Arizona Secretary of State Ken Bennett kills the Birther drama & Apologizes to Arizona

I guess someone woke up with a horse head in their bed. After making a big stink over Obama's birth certificate, Dummy of State Ken Bennett backs off his birther claim.

“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.

And those constituents are crazy, there is no need to cater to crazy. If Ken was smart, he would stop all together. He could end up in deeper mess.

Hawaii Responds to AZ Secretary of State Ken Bennett’s Birther request - WATCH

In Arizona: Secretary of State Ken Bennett wants proof of President Barack Obama's citizenship before he's on the ballot

Here's another fool who's going to have foolishness as a legacy. Arizona Secretary of State Ken Bennett wants proof that President Obama is an American before putting his name on the ballot.

From Yahoo News:

 Most Republican critics of Obama have given up pushing widely discredited long-running allegations that he was not born in the United States.

Bennett said he is attempting to confirm that Obama's name can appear on Arizona's presidential ballot, the Arizona Republic newspaper said.

While confirming on Friday that he had made the request, Bennett said he did not buy into the "birther" belief.

"First, I have been on the record since 2009 that I believe the president was born in Hawaii. I am not a 'birther,'" he said in a statement.

"At the request of a constituent, I asked the state of Hawaii for a for a verification in lieu of certified copy. We're merely asking them to officially confirm they have the president's birth certificate in their possession and are awaiting their response," he said.

The White House has denied repeated claims that Obama was not born in the United States.

In April 2011, Obama released a longer version of his birth certificate to try to put to rest speculation that he was not born in the country as required by the U.S. Constitution to become president.

The Arizona Republic said Bennett made the request about eight weeks ago and communicated with Hawaii officials as early as four weeks ago.

Arizona needs to be under some surveillance.
