Hawaiian "Jedi" defends Obama: Says he's offended...

I didn't know that Jedi's could be offended....

So the governor elect of Hawaii attributes  Obama's problems to the 'dark side of the force?' I wonder if the dear governor has considered the obvious worrisome correlations that can be made from a remark concerning the 'dark side of the force' and a black president.

Abercrombie offended by Obama citizenship questions

(HawaiiNewsNow) – Hawaii Governor Neil Abercrombie said Friday the "dark side" is responsible for accusations Barack Obama is not or should not be president because he was not born in the United States. As governor Abercrombie is optimistic he will be able to quiet at least some of the questions surrounding Obama's birth place.
"This has to do with the people in Hawaii who love him, people who loved his mom and dad. This has to do with the respect of the office that the president is entitled to," Abercrombie said after attending the Sheraton Hawaii Bowl at Aloha Stadium.
The controversy first gained national attention during Obama's presidential campaign in 2008. While his mother was from Kansas, his father was from Kenya. And doubters claimed he was born in either Kenya or Indonesia where he lived for a while as a child.
Obama's 2008 presidential campaign responded by releasing a certification of live birth and posting it online. But critics persisted. They want to see his original long-form birth certificate - - something that by law is not public record.
Chiyome Fukino, who at the time was Director of the Hawaii state Department of Health issued a statement saying she had "... personally seen and verified that the Hawaii state Department of Health has Senator Obama's original birth certificate on record..."
Even that did not quiet some who challenge Obama's legal citizenship.

I am sure that there are those who will agree, that there is a 'dark side of the force' at play in the Obama administration. Just not from  the same angle as the governor is attempting to portray it..
