Hawaii Verifies Obama’s Birth For Arizona Secretary Of State

[Tx4obama]

A Hawaii official announced late Tuesday that the state gave Arizona’s top elections official the verification he wanted showing President Barack Obama was indeed born there in 1961.

The announcement came just hours after Arizona Secretary of State Ken Bennett backed away from his threats to keep Obama off the November ballot and apologized for embarrassing his own state with a conspiracy theory-fueled investigation into whether the president was really a natural born U.S. citizen.

Here’s the full statement Joshua Wisch, the special assistant to the Hawaii attorney general, released at 11:35 p.m. ET:

Regarding the inquiry from the Arizona Secretary of State, Ken Bennett, requesting a verification of birth for President Obama from the State of Hawaii, Department of Health, the matter has been resolved. We have received information from Secretary Bennett that satisfied our requirements, and have therefore provided his office with a verification of birth for President Obama.

3. No, this only is further proof of his ineligibilty

Irrational beliefs are strengthened by counterfactual information.

The conspiracy mind, given a new piece of data, only finds further "inconsistencies" which themselves become a part of the conspiracy narrative.

4. If this does not satisify the birthers then they should be taxed for every time they waste time

of the officials of Hawaii. It needs to cost enough to hurt those abusers.

5. Why give in to their bullshit?

Every time you even recognize these idiots you give them power. The issue was settled long ago. They should have dared this fuck to try to take the President off the ballot.
