This is a blog, right?

I’m not knocking it, just asking.

Am I correct that the AZ SOS was seeking documentation, or verification of such, that would entitle Obama to appear on the AZ ballot, yet the issue he pursued was ONLY Obama’s birth in Hawaii and NOT the one of his being a natural born citizen or not?

It’s a pretty left-wing source.

It was the only place I could find the actual document other than the DUmmies site which I did not want to link to. I don’t know why Bennett backed down on this issue. Perhaps the document helps Arpaio and his investigation, if you know what I mean.

“yet the issue he pursued was ONLY Obama’s birth in Hawaii”

The only issue that the Hawaii Department of Health is qualified to address is what their records contain regarding Obama’s birth. A State registrar is in no position to address natural born citizen status with regard to parent’s citizenship etc.

According to the emails publicly released by freedom of information request, the AZ SOS's original request for verification of the birth certificate was pretty specific. The request asked Hawaii to verify something like the following: Do you have on file the birth certificate for a Barack Hussein Obama II, who was born at Kapiolani Gynecological Hospital in Honolulu, on August 4, 1961 at 7:24 pm, to father Barrack H Obama, born East Africa, Kenya, and mother Stanley Dunham, born Wichita Kansas? AZ SOS, Bennett's original request also asked whether the birth certificate posted by the White House was a true copy of the record on file in Hawaii.

Hawaii refused to accept the above request, or verify that the birth certificate posted by the White House's website was a true representation of Obama's birth certificate. In fact, Hawaii apparently required the AZ SOS to withdraw his ORIGINAL request, and then "reword" it to make the request more ambiguous before Hawaii would finally verify it.

By the way, it doesn't seem that the AZ SOS was interested Obama's parent's citizenship as much as his birth place.
