Arizona Secretary of State Ken Bennett backed off his
birther demands on Wednesday, going so far as to say that he considered
the matter of President Barack Obama's ballot eligibility "closed."
On Tuesday night, Bennett, also an Arizona co-chair for Mitt Romney's presidential campaign, apologized
for creating controversy and feeding a birther frenzy by requesting
that Hawaiian officials verify the president's birth documents.
"If I embarrassed the state, I apologize, but that certainly wasn't my intent," Bennett, who had earlier threatened to keep Obama off the ballot if his inquiry wasn't met, said during an interview with radio station KTAR.
He withdrew further on Wednesday in the wake of Hawaii's eventual verification of his request.
"At the request of numerous constituents, I merely asked Hawaiian
officials to verify the information contained within President Obama's
original birth certificate," Bennett said. "They have complied with the request and I consider the matter closed."

I can't say that I blame someone who was in the position to make a difference but received an anonymous phone call threatening their family.
It will take a Judge who is near retirement that doesn't have a lot of family members to finally allow the evidence in court, no matter what the threats are.
If their family is out of harms way, and they have adequate security until the truth is revealed, there's an outside chance the people will prevail.
Outside of that, we'll just have to wait until the DNC tries to nominate him, file 100's of lawsuits and petition the Supreme Court to finally agree to hear the case in October.
There is more than enough evidence for probable cause.
Because his record just plain sucks.
ANY person in their rational mind would have given up a paper copy, four years ago.
There is no logical reason one would resist doing so if they could put it to rest that easily.
That would be akin to having a video tape that would exonerate oneself of a crime they were falsely accused of committing, yet refuse to bring it to court and submit it as evidence.
Yes there is; it's quite simple. Any logical person would have realized how smart his decision was actually, because it made people like you look erratic. It also shows how some people can't separate facts from fiction. Going on a wild goose chase for a birth certificate was stupid; all that time wasted instead of talking about his policies have made people like you lose credibility. It also shows you are gullible to believe anything that is against Obama instead of focusing on the facts in front of you.
Oh so now you take the word of a politician as truthful, but the birth certificate; no.
Thank you for proving my point; you guys wasted time with this crap. If Obama wins, pat yourself on the back for helping him out.
He may choose to stick around for a while to inflict as much damage as possible and announce a family vacation from which they never return.
Logic from www.reference.com
1.
the science that investigates the principles governing correct or reliable inference.
2.
a particular method of reasoning or argumentation: We were unable to follow his logic.
3.
the system or principles of reasoning applicable to any branch of knowledge or study.
4.
reason or sound judgment, as in utterances or actions: There wasn't much logic in her move.
5.
convincing forcefulness; inexorable truth or persuasiveness: the irresistible logic of the facts.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Logic means one can look at a set of circumstances, correlate them, and INFER (deduce) the comparison of that set of circumstances to the current set of circumstances.
1. Focusing on the Obama Birth Certificate, pushes Moderates, and Independent voters away.
2. It make one seem unstable gives, Obama the distraction he needs from his polices.
3. While going on this wild goose chase; Obama has the time he needs to energize his base, and asset the competition.
4. The polices that even Liberals would agree to as being harmful are being left out while you guys focus on this ridiculous claim. SOPA, NDAA, Economy and a host of other issues resonant with the average citizen, not Obama birth certificate.
5. It's been investigated and beaten to death since 2008 and all details prove that he is indeed an American citizen. The investigation were done, yet Birthers still pursue the issue which is a lack of logic.
Hopefully this will clarify the issue for you.
Obviously we know elections aren't won on honesty and integrity, but since people aren't welling to choose a candidate that isn't from the corrupt parties we have; we are left with the lesser of two evils. That is on the American people conscious and fault as an whole. No one is innocent in this; we've been choosing the lesser of two evils since Woodrow Wilson and some can even make a good argument as to it happening before hand.
