Arizona Secretary of State Ken Bennett is threatening to keep President Obama’s name off the state’s ballot in November unless he receives confirmation from Hawaii that it has a valid birth certificate on file for him.
Bennett, who spoke to Arizona radio host Mike Broomhead Thursday, said he requested the confirmation eight weeks ago and has not gotten it. Hawaii, he said, does not have to supply a certified copy of the birth certificate, merely send him an email confirming that it has one.
Asked by Broomhead if he would remove Obama’s name from the ballot if Hawaii fails to comply, Bennett said: “That’s possible. Or the other option would be that I would ask all the candidates, including the president, to submit a certified copy of their birth certificate.”
Despite overwhelming evidence that Obama was born in Hawaii, the issue of his birth continues to dog him. Thursday, Breitbart Big Government reported on a promotional booklet by Obama’s own literary agency listing him as having been born in Kenya.
Bennett said Hawaii law permits government officials to request verification of possession of a birth certificate in lieu of a certified copy.
“They could say yes tomorrow and the whole thing goes away,” Bennett said. “If they can’t say yes to that simple question, than it makees we wonder if we have to take it to another level. One way or another, we have to have some simple verification that people are qualified for the office if they’re going to be on the ballot here in Arizona.”

What a scam.

Zippy was not born in the U.S. and he cannot prove he was. His citizenship is no longer in doubt.
Arizona Secy of State. THIS is the American legal constitutionalists style that made America the Great Nation it is... Charge On! Drum Roll. Put up or shut up.

It’s a sham as well as a scam. On the other hand, he’s probably preserving a way to avoid a regime-initiated visit from an IRS proctologist.
I think Obama and his family are going to flee the country on November 4, 2012.
“Put up or shut up.”
Read the article. It’s not “put up or shut up”, it’s yes or no. It’s a weasels way out. Horrid.
Even if Barry Soetoro aka Barack Hussein Obama had been birthed in the Lincoln Bedroom of the White House Obama is NOT a NATURAL BORN CITIZEN.
And yet apparently they won't even do that.
This simple mind thinks that it is incumbent for the Secretary of State of all 57 states to do due diligence to validate the candidacy of folks on the respective state’s ballot.
Not to do so would be negligence.
You nailed it.

That’s right. They know he wasn’t born in Hawaii. Cover up.
If Romney is anything like McCain he will do everything he can to help Obama.
I think odingo skipping town is very probable.
He has been raising lots of campaign cash (MF global) and he is not sharing any of his raised cash with his fellow dimrats.
His heart is in Kenya. Early in his first term, rahm and several others working for him made multiple trips to Kenya. It was reported in the news, but only as a minor story, nothing to see here, move on type stories.
He has managed to set the table for financial destruction and/or a terrorist attack. Why would he want to be here when the shtf?
My thinking is that he is going through the motions, raising tons of cash from his supporters, socking it away and making plans to skip town on election day. It would cause a lot of political chaos, but what does he care.
He’s not one of us.
