AZ SOS isn't convinced Obama was born in US--may strike him from ballot

[WI_DEM]

SOS=Secretary of State and/or Sack of Shit.

Arizona Secretary of State Ken Bennett (R) told KFYI he's not entirely convinced President Obama was really born in the United States and suggested he could be knocked off the state's presidential ballot.

Said Bennett: "I'm not a birther. I believe the president was born in Hawaii -- or at least I hope he was. But my responsibility as secretary of state is to make sure the ballots in Arizona are correct and that those people whose names are on the ballot have met the qualifications for the office they are seeking."

Bennett said he has been trying to get officials in Hawaii to verify the president's birth certificate for the last eight weeks.

10. "I'm not a birther"

but I must pretend complete ignorance of facts in order to appeal to the right wing voters if I want to be the governator.

These idiots never cease to shock me.
