Oh what a tangled web we weave…

Mike Walsh was a guest on Jim’s show today, and he told us of a situation happening in Arizona.  Secretary of State, Ken Bennett, has asked the state of Hawaii to confirm that the state has a valid birth certificate for President Obama.  Arizona doesn’t want the certificate, just confirmation that it exists.

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.’

The request seems more than reasonable particularly in light of recent revelations that a 1991 bio of the President, authored by the President’s literary agent, declared the President’s birthplace as Kenya.

Again, I personally believe the President was born in Hawaii, but, as they say, oh what a tangled web we weave when first we try to decide to deceive.

    SOS, I see that this issue does not bother you as you continue to stoke the fire.

      This fire has been smoldering under The King Of All He Surveys butt throughout his reign.? ‘Bout time he gets burned.

      When a man goes out of his way to cover up a personal history that every American has a right to know about, then your argument obviously falls flat on it’s face. ?If Obama hadn’t forced the issue in the first place then he wouldn’t be feeling the heat now. ?It doesn’t matter how hard you try to cover up your lies, they’ll always be found out!?

    The lies always catch up to you at some point.?? Unfortunately, with ?bama, it is hard to tell just what is fact and what is fiction anymore…

    In the absence of any facts you get what you plant, the sprouting tree of speculation.? Just as a note, the traction that this is getting now is in direct proportion to his loss of support in critical circles. Wait and see for more cracks in the Cult of O’sonality. ?

    Hopefully those who had “buyers remorse” after the last Presidential election will have a higher level of caveat emptor – “buyer beware” this time.
    Fool me once, shame on you.? Fool me twice, shame on me.?

    It’s been my experience that publishers have “fun” with author bios.? I always check the copyright page to see the author’s name – it is so often different than the one on the cover.? However, I am referring to my trashy romance historical fiction novels – not a book which was supposed to be written by someone as august as Mr. O.? I’d expect more effort in telling the truth about him.? I just can’t see his mom getting herself to Kenya.? Who’d pay for it??

    Nothing will be resolved, it is not advantageous for the Regime to answer these questions. It is more effective to have them remain semi-facts or part-truths to have our side sit and spin our wheels. The democrats can not keep lying at the rate they are and not have something of the real truth shake loose.
    No, the WH spinmeisters just want to keep everyone from talking about just how bad a president obama is and how he has no record to run on. Think he’s going to try that “hope . . .” thing again? We’d all like him to come out with a “Gee, you have to trust me” or “Come on, what’s another four years” slogan.?
    Our message should be concentrating on his horrible record and (total lack of ) accomplishments, not on the birth certificate (a red herring) nor on VP Joe (a party hack) or any flack put up by the dems.
    Obama is the problem, replacing him is the solution.
