What cracks me up is this EIGHT weeks of waiting. What does SOS Bennett think of that I wonder? I also wonder if there have been any exchanges between HI and Bennett since sending off that request? He doesn’t mention any. I have to wonder if he got some sort of a receipt at least.
How many weeks is he willing to wait for his answer? Since he has already publicly stated that he will take ANY assurance, no matter how slight, from HI - I’m surprised they haven’t just re-sent those old press releases to him. I’m thinking he will accept those. I’m thinking he would accept anything just to get out from under this.
I think Bennett wants to be very sure that whatever he does withstands the legal scrutiny he’s sure to get. He wants to be very sure to obey the law. I can respect that.
I think he’s thinking that the 8-week delay means the HDOH isn’t going to answer, and so he’s emphasizing that he’s not asking much and still the HDOH isn’t delivering. He probably has no clue who he’s dealing with at the HDOH, or their willingness to stall for months and then when backed into a corner deny that they ever received a request that their own signature is on. Same kind of audacity/crap as Eric Holder.
I’m actually hoping the HDOH turns on their characteristic “charm” and pisses him off just like they pissed me off. I started to open my big mouth on this issue in response to THEIR lawlessness and obfuscation on requests that should have been so simple. I just hope they use their uncanny ability to influence people and make friends. lol. Can’t wait until they tell Bennett they don’t have to respond to him because he’s officially a “vexatious requestor”. lol
I hope Bennett had received some kind of confirmation that they got his request so he can nail them to the wall.
An article from the LA Times says that the HDOH told Bennett he had to prove that he’s authorized to ask for that record. So they’re giving him the runaround rather than denying that they got the request.
They’re going to try to say that unless the law specifically says he can write D-E-A-R-D-O-H, he can’t do it.
What the HDOH hasn’t considered is that Bennett is authorized to ask for whatever he needs in order to be comfortable putting the candidate on the ballot. If they don’t want to show him what he needs, then fine. He’ll just keep Obama off the ballot, and Obama himself will have to try to get Fuddy to pull her finger out of her rear end and actually do her job once. (Though Obama would never want Fuddy to REALLY do her job.)
This time Bennett has said the default is for the name to be LEFT OFF. They can stall all they want, but it’s only going to insure that Obama doesn’t appear on the ballot.
