Arizona Secretary of State Ken Bennett said Tuesday night that he has received information from Hawaii that proves President Obama's American birth and satisfies Arizona's requirements for having the president on the upcoming election ballot.And of course he can't share it with the rest of us because BHO is a private citizen.
A Hawaii official sent Bennett's office verification of birth for President Obama on Tuesday, according to both Bennett and Hawaii officials.
Bennett said the issue is now resolved from his point of view. He has cancelled a planned Wednesday news conference where he was expected to discuss the issue.
"I'm happy that we got what we asked for and that's what I was expecting all along," Bennett said Tuesday night.
Amazing how much cooperation you can get when you have someone's electoral nuts in a vice.
Bennett made national news earlier this month when he asked Hawaii to verify Obama's birthplace to ensure the President is eligible to appear on Arizona's November ballot.
His decision reignited the simmering birther movement, though Bennett has said he doesn't associate with the birthers.
On Tuesday Joshua A. Wisch, special assistant to the attorney general in Hawaii, said the matter had been resolved.
It was resolved a long time ago. But we still have to deal with the issue of the Golfer in Chief presenting himself as being born in Kenya as a matter of political expedience, and how that goes to show what he is willing to do in order to obtain whatever political goal he has in mind.
"We have received information from Secretary Bennett that satisfied our requirement and has therefore provided his office with a verification of birth for President Obama," Wisch wrote in an email.
