PHOENIX -- The state of Hawaii has responded to Arizona Secretary of State Ken Bennett’s request for proof that President Barack Obama was in fact born in the Aloha State.
Basically these are intimidation tactics for suits and legal fights... They are veiled threats...
Ping
I think it would be better to say the State of Hawaii has “stonewalled” the AZ secretary of state’s request.
Ping
I think Romney is better for the NWO crowd...and I think they will realize it.
Which is Why I never wanted Romney
Bennett will probably be found with a prostitute, or dealing cocaine, or investigated by the IRS etc., a frame up by someone in McCain’s liquor mafia.
Don’t worry, Obama is working to kill the 4-H program! So now no one will have to show their birth docs for that either.
“If I were the SOS I would say that all candidates need to provide me with a BC so I can check all for qualifications.”
Imagine if Romney and Obama provided hard copies of their birth certificates. Obama’s being a printed copy from his fake PDF file with a fake embossed seal added.
The Michigan Department of Health would VERIFY Romney’s birth certificate.
I doubt Hawaii DOH would VERIFY Obama’s.
Back to square one again.
Hawaii's rules are irrelevant when it comes to official requests from other states.
Article VI Clause 2:
This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding.
Arizone has "full faith and credit" to ask for the public records of Hawaii.
Article IV Section 1:
Full Faith and Credit shall be given in each State to the public Acts, Records, and judicial Proceedings of every other State. And the Congress may by general Laws prescribe the Manner in which such Acts, Records and Proceedings shall be proved, and the Effect thereof.
Unless Congress has acted to define how the records are shared, Arizona is entitled to access to Hawaii's public records so that Arizona can comply with its own state's election processes.
-PJ
The Hawaii attorney general’s office has reportedly told Bennett that there are steps he needs to take in order to confirm President Obama’s birth records. Those steps include Bennett proving that he legitimately needs confirmation in order to update the records at his office.
Hula out - tapdancing in???
Awesome! Any other states have SOS’s with b*lls?
“Yes! We have no bananas, We have no bananas today!”
That's genius. I'm still laughing. LOL
You are very kind.
I am happy to have given you a laugh. We all need it these days.
My best to you.

Obama long birth certificate controversy: When Obama requested a copy of his long form birth certificate in April 2011 from Hawaii, did Hawaii officials play hardball with Obama with the following statement like they are playing hardball with duly elected Arizona Secretary of State Bennett:
"Before we can send you a copy of your long form birth certificate, you must first prove to us that you legitimately need a copy of your long form birth certificate in order to update your records at your office of President of the United States."
I don't think so.
In my opinion, Hawaii officials are insulting Secretary of State Bennett with the way that they are stonewalling and playing hardball with Bennett's request in his position as a properly elected Arizona state official, who, as I understand it, decides whose name can or cannot be placed on Arizona election ballots.
That is a hilarious article! How difficult it must have been to write in order to carefully dodge the facts left out of the article.
FALSE SPIN — “proof that President Barack Obama was in fact born in the Aloha State”
TRUTH — A more correct assessment would be that he has asked for a statement of support for what has already been put forth.
FALSE SPIN — “President Obama released his birth certificate”
TRUTH — Obama released a digital image claiming to state his birth information, and it has been labeled his birth certificate.
SELECTIVE SPIN — “Sheriff Joe Arpaio has been investigating the President’s birth certificate since last August. Arpaio has said that his investigation is still ongoing.”
INFO. LEFT OUT — “Sheriff Joe...last August.” He determined it to be at worst a fraud and at best a composite image which leaves room for vital information related to eligibility to be left out. “Arpaio has said...ongoing.” A person of interest is being discussed.
Wouldn’t it be nice if the news was “just the facts” and how to feel about it was left to the reader? What a novel idea...
Hawaii officials and Arizona Secretary of State Bennett will work something out in order to avoid embarrassing each other over this Obama mess.
However, what will be interesting is learning how the two states finally settled their differences, that is, I wonder which state will blink first and give in to the other state's demands.
I already know that. A long time ago I researched how a candidate was required to prove he/she was eligible to run as president and was shocked to find out there was no requirement!
What you need to know is that you are wrong. The Twentieth Amendment, Section 3 clearly provides that it is the burden of the "President Elect" to "qualify" or Congress is instructed to name an interim President. Congress didn't do it's job and we have a usurpation as the result.
