Michelle Bachmann Blocks Bill Declaring Hawaii Obama's Birthplace
July 27, 2009 - by Donny ShawUPDATE: Salon notes that later on Monday night, the resolution passed unanimously, with Bachmann voting in favor.
This afternoon, the House was moments away from approving a resolution to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the entry of Hawaii into the Union that contains language declaring that President Obama was born in the state. But at the very last second, Rep. Michele Bachmann [R, MN-6] swooped in and rescued the birthers from legislative defeat. Here’s the video from Think Progress:
According to Sam Stein at the Huffington Post, the resolution, which is sponsored by Rep. Neil Abercrombie [D, HI-1] and co-sponsored by 8 Republicans, has been in the works since long before this current wave of birther conspiracy theories began picking up steam among conservatives. “Abercrombie is hoping to have it passed by the House before August recess because the real date of Hawaii statehood — August 21 — occurs while Congress is on break,” Stein reports.

Obama’s Hawaii pals sure like to make sure he’s doing okay. They got him ‘born’ in Hawaii under the 2 year born there law if you file in two years law; but rumor has that was really a CIA lawyer who figured this out back then so his dad would keep informing. It’s amazing how good they are about keeping their word – he really is President and it’s okay if he just sits there and says that allot while puffing away.
