In spite of the fact that the President released a Certificate of Live Birth that was authenticated and even accepted as proof by Fox News as well as repeated statements by officials in Hawaii that his birth certificate is on file in Hawaii's vital records department,  a certain segment continued to demand to see the actual birth certificate.
Neil Abercrombie, a Democrat who knew Obama's parents, has asked the Hawaii's attorney general and health department if more records can be made public to stifle persistent false allegations that the president is not a natural-born citizen of the United States, according to the New York Times and The Hill newspaper.
To become president, an individual must have been born in the United States and be at least 35 years old.
"It's an insult to his mother and to his father, and I knew his mother and father; they were my friends, " the exasperated governor told the Times in a phone interview.
"It's an emotional insult. It is disrespectful to the president. It is disrespectful to the office. . . . Let's put this particular canard to rest."
Abercrombie, who served 22 seasons in the House of Representatives before being elected governor in November, stated he wanted to put the "birthers" in their proper light by showing that they have a political agenda "not worthy of any good American."
The President's parents are both deceased. His father was born in Kenya and his mother was born in Kansas.
He and his family are spending the holidays on the island of Oahu.
