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 writer who published a book about Obama's birth certificate and was aiding investigators let them listen in on an interview he conducted of the former state worker.

He's cute too!

In 2001, he was the first sheriff to require all inmates aged 18 and over to register for the Selective Service System. (Registration is required by federal law for all U.S. males between 18 and 26 years of age, as well as for resident aliens of the same age, regardless of their immigration status.) Since 2001, a total of 28,000 inmates (including 9,000 aliens) have registered for Selective Service.

I didn't realize Arpaio was 80 until I looked it up.

Has Alex Jones chimed in yet? I about fell out of my chair laughing when he used a graphic designer using an Adobe app to debunk the birth certificate a couple of years back.

Hey Sheriff Joe!

Sheriffs are the highest law enforcement officers to be elected. It's lucky they don't boss more than a single county when you consider what some of the people in the less educated and more reactionary counties in this country will vote for. It happens in the big cities too though, like Cleveland (and it could be relatively clean considering past scandals in Chicago, New York and Philadelphia to name three examples).

Our sheriff has relatively little street enforcement capability because the Cleveland Police Department is big and we have over thirty independent suburbs with their own safety forces, but cities with a consolidated metro city/county government are different because the Sheriff is also the chief of police. There aren't many of them- Columbus, Ohio, Nashville, Louisville, Kansas City, Denver and Jacksonville. I lived in Jacksonville for seven years and never want to live in another metro government city because the sheriff's department there was too unprofessional, slow and impersonal. There were only three separate suburbs in Duval County, and I ended up living in Jax Beach before I left, which has its own safety forces as did Neptune Beach atr the time. Atlantic Beach, where Mayport Naval Station is, was contracting with the Jax Sheriff's Department for police services when I left in 2004.

Our last Cuyahoga County Sheriff is in prison for misappropriating money and services in office as well as making campaign contributions virtually mandatory for his employees, many of whom were paid below the normal civil service wage for the same jobs in the county/state system. He worked it for years though because he was in with the predominant party and kept getting reelected. Hell of a way to retire though.

Just curious...if he found the clerk who signed the birth certificate, doesn't that mean that there is a birth certificate? If that's his official report, I'd like to thank him for having the President's back like that. Sheriff Joe!!
