When will it stop? (Obama's birth certificate)

Ridiculous. And I had no idea that there were issues with a lack of investigation of sex-crimes in Maricopa county. (bolding mine.)

Joe Arpaio: Obama birth certificate a fraud

By ASSOCIATED PRESS | 7/17/12 11:37 PM EDT

PHOENIX — Investigators for an Arizona sheriff’s volunteer posse have declared that President Barack Obama’s birth certificate is definitely fraudulent.

Members of Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio’s posse said in March that there was probable cause that Obama’s long-form birth certificate released by the White House in April 2011 was a computer-generated forgery.

Now, Arpaio says investigators are positive it’s fraudulent.

Mike Zullo, the posse’s chief investigator, said numeric codes on certain parts of the birth certificate indicate that those parts weren’t filled out, yet those sections asking for the race of Obama’s father and his field of work or study were completed.

Zullo said investigators previously didn’t know the meaning of codes but they were explained by a 95-year-old former state worker who signed the president’s birth certificate. Zullo said a news reporter who has helped with the probe let investigators listen in on an interview he conducted of the former state worker.

Hawaii officials have repeatedly confirmed Obama’s citizenship, and state officials did again Tuesday.

“President Obama was born in Honolulu, and his birth certificate is valid,” Joshua A. Wisch, a special assistant to Hawaii’s attorney general, said in a statement. “Regarding the latest allegations from a sheriff in Arizona, they are untrue, misinformed and misconstrue Hawaii law.”

Wisch also said that “not only are Hawaii’s vital records some of the best managed, but they also have some of the strongest restrictions on access to prevent identity theft and fraud.”

The Obama campaign would not comment on Arpaio’s allegations.

The Arizona Democratic Party said in a statement that Arpaio’s investigation is intended to draw attention away from problems within his own agency, such as hundreds of sex-crime cases that the sheriff’s office failed to adequately investigate over a three-year period.

So-called “birthers” maintain Obama is ineligible to be president because they contend he was born in Kenya.

Obama released a copy of his long-form birth certificate in an attempt to quell citizenship questions.

Courts have rebuffed lawsuits over the issue.

Welcome to Election Year!

[pixy0stix]

They're spending so much time on the birth certificate that they can't adequately handle the real cases in their own county? Disgusting.

[NitaX]

Utter foolishness.

When will it stop?

November 7, 2012 if Mittens gets elected. Sometime in 2015(whenever the next election stuff gets ramped up) if Obama is re-elected.

They know they have reason to be desperate.

[MrsDL]

Talking about their nonsense and giving them attention probably doesn't help.

I thought Sheriff Joe was getting indicted for some federal violations. I could have swore that I read that a few months ago.

Is he going to keep Michelle as his wife, because that would be scandalous.
