Arizona Advances ‘Birther Bill’

He needs to show his Indonesian Barry Soetero paper once and for call.

Time to threaten AZ again with the loss of future Super Bowls, BCS Championship Games etc. as a reminder to constrain their racist tendencies.

I will reserve judgement until I have examined all the evidence.

LOL…. Wow! The entire state of Arizona is composed of “Birthers”!… amazing… LOL

When the truth about Obama’s foreign birth comes out and eventually it will, how many of the posters will sound like Juliet Huddy of the Faux News on the WMD lies, whining like little girls “we were fooled, we were lied too”. The birth certificate Obama showed on fightthesmears.com was laser printed, any laser printers in the 1960s? What hospital was he born in can’t produce a record either. His grandmother made an oral declaration to the Bureau of Vital Statistics and put newspaper announcements of the birth that he was born in Hawaii. Doesn’t mean he was born here.

Also, McCain was born on a military base to American parents. How many kids do you think are born overseas on military bases every year? Try telling their soldier/sailor/airmen parents that their kids aren’t really American. Please, for the love of God, go do some research on the law before you spout off again.

O-kay… john kesrouan, … I’ll bite but I have a question for you. What would you say if it were proven with 100% and without a doubt (of which it already has been) that the President’s birth certificate is indeed legitimate? How would YOU respond?

I wonder where the tea partiers are? Isnt this a waste of taxpayer money?? I wonder if they are asking to see John McCain’s birthcertificate too? I think by 1961 Hawaii had become a state. President Obama’s certificate is just as valid as the one anyone gets from the county office of their birth. No one ever gets the original, anytime you or I request a verified copy, it is just that “a copy”. Some people are just nuts..

Wait a minute? How could Palin run as V.P. I mean I never saw her birth certificate, and Alaska is the 49th state, hmm and very close to Russia… Hmm. I wonder how old that lady really is under all that makeup. I wonder if she is hiding her Russian communist roots with her very outspoken behavior..HAHAHHA. Can anyone from Arizona see how silly things can seem, once you start spinning and twisting for anything that may stick..haha

It’s ridiculous. He’s shown his birth certificate -he showed provided it in 2008. AND one would have to be crazy enough to believe that his birth announcement was ‘planted’ in the Honolulu paper 40+ years ago, from Kenya, just in the chance that he wanted to run for president someday. These people are delusional..
From FactCheck.org “We beg to differ. FactCheck.org staffers have now seen, touched, examined and photographed the original birth certificate. We conclude that it meets all of the requirements from the State Department for proving U.S. citizenship. Claims that the document lacks a raised seal or a signature are false. We have posted high-resolution photographs of the document as “supporting documents” to this article. Our conclusion: Obama was born in the U.S.A. just as he has always said.”

I really am beginning to question what the average IQ is in this nation. It’s like there is some epidemic of stupid people.

This is hilarious, the state where John McCain, who was born on Panamanian soil hails from. Must have gotten a little too much sun down there, heads are clearly starting to bake.

They are a laughing stock. The State of Hawaii has verified the authenticity of one of their own birth certificates, but Ken Bennett of Arizona is really the only one qualified to determine its legitimacy? I think they need to pass a law that IQ tests are required before anyone in that state is allowed to vote.

If anyone checked the history records of past presidents, they were not all born of this country. Being born in this country should not be an issue right now… “Living” in the country a president is going to “lead” should be made into law.
On the other hand, If lawmakers in Arizona would like to make this new law, I think it seems sensible and logical enough to acknowledge that one who runs a country, should be from that country. I do not like the idea that Ahmadinejad (to name just one) could possibly come over here and run for president…

I still would like to know how he got a college grant as a foreign student?
Why are you guys so afraid of his birth certificate? Why isn’t it prudent to require a birth certificate to run for president, especially when the constitution requires the age restriction. It would end the arguing. Is that so bad?

If two or three major states required documention to be on their ballet then it would be interesting to see if he ran for a second term. This is not a state requirement….it is constitutional. The states would be mandating the federal requirement.

The author has crafted about the Arizona bill.

Even crackpots deserve to have a state they can call their own.

How can one be the President of America and not be vetted? It still baffles me at the illogic and myopia of the people. The level of ignorance in our country called America is astonishing. We have lots of functional illiterates in our midst.

Not every Arizonan is in favor of this! I for one think this is a total waste of time and money.

These ELECTED officials in Arizona are truly sad, and PATHETIC. Between the F.B.I, the CIA, SECRET SERVICE, HOMELAND SECURITY, US MARSHAL, and FOX NEWS, President Obama has got too be the CRAFTIEST document forger in the world. The Republicans are getting crazier by the hour. I’m beginning to believe they’re too UNFIT to hold office due to MENTAL DETERIORATION.

having moved to arizona from a more civilized state nothing surprises me. the citizens of arizona make the fictional characters in the movie deliverance look like liberals. since i put an obama bumper sticker on my car i’ve been threatened to be beat up or shot on six different occasions and once some old guy tried to hit me with his car. boycot arizona

Stupid Arizona but then again they keep re-electing John McCain.

