Arizona Secretary of State claims Obama pretended to be born in Kenya to get into college.

He also claims Obama has spent $2 million to cover up his records. Where do they get this shit from?

BTW...he's also co-chairman of Mitt Romney's presidential campaign in Arizona.

Arizona official: Obama pretended to be born in Kenya

By Brian Montopoli

Arizona Secretary of State Ken Bennett is suggesting that President Obama lied about his birthplace in order to improve his odds in getting into college.

Bennett, the co-chairman of Mitt Romney's presidential campaign in Arizona, recently told Republicans there that he believes the president "was fibbing about being born in Kenya when he was trying to get into college and doing things like writing a book and on and on and on."

"So if there was weird stuff going on I think it was back in his college days," Bennett continued. "Because I think he has spent one and a half or two million dollars through attorneys to have all of the college records and all of that stuff sealed. So if you're spending money to seal something, that's probably where the hanky panky was going on."

Last month, Bennett suggested he might keep Mr. Obama off the Arizona ballot in November without further evidence the president was be born in the United States. While insisting he was not a birther, Bennett said his "responsibility as secretary of state is to make sure the ballots in Arizona are correct and that those people whose names are on the ballot have met the qualifications for the office they are seeking."

When has the president EVER said he was born in Kenya? Idiots have been saying this for a few years now, while the president has steadfastly contended he was born Hawaii. Now they're saying he lied about being born in Kenya? WTF

what's the name of the drug these people are addicted to? They have dug through President Obama's yard with backhoes, shovels, buckets, small pots and pans. Now they're sifting with forks. Please put them away. They are scaring the shit out of me.

First he is born in Kenya and had it covered up, now he pretended to be born in Kenya and paid to cover it up.

Didn't he just say he wasn't born in Kenya?

they would get a stubborn some times and even on occasion break a law or two. Remember Nixon?

This new teaparty party, the replacement for the republican party is way over the top.

They just make stuff up and expect people to believe it. What is worse they make stuff up out of whole cloth and procead to believe it themselves.
Reality is anything they want it to be today.
Seriously, could you imagine doing business with the likes of Ken Bennett.
I could picture him buying a new car and bringing it back after a year because the wings fell off and you told him the wings had a 5 year warranty.
Wings? Cars don't gots no stinking wings.
But the likes of Ken Burns would try to convince the world that the wings were covered for 5 years.
