Hawaii governor seeks release of original Obama birth record
Hawaii Governor Neil Abercrombie is sick of the Birthers. So sick that he is working with the state office that oversees birth records to release formal, official proof that Obama was indeed born there in 1961 according to a report in the New York Times. Depending on how you look at it, the Birthers are either about to get what they want - or have all the wind knocked out of their anti-Obama allegations and become an even bigger laughingstock.

Obamas Good Week
It was a very good week for the President.
The Repeal of “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” vindicated his strategy on this issue. And at the signing ceremony, he invoked the kind of inspirational Rhetoric that attracted so many people to Barack Obama in the first place:
