Governor Neil Abercrombie is a Liar

Hawaii Governor Neil Abercrombie was recently asked by a Honolulu television reporter to clarify what he meant by “he was there” when Obama was born—a statement ridiculed by Donald Trump.

Abercrombie responded, “I was here in Hawaii.”

Reporter: “You were [merely] here in Hawaii, not in the [delivery] room obviously.”

Abercrombie: “Look, you know, let’s, let’s be serious, and it, it, uh, it is simply reprehensible to have this kind of conversation, uh, insulting someone’s mother and father speaks about the person who is doing it.”

Abercrombie claims he first saw the infant Obama just “days after he was born” when his parents brought him to the University of Hawaii campus. “We not only saw him and were with them but were introduced to him of course at our gatherings, our student gatherings. And, uh, of course over the years then, uh, as he was raised by his mother and his grandparents, uh, we of course saw him frequently because he was, he was with his grandfather all the time.”

There are several problems with Abercrombie’s story. Abercrombie purportedly told long-time friend Mike Evans he first met Obama when he was playing T-ball at age 5 or 6—not as an infant. Further, although Obama’s father, Obama, Sr. attended the University of Hawaii in the fall of 1961, his mother, Stanley Ann Dunham, was attending the University of Washington and, in August 1961 visited her friend Susan Blake in Seattle to show off her new baby. By the time Dunham returned to the University of Hawaii, Obama, Sr. had already left for Harvard. It was therefore impossible for Abercrombie—or anyone else—to have seen Obama, Jr. with his parents at “student gatherings” in Hawaii because Dunham and her baby were in Seattle.

In researching The Obama Timeline, this author interviewed former students of the University of Hawaii who knew Barack Hussein Obama, Sr. quite well. None of them ever heard of Stanley Ann Dunham; none of them ever saw Obama, Sr. with a woman with that name; none of them believed he was married to anyone other than a woman in Kenya; and none of them ever saw him with an infant son or were told he had a new child and an American bride.

Abercrombie is lying. Perhaps his memory will improve once he faces obstruction of justice charges when Obama is indicted for fraud.
