Hawaii governor makes Obama birth controversy worse

New Hawaii Gov. Neil Abercrombie made national news when he promised he'd lay to rest once and for all the question of whether President Barack Obama was actually born in Hawaii.

He said he'd find the president's birth certificate documents and release them.

Then he said he was having trouble finding them.

Then he said he had them.

And now he says privacy laws prevent him from releasing them.

Nice job. Instead of helping clear up a faux controversy, this jackass of a governor made things worse.
