Ken Bennett Wants To See Obama’s Birth Certificate Before Barack’s Name Will Appear On Arizona’s Ballot

I don't care if he is from Mars he is as useless as tits on a bull!

This is only valid if he requires copies of ALL candidates birth Certificates.

I respect the position you hold Mr. Secretary of State(Az) but your inquiry into President Obama's birth certificate(still), says you don't respect the governing body of Hawaii to deliver legal documentation on the President's birth.Actions like yours and others is how we pick up on "Racism" at it's most subtle, call me paranoid but it's only true if I feel it and not on your say-so.

If Mr Obama has nothing to hide, why have his records remained sealed. . . just saying. . .No other candidate has bee so un forthcoming about his past. . .

See 1 see them all

Patricia Lombardo Iannuzzo That is simply not true. Obama has been completely forthcoming and his birth certificate has been on the Internet for everyone to see. People that don't watch FOX are aware of it but it seems that FOX watchers still don't. Check it out for yourself and take a real good look up close to raised seal. Also, please take note that it is the "long form". Also, if you can't believe your eyes maybe you will believe the people that have examined it personally, up close, and verify that it is, indeed, a real birth certificate. God, you people really need to watch something besides O'Reilly. http://factcheck.org/UploadedFiles/2011/04/birthcertificatelongform.pdf

to be fair, shouldn't he refuse to put mitt romney on the ballot until he provides a birth certificate too? oh yeah, he's white. of course he was born in the u.s.

Bennett is a waste of an elected official. Didn't I also read that Bennett is in charge of Romney's campaign in AZ? Would that not put him in conflict of interest?

Have these people not seen the coffee mugs and tshirts?

Have these people not seen the coffee mugs and tshirts?

MS Desmond, For you information, I've never seen O'Reilly and don't watch FOX news! And I also don't believe everything I read on the internet! I am aware, however, of the illegal status of some of Mr Obama's relatives and the way in which Mrs Obama spends taxpayer dollars on her own pleasure!

Ok people did he say he did not ask for the other candidates birth certificates? Perhaps they have already supplied them! He said he was waiting for proof from HI on Obama nothing more nothing less; and he didn't even ask for a certified copy; which I would if I was in charge for each and every person on the ballot, whether White, Black, or Green! What does Obama's color have to do with anything? Think he is 50% White and 50% black is he not? White mom and black father just like my grand kids and they are listed as white on their birth certificates; so there you go! And I have seen that certificate from HI still I have questions; and it has nothing to do with his skin color; one of which is he a natural born citizen; which he has to be! Read your Constitution!

Why is it always the race card being played when it comes to Obama, I could careless if he was green but since it took him almost 3 yrs to produce a "copy" of his original birth certificate and one which is still not a "typical" copy why wouldn't anyone question his birth origin. Get over the fact he is black , we all know this move on to whether he is qualified by the LAW to have even been elected.

Your accusations are unfounded. You obviously get your information from propaganda sources because they are inaccurate, period. Who cares about Obama's relatives? Do you really want to get into the backgrounds of President's relatives? As far as your statement "Mrs Obama spends taxpayer dollars on her own pleasure!", again, you obviously don't have a lot of correct information because you make it sound like she has spent dollars on things that other first ladies have not. Simply not true.

He did produce a certificate after 3 yrs of being asked, wonder why?? And it was a Copy not even a regular copy thats why he's been questioned. Even his own family says he was not born here.

He was born in Kenya ask him you people need to see what happens in the suprem court in July. he's not on Georgia ballot either he lost a court case there about his birth place but the lib news said nothing.

This same crap has been circulating for years. Not true. Court cases have filed based on this same unfounded allegation. Thrown out, several times. Gee, wonder why?

This same crap has been circulating for years. Not true. Court cases have filed based on this same unfounded allegation. Thrown out, several times. Gee, wonder why?

From the way Bennett put this "A Constituent" asked for a copy, he makes a big deal over ONE constituent? I don't believe it, I think it is pure politics, HIS, even the Gov of AZ said she had seen the official copy and it should not be an issue.

http://factcheck.org/UploadedFiles/2011/04/birthcertificatelongform.pdf Have you ever seen "a typical" birth certificate from Hawaii? I have two in my possession, they look just like this one and they are a decade apart. Different color paper–oh but that is "typical" for most states.

