Washington’s comment is like chewing aluminum:

David Ammons, a spokesman for the Washington Secretary of State’s office, said the state typically places the nominees of the major parties on the ballot. The secretary’s office also certifies signatures for nominees of minor parties. However, the state doesn’t examine candidates’ birth records.
“We don’t have staff or statutory authority to go off investigating complaints,” or in this case, residency, Ammons said. In the case of the November election, Ammons described Marquis’ effort as “too little, too late, plus we can’t do it.”
If, when presented with facts, there's doubt in the mind of a part of the electorate about this man's constitutional eligibility to serve if elected, then the only thing complelling their loyalty would be force. This could become a constitutional crisis. Even if the embarassment is of the father's name variety rather than citizenship, this betrays a breathtaking selfishness and arrogance on Obama's part, placing as he is his personal concerns ahead of the country.
