Hawaii verifies Obama's birth records to Arizona
Source: San Francisco Chronicle
The state of Hawaii has verified President Barack Obama's birth records to Arizona's elections chief after a nearly three-month back and forth that Arizona officials said could have ended without the incumbent's name on its November ballot.
Joshua Wisch, special assistant to Hawaii Attorney General David Louie, told The Associated Press in an email late Tuesday that the matter is resolved after Hawaii gave Arizona the verification it was looking for.
Hawaii — which has vouched for Obama's birth in the state several times as early as October 2008 — didn't bow to the request easily. The Aloha State told Arizona Secretary of State Ken Bennett he had to prove he needed the records as part of normal business.
Wisch says Hawaii got what it needed, so it gave Bennett's office the verification.

The birthers will now say, a la Colonel Flagg of MASH, that "they're in on the conspiracy too."
I keep telling Mr. pig I need a Nerf brick to bang against my head.
The way things are going, I may just use a basic construction brick and render myself unconscious.
These people cannot be reasoned with and have no bounds.
Sigh.
George was running for the presidency back in the Jurassic period.
George was born to American parents in the "Mormon colony" in Mexico. I don't recall anyone ever challenging George's citizenship when he was a candidate in 1968.
Mitten's great-grandfather had fled to Mexico with 12 wives, if I recall correctly.
You can't make this stuff up!
Thank you! Well said. 
...that was actually sarcasm.

The never-ending search for evidence that some white people will ever accept that a successful black man isn't a criminal or fraud.
And racism has nothing to do with it.
From "USA Today"
"In Tempe, Ariz., meanwhile, Arizona State University officials have created what one professor calls a public relations mess with conflicting explanations about why Obama will not receive an honorary degree.
The school's spokeswoman, Sharon Keeler, initially said Obama — who earned his own Harvard Law School degree in 1991 — hadn't established enough of a "body of work" yet to warrant a degree.
ASU President Michael Crow says that's not the case. He says the school has had a policy since 2003 not to give honorary degrees to donors and sitting politicians, but the school is thrilled to have Obama deliver the commencement address at Sun Devil Stadium. To honor the president, Crow says, the school has named a scholarship program after him. "His election is a fantastic historical turning point," he says.
The flap about the degree was "a public relations blunder," says ASU political science professor Marilyn Dantico. "Everyone is thrilled that Barack Obama is coming to Arizona State."
Crow covered his butt with the "policy" thing. They had no intention of honoring him and everyone was NOT "thrilled" that he was coming. I live here and I was embarrassed. Of course, I've had ample opportunity to be embarrassed since moving here. I hate it here. 
donors or sitting politicians."
Crow had to carefully parse his words on that one, given that he has been President of ASU since 2002 and has given two honorary degrees to politicians. Bob Stump, a sitting Arizona Congressman was given an honorary degree in 2002 five months after Crow had assumed office, and he apparently raised no objection. Kim Campbell, who was the Prime Minister of Canada for five months, but was defeated in the 1993 election was given an honorary degree in 2005, but was no longer sitting.
ASU released a statement that Bob Stump doesn't count because he was 'selected' before Crow assumed office, but when TPM asked if he'd raised an objection to a sitting politician getting a degree they received no answer. Maybe it would have made more sense for him to say "the school has had a policy since 2009 not to give honorary degrees to donors or sitting politicians." 
Look what you did, you made Twilight cry!
All good Arizonans, Libertarians, and True Americans should just reject this as one more attempt to fool us with fake documents.
I don't think this will end the birthers' bias.
Said they have final "verification" that he was not born here.
What they need to locate is the Birth Records for the ROMO family ( son and dad) in Mexico.