Just another ridiculous attempt to suppress the will of the voters.

Actually he is on the ballot in Georgia that was overturned

Patricia? Are Obama's relatives running for President? NO! What proof do you have that Mrs. Obama spends taxpayer dollars on her own pleasure?

So where is the link from "Fox News" Butch to "prove" this since the "liberal media" is hiding it from us. ROFL

It looks like Patricia Iannuzzo reads the Enquirer or the Drudge report. Here's Yahoo's top answer to this crap as well: " There are a bunch of e-mails circulating complaining about how much Mrs. Obama spends, but she CAN'T spend anyone's money but her own, anymore than YOU can…these e-mails usually 'calculate' the cost of flying around on Air Force One, but neglect to mention (either deliberately or through shear ignorance) that Air Travel costs & Security costs for the President and his family are a FIXED AMOUNT…Security are on duty 24/7/365, and the several aircraft designated "Air Force One" are also fully-staffed & running (with at least one in the air) at ALL TIMES, whether there is a President or a President's wife on board…"

Velma there's really only two answers to your question. either you're frightfully stupid or a racist.

@Butch. the georgia case was dissmissed and the judges decision even notes that obama is a natural born citizen and is eligible to be prez.

A "copy "of proof of live birth is not a proof of where the birth took place only that it took place….I guess we already knew that— other candidates are fully vetted when they declare he wasn't

The problem is that if he has an issue with Obama's birthplace then he should take it through the Supreme Court first. Why does AZ just insist on making headlines for the wrong reasons lately?

Your argument is without merit. What everybody should know is that each State issues birth certificates for those BORN in their respective state. I'm sure you know, or at least you should know, that you can obtain a birth certificate from Ohio if you were born in New Mexico. So your statement is ridiculous. As to your other statement; I can tell you are another FOX viewer because of the way you make a statement as if it's proof. Typical of FOX "some people say" or "some experts believe", yeah right, which experts, what people? So just who are you referring to when you say "they"? Do you have source?

Hmmm, Drudge report? Enquirer maybe? Funny how no one wants to admit they watch FOX anymore, maybe because they're beginning to find out how stupid they sound when they talk to the rest of the world.

Not true. Obama is the only president who's ever released his birth certificate. And he did it twice. He's also the only president who has ever been asked to release it.

plus weren't Romney's parents born in Mexico?

Thank you Aaron, I would like to see someone, anyone, come up with another President that has been AS vetted as Obama. Name one other President that has had to produce a birth certificate in order to get on a ballot, especially one that is already in office!

Hawaii has answered this fool with a resounding, "Birth this".

Sounds like Ms Desmond is on Mr Obama's payroll!

What does race have to do with qualifing for a political seat. You dumb a**. He should have to show his birth certificate and you can't believe eveything you see on the internet. People like to play the race card and I am tired of hearing about it. Keep stoking the flames of stupidity dumb ass and see what the end result is. A third world country.

Who freaking cares? The fact that he failed miserably to help to economy should be proof enough that he shouldn't be president…and please stop saying it's Bush's fault. Most the expenses were things Obama started.

I do not believe obama was born in the united states, which makes him ineligible to be president. he was chosen by the zionist elite to assure that their interests are secured and the regulations that prevented what happened in 2008 are not put back in place; to assure the continuation of the plot to take over independent countries; the willingness to do whatever he is told to do by israel and the rothchild zionist. I despise obama. what he authorized america to do in lybia is shameful and disgusting. I hope the truth comes out and all of his policies are thrown out with him. nobel peace prize winner, my a$$. He is a war monger of the worst kind. he is in the same category as GWB.

HEY BENNETT! Did your parents have any children that lived?

GET EDUCATED , PRESIDENT CLINTON LEFT A SURPLUS AND BUSH FLUSHED IT DOWN THE TOILET TO FINANCE THE IRAQI WAR..CAN YOU COUNT 10 MILLION DOLLARS A MONTH, AND THAT WAS BEFORE PRESIDENT OBAMA BECAME PRESIDENT; WARS ARE NOT FREE; BY THE WAY BUSH ALSO STARTED A WAR IN AFGANISTAN WHERE HE SHOULD HAVE WENT IN THE FIRST PLACE INSTEAD OF LYING ABOUT WMD'S ; HIS FATHER'S ENEMY COULD HAVE WAITED HIS TURN.

