Ariz. Sec. of State Bennett will not verify Romney's birth certificate

Source: Arizona Daily Star

Secretary of State Ken Bennett will not verify the birth records of Republican presidential hopeful Mitt Romney, at least not now - and possibly not ever - despite an earlier public commitment to do so.

Bennett said Thursday that he has received requests from Arizona residents to perform the same kind of verification through Michigan about Romney's birth certificate as he did through Hawaii for President Obama. And he acknowledged he had agreed to make such a check if he got a request.

But Bennett is now saying he needs something else: an allegation by an Arizona law enforcement agency that there is a question about the veracity of a candidate's claimed birth certificate.

He said that was always a precondition of looking into Romney or anyone else. He just never disclosed it before.

head out of your ass and explain why you requested either Obama's BS or Romney's in the first place.

Somebody was putting pressure on you to once again go after President Obama's BS.
