Bennett Backs Off Birther Threat, Apologizes To Arizona
Talking Points Memo ^ | May 22, 2012 | Nick R. Martin

Posted on 05/22/2012 4:29:57 PM PDT by Smokeyblue

After days of ridicule for launching a conspiracy theory-fueled investigation into Barack Obama’s birth certificate, Arizona Secretary of State Ken Bennett on Tuesday backed off his threat to keep the president off the ballot in November and apologized to his state.

“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.”

Everyone is looking for who got to him too far from home. McCain said that Obama will be on the ballot...so my guess is that is who made the call.

Especially when all the media articles either say that Hawaii has ALREADY verified Obama’s brith facts repeatedly, or say that Hawaii actually even RELEASED the BC. If either of those were the case, then what’s their hangup right now? If Fukino really and truly VERIFIED that Obama was born in Hawaii, as everybody claims she did through her statement, then why would she balk at doing for somebody authorized to receive it (such as Ken Bennett) after having put out for everybody in the world. It’s like a whore being too “pure” to consummate her own marriage on her wedding night.

Everybody really should read the HHS IG’s report on birth certificate fraud. It strongly recommends that states require more than one form of proof for determining eligibility for things, especially when much is at stake. And it recommends that if there are ANY signs of possible tampering with a vital record, ALL the vital records and citizenship documents be audited. That report is at http://oig.hhs.gov/oei/reports/oei-07-99-00570.pdf

The same questions come up when you realize that the HDOH refuses to let Duncan Sunahara see either the original or a photocopy of his deceased sister’s birth certificate. What legitimate reason would there be for refusing to let him see his own deceased sister’s record?

But then, the same thing was going on back in August-October of 2009 - when it took us 3 months to get Fukino to post on her website the HDOH Administrative Rules WHICH ARE REQUIRED BY LAW TO BE POSTED THERE AT ALL TIMES.

I could go on and on for a long time but I think you get the picture. I could also get very, very specific on the ways the HDOH has broken laws - for instance, altering Virignia Sunahara’s birth record in the database so that it was under somebody else’s name and no record showed up for her when somebody queried the database for her name. Or altering the 1960-64 birth index to include legally non-valid BC’s...

Worth repeating:

“It’s like a whore being too “pure” to consummate her own marriage on her wedding night.”

I predicted this very thing 24 hours ago!

If I had in dollars, the difference between what some of these bureaucrats are actually worth to our country and what they THINK they’re worth, I could give $10 Million to World Missions every year until Jesus comes back, and never miss the money!

What sort of mentality does it take for a guy to beat his chest and threaten all the godawful things he’s going to do if people don’t cooperate; and 24 hours later he’s whimpering like John Boner, twisting his lace-trimmed hankie around his fingers and apologizing to everyone but the janitor?!

Why bother trying if you won’t even TRY? Yes, the rest should step up - there should be requirements in place even - but since there are not, these guys need to recognize the problem and step up.

I’m not by any stretch a birther, but I REALLY don’t understand how Obama can get on the ballot with less ID than I needed to get a driver’s license in Arizona...or how Hawaii could complain about it.

I suspect the issue is that all candidates get on the ballot that way. And that Hawaii is not happy about one of their "native sons" being questioned when those born in other states are not. Especially since Hawaii already made a statement about this.

I think that's what Hawaii is talking about with the emphasis on

but none, as far as I can tell, establish the authority of the Secretary of State to maintain and update official lists of persons in the ordinary course of his activities.
I may be wrong, but I think she's saying "prove to me you're doing this for all candidates, then we'll talk."

"His other comments were pretty much based on the assumption that HI would verify whatever it is that they’re being asked to verify."

The last question from the Nazi Journalist asked if Obama would be on the ballot even if Hawaii didn't cooperate and Bennett said yes that he would be.

I don't expect any cooperation of any value coming from Hawaii based upon hearing this. About all we can hope for is that they have better information about who is making the threat deliveries. Perhaps this was actually the goal.

Thanks for the Ping.

After what happened in GA, I've come to expect public officials at all levels to abdicate their duty on this issue. Bennett actually lasted longer than I expected him to.

Extension application contains very suspicious, strange details:

Aug. 9, 1961: Date authorized stay expires

Aug. 31, 1961: Extension signed by Obama senior

Address: 1482 Alencastre St., Honolulu

If married , Give name and address of children ---BLANK

I found the details above suspicious for the following reasons:

1. Aug. 4, 1961: Obama's supposedly birth date at Kapiolani hospital was only 5 days BEFORE Obama senior's "Aug. 9, 1961 Date authorized stay expires".

2. Coincidence or not? I let you be the judge. To me, it looks awfully suspicious.

3. Aug. 31, 1961: Obama signs extension, but he leaves a BLANK space for "If married, Give name and address of children", even though Obama II was born ONLY 27 days BEFORE Obama senior filled out the extension form. I find that strange, that is, I find it strange that Obama senior did not list his son who was born ONLY 27 days BEFORE Obama senior filled out the extension.

4. Home address is different from the address listed on Obama's LONG FORM CERTIFICATE, even though the extension was filled out by Obama senior only 27 days AFTER Obama II was supposedly born at Kapiolani hospital on Aug. 4, 1961.

5. Address on extension form is 1482 Alencastre St., Honolulu, while the address on the long form birth certificate is different.(I don't have the address on the long form birth certificate before me right now, but most of you know what it is.)

6. (1) No children listed and (2)home address is different from what is on the long form birth certificate just 27 days AFTER Obama II was supposedly born at Kapiolani: Those are the two items that I found most suspicious.

7. Obama's parents NOT living together? Because the address on the extension form is different from the address on the long form birth certificate---even though Obama's birth occurred only 27 days BEFORE Obama senior filled out the extension form---it looks to me that Obama's father and mother were NOT living together when Obama II was supposedly born on Aug. 4, 1961 at Kapiolani Hospital.

How about just for candidates who post from the White House (in a nationally-televised press conference) forged documents (which the HDOH is willing to APPEAR to “validate”)?

You know, “the squeaky wheel gets the oil” kind of thing. Believe it or not, but it is legal to discriminate on the basis of actions. That’s why some people are in jail...