Arizona citizens should be ashamed of their legislatures. I am so glad I am not an Arizonian, because then I would have to hide my head in shame at these supposedly sane elected officials. I must only hope that somehow all the heat exposure that the citizens have had has fried their brains.

it really doesn’t matter where he was born; here is the part of the civil code that covers “natural born” citizenship. “Currently, Title 8 of the U.S. Code fills in the gaps left by the Constitution. Section 1401 defines the following as people who are “citizens of the United States at birth:”
* Anyone born inside the United States *
* Any Indian or Eskimo born in the United States, provided being a citizen of the U.S. does not impair the person’s status as a citizen of the tribe
* Any one born outside the United States, both of whose parents are citizens of the U.S., as long as one parent has lived in the U.S.
* Any one born outside the United States, if one parent is a citizen and lived in the U.S. for at least one year and the other parent is a U.S. national
* Any one born in a U.S. possession, if one parent is a citizen and lived in the U.S. for at least one year
* Any one found in the U.S. under the age of five, whose parentage cannot be determined, as long as proof of non-citizenship is not provided by age 21
* Any one born outside the United States, if one parent is an alien and as long as the other parent is a citizen of the U.S. who lived in the U.S. for at least five years (with military and diplomatic service included in this time)
* A final, historical condition: a person born before 5/24/1934 of an alien father and a U.S. citizen mother who has lived in the U.S.
* There is an exception in the law — the person must be “subject to the jurisdiction” of the United States. This would exempt the child of a diplomat, for example, from this provision.
Anyone falling into these categories is considered natural-born, and is eligible to run for President or Vice President. These provisions allow the children of military families to be considered natural-born, for example.”
obama’s mother was a citizen born in kansas, who definitely lived on the us for more than five years. and that, boys and girls, is all that is required for anyone to qualify as a “natural born citizen.” that he was born is hawaii is a bonus, but not technically necessary.
now, can we just let this one go?

I live in AZ at present and I am embarrassed. Contemplating moving back to reality, Anytown, USA.

One more reason to know who to vote for in 2010 and 2012. Republicans are so stupid, it’s embarrassing!

I guess factsareproblematic for factsareproblematic.

Listen if Arizona are doing this to try and prevent from happening again the stupidity that followed the question of President Obama’s birth then ok. If they are doing it to carry it on and still question his birth then they are idiots. What more proof do they need? His birth certificate has been produced. Newspapers have even produced his birth notices. The most senior health official and co in Hawaii have verifed all documents as legitimate. etc etc. Heck even Bill O’Reilly says he was born in The USA. What more do they want? Talk about clutching at invisible straws and embarrassing yourself in the process.

It has already been proven he was born at Kapi’olani Medical Center for Women & Children in Hawaii.
If it was true heck we would need him to be President – I mean a bi-racial family that started scheming 40 plus years ago to gain the Presidency through subterfuge are the sort of committed geniuses you need running the country . I mean that is clever to the max.
Let me ask this question to the doubters – What PROOF do you have he was born elsewhere ?

Finally, someone with some horse sense!!!

Show me the CarFax!
It’s very simple, show a copy of the ORIGINAL birth certificate. Just like John McCain did when folks questioned his right to run for president.

I requested a copy of my son’s birth certificate from Kentucky. I got a water-downed laser copy. It’s not a true copy by any stretch of the imagination.

Let me ask this question to the doubters – What PROOF do you have he was born elsewhere ?

I find it odd that the state of Hawaii and the nation of Kenya both found it necessary to restrict access to any information about the birthplace of Barack Obama.

And they probably still believe the Earth is actually flat and Elvis is still alive, too!

Obama has NOT revealed the long-form birth certificate which shows the hospital and doctor of delivery. WHY NOT? Just show it!

Any candidate with the potential to become president must go through a very extensive background check. If Barack Obama is not eligible to be president…it is because the security of the Bush Administration failed again.

One thing we know now that wasn’t readily apparent before the internet – you can see the depth and breadth of Republican stupidity from coast to coast.

Dosen’t matter where the guy was born he is worse for this country than even carter was.

Here’s what the Hawaii Department of Home Lands – the department charged with administering such programs – says on its website:
“In order to process your application, DHHL utilizes information that is found only on the ORIGINAL Certificate of Live Birth, which is either black or green. This is a more complete record of your birth than the Certification of Live Birth (a computer generated printout: OHSM 1.1 Rev 11/01 LASER ). Submitting the original Certificate of Live Birth will save you time and money since the computer-generated Certification requires additional verification by DHHL.”
Didn’t make that up. You can Google the entire quote and you will find it on the DHHL website.
If the State of Hawaii DOES NOT accept a computer printout, as proof that an individual was actually born in Hawaii, WHY SHOULD WE!

And you wonder why the republicans party is the minority party. This have racist written all on it. Now that we have a black president, why not make sure any other minority running for president show their Birth Certificate. No white President have every had to do this so why NOW! RAICST IS MOTIVATIONS BEHIND THIS BILL!

I am embarassed to say that I live in Arizona and I think this is the “What’s Next?” of attacks on President Obama. Arizona is a Republican state and they think they can rule the world starting here with McCain as the leader. They are also suing Obama’s medical bill. This is as low as you can go but Arizona will go lower. Disgusting!