Please explain how this phoney piece of s#&@ has a ssn from connecticut.he never lived there.

Good point, Greg. Especially since Rush Limbaugh is never wrong. Major sarc detection!

Please explain how it is that you are still spewing Orly Taitz conspiracy theories that have been debunked years ago. I guess news gets around really slow in your part of the woods. I'm going on memory here but hasn't that woman been thrown out of court by about 10 different judges for being completely off her rocker? She has been sanctioned and fined more than a few times and this is the person you are getting your information from? Issue died along time ago with Orly's argument in court, where have you been?

Where do you get your facts? " failed miserably to help to economy" can you come up with one reliable primary source of information that supports that statement as a fact? The problem with you people is that you have no idea what a "primary source" is. Do you want me to explain it to you?

I volunteered.

figures. . .

Keep telling yourself that this is not a race issue…

Keep telling yourself that this is not a race issue…

It sited a case; which I happen not to agree with that it makes no diff if his father was a US citizen the time of his birth; he would still be a natural born citizen; that is not how the Constitution reads however; I feel this should go to the Supreme Court; and a matter of point is if Bush had done this he would be out; the media would make sure of this; they would not let his birth certificate or the fact of his father not a US citizen lie; but because it is Obama it is ok! Well it is not ok!

Why does everything come back to racist with you guys? Do you like President Bush? If so then you are racist!!!! Works both ways you know; I am a grandmother of 3 little beautiful girls; mother is white, father is black; just as our president and our their birth certificate it reads WHITE

So does that make me racist against my own GRANDCHILDREN?

Lisa it is not a race issue with me; so get over yourself; I do not like the man; did not like Bill Clinton either and I think he is WHITE; just because I do not like someone does not mean I dislike the color of their skin; it does however mean I do not like the man!! If you told a black person that did not like President Bush it was all about HIS SKIN COLOR AND RACE HOW WOULD THAT WORK FOR YOU? It would not; that only works when they are black and I am sick of it; he is no more black then my grand kids; he was raise as a WHITE MAN! Who went to HARVARD; HE IS NOT SOME POOR BLACK MAN AS HE WANTS EVERYONE TO THINK!!! He uses his race to benefit him and that is wrong; the color of his skin has nothing to do with his abilities; and if it does it is sad that any person would think that; makes them wrong; I know great men who are black and HE IS NOT ONE OF THEM! I also know white men that I have no respect for! Because of their ACTIONS; not their skin color! So use the race card on someone who cares! Think we all knew he was black and I think Mr. President knew this too; has not stopped him from going to Harvard or getting a law degree or becoming the President of the USA; so I think he is doing just fine; he doesn't need to use his race card!!!!!

Glad to hear that you know "great" men that are black! And if the president did indeed use the color of his skin to
benefit himself, I say, good for him! White men have been doing it for years!

I'm prejudice against Republicans but I dearly love my (Republican) brothers. But I still dislike the rest of them. So it is entirely possible to be prejudice and still love your grandchildren.

I for one think color of skin is not important; it is the person that counts; and using the color of your skin to get ahead is wrong; was wrong in the past and is wrong now! Any person who has done this is not a "good" "great" person! They have to rely on "color" to get things done; not on "who" they are! Many great people have done so without saying a word about their "color"; and believe it or not years ago; people did not have access as they do now to know peoples "color" to make those judgements; they just had his/her works! And white men have not been doing this for years! Thank you very much! I am a white women; that has been discriminated all my life because I was a women; guess I should use that to get somewhere; or learn from it and grow and become a better person; I would never use the fact that I am a "women" to benefit myself! Just as our president should not use his skin color to advance himself; he should use his works! If he can not get ahead on his merits; and is only elected because of his skin color; guess that says it all doesn't it!

I really dont think you can compare a woman being discriminated against to the discrimination that black people have to endure throughout their entire
life, but thats just me. The whole point of my first comment was that even though you personally may not think this is about race, Im not naive enough to believe that BS. Trying to keep Obama off the AZ ballot has everything to do with race. Thats the reality our sad country.

