    Hawaii Responds to AZ Sec. of State’s Obama Birth Certificate Threat

    By Jonathon M. Seidl | The Blaze – Mon, May 21, 2012

    On Friday, Arizona Secretary of State Ken Bennett threatened to keep President Obama‘s name off the Arizona ballot if he didn’t get verification regarding Obama’s Hawaiian birth certificate. And now Hawaii has responded.

    “I’m not a birther, I believe the president was born in Hawaii — or at least I hope he was,” Bennett told KFYI-RADIO’s Mike Broomhead last week. “My 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.”

    Hawaii’s attorney general has apparently given a response, according to KTVK-TV:

    The Hawaii attorney general’s office has reportedly told Bennett that there are steps he needs to take in order to confirm President Obama’s birth records.

    Those steps include Bennett proving that he legitimately needs confirmation in order to update the records at his office.

      This coming weekend is a big one for Saturday Night Live. It marks the end of Bill Hader's tenure on the show and Ben Affleck's fifth time hosting. But perhaps the most significant reason to tune in is the fact that Kanye West is the musical guest, and he's making it seem like he really, really doesn't want to be. With West's apparent frustration with the show and his penchant for, shall we say ... off-the-cuff remarks, producers should be worried and we should be excited. Is there a better combo than that?
