Exactly. I agree with you and the proof is in the pudding, in the two years that this issue has been in the public eye, Bennett has taken no steps to seek a subpoena.

You don't understand. This would be a black eye on him (pun somewhat intended) and the state of Hawaii for Obama to be found out as a fraud. We have no evidence he or anyone else has looked at Obama's records close enough to know whether the records match what Obama has posted. Most politicians, given a choice, don't like to stir up trouble, especially with people who have more political power than they do.

If any prosecutor in the nation was going to undertake such an investigation, it should have happened BEFORE the November, 2008 election.

It's taken this long to get enough information to start to confirm that Obama has committed fraud. Prior to the election, people just assumed he was legit. It's kind of a pointless argument since we can't go back and change anything.

Well we do have the public statements of three state of Hawaii appointed officials: Dr. Chiyome Fukino, the Director of the Hawaii Health Department; Dr. Alvin T. Onaka, the Hawaii state Registar and Janice Okubo, Director of Communications for the Department of Health have all gone on the record confirming that Obama’s birth records are legitimate.
For example, here’s a quote that Okubo gave to the “Washington Independent” last July:
Ironically, the ‘birther’ movement began in response to Obama’s own efforts to debunk rumors. One year ago this week, the presidential campaign of then-Sen. Barack Obama launched FightTheSmears.com, a web site designed to push back against false rumors about the first African-American presidential nominee. To push back against rumors that he was not born in Hawaii, the campaign reproduced a Certificate of Live Birth from the state’s Health Department. Instead of terminating the conspiracy theories, that inspired new theories — that the certificate had been forged or that even if it hadn’t been forged it was the sort of certificate that could be given to someone born outside of the United States. But the certificate is specific about Obama’s birth in Honolulu, down to the 7:24 p.m. time.

“It’s crazy,” said Janice Okubo, director of communications for the Hawaii Department of Health. “I don’t think anything is ever going to satisfy them.”

Okubo, who said that she gets weekly questions from Obama ‘Birthers’ that are “more like threats,” explained that the certificate of live birth reproduced by Obama’s campaign should have debunked the conspiracy theories. “If you were born in Bali, for example,” Okubo explained, “you could get a certificate from the state of Hawaii saying you were born in Bali. You could not get a certificate saying you were born in Honolulu. The state has to verify a fact like that for it to appear on the certificate. But it’s become very clear that it doesn’t matter what I say. The people who are questioning this bring up all these implausible scenarios. What if the physician lied? What if the state lied? It’s just become an urban legend at this point.”
