Arizona Secretary of State Threatens To Remove Obama From Ballot - Polidicks

[quote][b]Arizona Secretary of State Threatens to Remove Obama from Ballot[/b] by KEITH KOFFLER on MAY 18, 2012, 8:25 AM Arizona Secretary of State Ken Bennett is threatening to keep President Obama’s name off the state’s ballot in November unless he receives confirmation from Hawaii that it has a valid birth certificate on file for him. Bennett, who spoke to Arizona radio host Mike Broomhead Thursday, said he requested the confirmation eight weeks ago and has not gotten it. Hawaii, he said, does not have to supply a certified copy of the birth certificate, merely send him an email confirming that it has one. Asked by Broomhead if he would remove Obama’s name from the ballot if Hawaii fails to comply, Bennett said: “That’s possible. Or the other option would be that I would ask all the candidates, including the president, to submit a certified copy of their birth certificate.” Despite overwhelming evidence that Obama was born in Hawaii, the issue of his birth continues to dog him. Thursday, Breitbart Big Government reported on a promotional booklet by Obama’s own literary agency listing him as having been born in Kenya. Bennett said Hawaii law permits government officials to request verification of possession of a birth certificate in lieu of a certified copy. “They could say yes tomorrow and the whole thing goes away,” Bennett said. “If they can’t say yes to that simple question, then it makes me wonder if we have to take it to another level. One way or another, we have to have some simple verification that people are qualified for the office if they’re going to be on the ballot here in Arizona.” Bennett asserted that he is not a “birther” and denied accusations that he is playing to the birther crowd in Arizona because he wants to run for governor. But Bennett also hedged in stating his belief that Obama was Hawwaii-born. “I believe the president was born in Hawaii – or at least I hope he was,” Bennett said. Arizona, with its 11 electoral votes, is an important 2012 presidential battleground state. A Real Clear Politics average of recent polling in the state has Mitt Romney ahead by only four points. One thing I’d like to make clear. This blog believes Obama was born in Hawaii. But it also believes threats by the Arizona Secretary of State to exclude the president from the ballot are newsworthy.[/quote] [b]Source:[/b] [url]http://www.whitehousedossier.com/2012/05/18/ariz-secretary-state-threatens-remove-obama-ballot/[/url] I don't know if I am totally surprised with stuff like this coming from Arizona anymore.

BREAKING NEWS: All sane and sensible part of the US threatens to remove Arizona from existence.

it doesn't sound entirely unreasonable that he just wants to know if Hawaii are holding Obama's birth certificate, but it's fairly obvious that he's just kind of hoping they don't so he can remove him

[QUOTE=NielsGade;36014930]Seems fair. If Obama wasn't born in the US he can't be president. It's the law.[/QUOTE] And it's been proven countless times he was. This all smacks of subtle rascism to me - "He's black, therefore he must have born in a different country!"

[QUOTE=NielsGade;36014930]Seems fair. If Obama wasn't born in the US he can't be president. It's the law.[/QUOTE] It's also a very dumb law.

Oddly enough, Ken Barnett is also a co-chair on Mitt Romney's campaign team.

I'm not from America but apparently Arizona is a retarded place. Am I right?

I didn't know Hawaiian birth certificates had a field for which island you were born on. That's nifty.

[QUOTE=Camundongo;36014981]And it's been proven countless times he has. This all smacks of subtle rascism to me - "He's black, therefore he must have born in a different country!"[/QUOTE] No, hes the one who's racist, trying to make us whites look like trash, well we aren't.

[QUOTE=NielsGade;36014930]Seems fair. If Obama wasn't born in the US he can't be president. It's the law.[/QUOTE] Just FYI, it's not fair because there is absolutely nothing to indicate that he is not a natural-born citizen and removing him from the ballot would give an unfair advantage to Romney (who this guy supports).

[QUOTE=NielsGade;36014930]Seems fair. If Obama wasn't born in the US he can't be president. It's the law.[/QUOTE] You do know that the first seven presidents of the USA were never born in the country, right?

[QUOTE=Sobotnik;36015362]You do know that the first few presidents of the USA were never born in the country, right?[/QUOTE] Yes, and many of them also wrote the constitution. They made exceptions for people born before the US existed.

C'mon, we even have his official birth video: [video=youtube;2bqEn8AXzJ4]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2bqEn8AXzJ4[/video]

[QUOTE=ASmellyOgre;36015381]Yes, and many of them also wrote the constitution. They made exceptions for people born before the US existed.[/QUOTE] Indeed, but the idea that only people born in the USA can be president is a bit silly.

[QUOTE=Sobotnik;36015903]Indeed, but the idea that only people born in the USA can be president is a bit silly.[/QUOTE] You don't have to be born in the US to be president, you just need to be born with citizenship. I was born here in Norway but I'm eligible to run for presidency thanks to being born with dual citizenship.

Arizona: The New Texas

[QUOTE=ASmellyOgre;36015350]Just FYI, it's not fair because there is absolutely nothing to indicate that he is not a naturalized citizen and removing him from the ballot would give an unfair advantage to Romney (who this guy supports).[/QUOTE] Obama isn't a naturalised citizen, that's someone from a foreign country who was later granted citizenship Obama was born in the United States. In fact, to become President you have to be a natural-born citizen, not naturalised

Breaking news: Hawaii gives him the birth certificate he ignores it

Arizona what the fuck has gotten into you lately?

[QUOTE=NielsGade;36014930]Seems fair. If Obama wasn't born in the US he can't be president. It's the law.[/QUOTE] There should be a law against idiots running for president and idiots voting aswell, but then we'd have half the people in America prohibited of voting and close to no one to vote for either.

No one cares, Arizona

[QUOTE=dass;36016564]I wonder how no one flips out anymore about the Hussein part.[/QUOTE] They were around election time. Looks like it's happening again. This is so fucking stupid.

[QUOTE=NielsGade;36014930]Seems fair. If Obama wasn't born in the US he can't be president. It's the law.[/QUOTE] i'm fairly certain Hawaii is a state and not a country.

I'm starting to wonder if all of the idiots have just decided gather in Arizona. Quick! Build a wall along its state borders and contain the stupidity!
