Hawaii Verifies Obama’s Birth For Arizona Secretary Of State
Talking Points Memo ^ | May 22, 2012 | Nick Martin

Posted on 05/22/2012 9:14:44 PM PDT by Beaten Valve

A Hawaii official announced late Tuesday that the state gave Arizona’s top elections official the verification he wanted showing President Barack Obama was indeed born there in 1961.

The announcement came just hours after Arizona Secretary of State Ken Bennett backed away from his threats to keep Obama off the November ballot and apologized for embarrassing his own state with a conspiracy theory-fueled investigation into whether the president was really a natural born U.S. citizen.

It also followed weeks of back and forth between Hawaii and Arizona, with Hawaii officials saying they weren’t sure Bennett was qualified to be investigating the matter.

Here’s the full statement Joshua Wisch, the special assistant to the Hawaii attorney general, released at 11:35 p.m. ET:

“Fact or Crap?”

Worse than “Crap” It gives Bennett an out the pansy, and provides the OBots propaganda like the clowns at this website TPM.

I became convinced a long time ago that the NBC issue would never go anywhere. There are way too many people in positions of power, such as congress and the SC, who refused to do anything about it.

All I know is the form (and it was a copy of the form Obama showed to the public) on the White House website was a complete fabrication. Why? I have no idea.

For now, I’ll let this go, and now we need to focus on getting the man out of office.

It sure would be nice to see the response from an official source.
I looked and I don't see anything.

Using the wording at your link I only get 4 returns...
@Joshua Wisch " We have received information from Secretary Bennett that satisfied our requirements,"

So who is Nick Martin ?

So...here's what Bennett is supposed to have actually said:

“If I embarrassed the state, I apologize, but that certainly wasn’t my intent,” Bennett said in an interview with Phoenix radio station KTAR. “He’ll be on the ballot as long as he fills out the same paperwork and does the same things that everybody else has.”

Bennett said he still intends to keep asking Hawaii for verification that Obama’s birth certificate is authentic. But he said he only plans to use Hawaii’s answer as a way to satisfy demands from constituents who remain unconvinced Obama is a natural born citizen of the United States and so therefore eligible to be president.

He also said he talked to Hawaii’s attorney general on Monday night and clarified what he is looking to have verified. He said he “reworded” his request and expects to receive a response from Hawaii officials “in the next 24 to 48 hours.”

Listen to his interview:

“How did Hawaii verify his birth?”

Like always, they just said it! No paper to back up their asertion. This a$$hat Bennett needs to go. Like Jan Brewer, he’s a weak-kneed jerk. McLame, Brewer, and now Bennett. Not an ounce of testosterone anywhere in AZ leadership, with the notable exception of Joe Arpaio.

On second review, there’s no confirmation from Arizona’s Secretay of State, just comments from Hawaii.

TPM is an OBot website. Hawaii, the dishonest twerps, are playing games trying to get a jump on the propaganda.

Still too bad for the OBots that this has no effect on Sheriff Arpaio's Obama investigation. Heh.

Arizona caved in yesterday. No need to confirm anything. So Hawaii can say anything they want and say they all agree and we can just get on with the coronation.

And what verification was given? Someone gave their word in a phone call?

Thanks Beaten Valve.

Sorry, all of this sounds completely fabricated and if the Arizona Sec of State did reverse, then it is because other ofrces are at work here somehow. They haven't had time to verify whatever it is Hawaii may have provided.

Hope you're correct. We do jump the gun by reacting to the leftist media.

In other words; too many people in power could legitimately be killed, as treason is punishable by death, when it came out that they were involved in overthrowing the Constitution, or at least remnants thereof.

@Hawaii verifies Obama's birth records to Arizona
Joshua Wisch, special assistant to Hawaii Attorney General David Louie, told The Associated Press late Tuesday that the matter is resolved after Hawaii gave Arizona the verification it was looking for.
Hawaii—which has vouched for Obama's birth in the state several times—didn't bow to the request easily. The Aloha State told Arizona Secretary of State Ken Bennett to prove he needed the records as part of normal business.
Wisch says Hawaii got what it needed.
It's not immediately clear whether the information will satisfy Bennett. A spokesman says he received the verification and will comment Wednesday.

Wow that’s funny because before they said they couldn’t find it. My oh my, it must have been under a seat cushion.

“I’ve tried my best” he told us, “but so far I haven’t found anything that proves he was born in Hawaii. And it doesn’t help that Kenya keeps bragging about one of their homeboys pulling a fast one on the USA and getting elected President.”

Yeah... and AZ could have made a BIG STAND against the injustice and overreach of the federal government.
I wrote an article up explaining how, it's for NM, but applicable in the general idea to AZ: here.

Nothing yet official at the Hawaii Department of Health Press Release listings page.

Nothing yet official at the Arizona Secretary of State News Room Page.

Sounds like we'll be getting more info tomorrow.