The fact that the national debt has increased by trillions since Obama entered office should be proof enough. Also, being condescending to people doesn't help your argument.

Kristin, what you just repeated is exactly what the problem is. You need to learn more about primary sources for your information and stop watching FOX. FACT: The federal deficit, taxes, and spending has DECREASED under President Obama. I know you don't like the facts, but that does not change them. http://blogs.detroitnews.com/politics/2012/05/16/romney-forgets-the-facts-in-campaign-speeches/

Look, if you want an argument, I could look up the "facts". The problem with debating politics is exactly with sources. To begin with, I won't trust your sources and you won't trust mine. I don't usually debate on the Internet anymore for exactly this reason.

Now what are going to come up with? What it always boils down to, when faced with the TRUTH, is some ad hominem attack because the facts can't be countered. So I suppose now that your understanding has been proven incorrect, you will just say something like "I don't like him" or "I just don't trust him" or "he wasn't born here" none of which has anything to do with how well he runs this Country. You may like the fact that, if not for Bush, we would not be in this economic depression right now.

I'm a history major and I can tell you that each time a Republican takes office the deficit soars and it's up the Democrat behind him to clean it up. This always makes it harder to push through Democratic strategies because they have to pay the bills left behind first. BTW it's not paying the bills that drive up the deficit.

And who am I to argue with someone who has all the facts, hmm? I don't use arguments like "I don't like him" and so on. I never profess to have all the answers, and in fact update my political beliefs all the time. Another thing is, I don't have the Internet right now, all I have is my phone. It's very difficult to copy and paste links with it. I also never said I liked anything Bush did, and he started the war. However, the war was not the most expensive thing. Social programs drive up the debt, and I definitely do not like the Bush social programs. Since Obama's been in office though, the debt has more than skyrocketed. I can't remember the numbers, but I've definitely seen it posted more than once.

Both sides agree on the basic primary sources for this information they include: the Central Budget Office (CBO), the Census Bureau, the Government Printing Office (GPO). The figures produced by these and a few other accounting agencies are considered reliable by both Democrats and Republicans because they are "primary sources" and they are the only ones whose job it is to determine such figures.

Also many top universities that study all of these primary sources and put them together in colorful charts like the ones that get passed around. These are "secondary sources", not as good as the original source but sometimes easier to decipher. These are the kinds of sources you are talking about. The ones put out by the Heritage Foundation or Move-on. I don't rely on those for my information and neither should you. Stick to the ones I mentioned for the BEST possible sources on the subject. If you are REALLY concerned about having the correct data then you have to do some research. I recommend learning about sources for you in particular since you don't seem to know the difference. Oh, and stop watching FOX it rots your brain. http://www.lib.berkeley.edu/doemoff/govinfo/federal/gov_ushist.html

I love how you assume I watch Fox news. I do not, in fact. I don't even have cable. No, all the numbers I have seen have been on the Internet. When I have Internet for my laptop again I'll have to show you those posts.

Under the current administration. Fact: The deficit has decreased by 3%. Fact: Federal spending has decreased by 5%. Fact: Private sector jobs are up and public sector jobs are down. All of these numbers are from the Central Budget Office. This is the same agency that the Republicans rely on and quote as well, but only when their numbers look good for their side. However, they do not dispute these figures when it comes right down to it on the floor of the Senate because that would mean they would call into questions the few figures that actually in their favor. Trust me, this is the most accurate source for this information.

Oh? When did this happen?

Don't take my word for it. Look for yourself. http://www.usgovernmentdebt.us/federal_deficit_chart.html

Then, hopefully, you will stop repeating inaccurate information.

Here in Maine we can do nothing with out a certified copy of our birth certificate . Mr . President take and show them your certificate when you go to each state and campaign . So should all who are running!

Enough already with the race card! I'm so sick of it. I am part Indian 30% and heinz 57 every thing else . I don't care your color. I just care that you are who you say you are . FOR the People not the Pocket book.

Heinz 57 is what most of us are . Get over the race thing. If the man can wear the suit then that is good enough. But he must fallow the Law.
