endorsement. This is a stunning defeat for Obama.

This is a stunning defeat for Obama.

In what way?

....compared to voters who believe a US President should pay for their mortgage, gas, and cell phone?

Wrong. That would be Abercrombie who ended up with egg on his face after he went on the national news saying he would put the BC controversy to rest and then he couldn't find it after his investigation produced nothing except a written notation in the Hawaiian archives.

Depends on the voter. The retired military sure thinks so...

Are you an expert on the "retired military" general paint my house?

"The governor was seen as confrontational and he angered many voters with a proposal last year to raise a host of taxes. The politically influential teachers union also campaigned for Ige after Abercrombie alienated teachers in 2011 by imposing a final contract that cut pay by 5 percent after negotiations failed.

Ige, a respected state senator who served in the Legislature for 28 years, felt Hawaii was headed in the wrong direction, and that too many of the governor's decisions were dividing communities.

"There's been so much friction between Abercrombie, the Legislature and communities," said Tom White, 62, who voted for Ige and is retired from the U.S. Navy. "He's too rough around the edges."

Abercrombie's decision to appoint Schatz to the U.S. Senate seat after the death of beloved political icon U.S. Sen. Daniel Inouye, who died in 2012, also angered many Hawaii voters. Before he died, Inouye told Abercrombie that he wanted him to appoint Hanabusa to his seat."

No BC in here, none, of course...

Nope, don't need to be for them to cash the checks I help pay for, and they do.

But everything is about the Birth Certificate. Don't you know? Oh, and Benghazi.

That's big news. No wonder the major news networks didn't carry it. A forty year political career ended by fellow democrats in a primary even though the incumbent outspent the challenger and was personally indorsed by none other than the president of the United States.

Hawaii could sink and it wouldn't be big news. Give me a break...
