In part because of Arpaio's investigation, Bennett said on KFYI radio that he received over 1,200 e-mails asking him to look into Obama's birth certificate. Bennett told radio host Mike Broomhead on Thursday that he believes "the president was born in Hawaii -- at least I hope he was" and stated he was "not playing to the birthers."
He went on to explain that he had been trying for eight weeks to verify Obama's certificate and was surprised by how challenging it has been to get a response from Hawaii officials.

``That's possible.''
Controversy over President Barack Obama's eligibility to be president flared anew
Friday as Democrats criticized a Republican state official's request that Hawaii officials
confirm they have Obama's birth certificate.....
...... Hawaii's health department said its director got Bennett's request in March and forwarded
it to the state attorney general's office for a response. That office did not immediately respond to
a request for comment.ktar.com...
Bennett said he received over 1,200 emails from people saying the Secretary of State should require the president to produce the original of his birth certificate in order to be on the ballot in Arizona.
Bennett said he told those people it was an impossible request, that he couldn't even get his own original birth certificate from the Arizona vital records department, that even he could only get a certified copy.
Hawaii has a provision in their law that allows other government officials from other states to request what is called a "verification in lieu of a certified copy" of a birth certificate.

I think Bennet is looking for something more, according to ABC.

He's not really doing anything, aside from playing politics to the minds of his constituents.

Birthers have themselves to blame for their own actions. They choose to ignore the evidence out there proving Obama was born on US soil, and they choose to frequent rightwing websites. If you can't bother to look at things objectively, it's nobody's fault but your own.

The actual evidence points to facts that support Obama has a lot to hide.
You can not blame the people for the confusion,
when there are many different stories in the media. How did so many people get it wrong then?

Well, I have only one. One copy that was made at the county of my birth, and it is a
photocopy of the one on file.

You need to learn about the fact that birth registrations are not handled in the same manner in all counties and states.

I merely reported the news....
I wonder if President Obama
does secretly enjoy the attention that is given to his personal issue, his place of birth?
So the earliest "birther" of all was actually—President Obama! Or at least his literary rep, who
promoted the notion of a Kenyan birth up until 2007 www.newser.com...

Oh, I am all for the discussion, my opinion is that Barack enjoys the attention!

And to be honest, you cant blaim the people....there is too much media over the years
that has given reason for them to doubt that Obama is a natural born American citizen.
