Bill stems from Obama ‘birther’ controversy
If Barack Obama wants to run for re-election he would need to produce proof of both his U.S. birth and citizenship to get on the ballot in Arizona, at least under a measure being pushed by a state legislator.
Rep. Judy Burges, R-Skull Valley, is crafting a measure to require anyone running for president or vice president to provide proof to the Arizona Secretary of State’s Office that they are legally eligible to seek the office. The U.S. Constitution requires the president – and, by extension, the vice president – to be “a natural born citizen.”
More to the point, Burges would require the secretary of state to verify, independently, that the information is accurate.
“And if it’s not certifiable, then that person’s name would not go on the ballot,” she said.

Americans split on Obama first year: polls
In a new Quinnipiac University poll released Wednesday, US voters were split 45-45 on whether Obama’s first year was a success or failure.
When voters were asked in a CNN/Opinion Research survey published on Tuesday to rate Obama’s performance since taking office, 48 percent judged it a failure, and 47 percent saw a success.
A CBS News poll showed Obama’s job approval rating at 46 percent, marking the first time he had polled below 50 percent in the survey.

Poor Obama
Yesterday, the Associated Press reported that Barack Obama admitted he was tired during his trip to Oslo earlier this month to accept the Nobel Peace Prize, but this isn’t the first time we’ve heard about how tired the president is.
In February, barely two weeks following his inauguration, Obama was already tired of being cooped up in the White House. Perhaps that was part of his motivation for shortly afterwards embarking on the nationwide “You’re All Suckers Tour” he used to curry support for a phony stimulus bill. Just a month later, he was too tired to act appropriately for Gordon Brown’s visit the White House.
So what do we know thus far?
The president was tired at the beginning of his term shortly after taking office, and now he’s tired as he reaches the end of his first year in office. What happened in between? Well, we never heard how tired Obama was of the parties at the White House, his introduction to the D.C. social scene, the date nights with Michelle, the long weekends with the family, the fundraisers, the trips taken to give “historic” speeches, the late night talk show appearances, the golf outings, or the pickup basketball games.
