Obama Birth Certificate a “Forgery,” Arizona Sheriff Says

obama-birth-certificate-forgery-arizona-sheriff

President Barack Obama’s birth certificate could be a forgery, controversial Arizona sheriff Joe Arpaio claims.

Arpaio, who has taken to styling himself as America’s “toughest sheriff”, said that he suspects that Obama’s birth certificate, which was released last year, is a “computer-generated forgery” based on findings from a six-month investigation by his “posse”.

“Based on all of the evidence presented and investigated, I cannot in good faith report to you that these documents are authentic,” Sheriff Arpaio said at a press conference in Phoenix, Arizona on Thursday. “My investigators believe that the long-form birth certificate was manufactured electronically and that it did not originate in paper format as claimed by the White House.”

Arpaio may be attempting to question the authenticity of Obama’s birth certificate, but the Arizona sheriff says he’s not attempting to question the president’s legal status under the Constitution, nor is he alleging any fraud on Obama’s part. Still, Arpaio believes that there is evidence that crimes have been committed.

“I want to make this perfectly clear. I am not accusing the sitting president of the United States of committing a crime. But there remain a lot of questions which beg for answers and we intend to move forward with this investigation in pursuit of those answers,” Arpaio said.

Do you buy into Arpaio’s claims that Obama’s birth certificate could be a forgery?

    hmm, so he's saying that there is no original, the whole thing is a photoshop?

    I would think the original is vaulted in Hawaii, not Arizona… Actually these days, it might be vaulted in Washington…

    My main point to this guy is this: Don't you think the Secret Service, NSA, CIA, and FBI already checked this document?

  2. Anonymous

    Hey, he wouldn't be President if the American electorate was smarter. I would gladly concede the authenticity of the certificate if in exchange Congress would pass a law requiring a passing grade on a Voter Literacy Test before one could vote.

    Unfortunately the people who were supposed to vet Obama in the beginning were The Media, ha ha ha, and the DNC. Ms. Pelosi covered her tracks by signing a document that omits the phrase "…this candidate is Constitutionally eligible…"

    This can be resolved in 10 minutes or less.

    Hawaii Dept of Health: Release the official paper copy of the birth certificate that is on file. If it matches what was distributed via the White House website, then this is over and done with once and for all.

    But if it doesn't,…….

  6. Beyond The-Spectrum

    I truly do not know which is more disturbing: the thought that a sitting president would actually have to forge a birth certificate (which would mean that his ascendency to the Oval Office was a conspiracy years in the making) or that so many conspiracy theorists are running around unsupervised who actually believes this insanity!

  7. Nalin Montez

    I don't believe that bullshit. people are so stupid. get over it.

  8. Paula Naugher Johnson

    SHUT UP JOE! Everybody knew this is what you would come out with. No suprise at all. But you and your team of "investigators" still could not prove it was forged. GO AWAY NOW and take Rush and Rick with you.

  9. Christy Fisher

    They want Obama out , which is why they will say and do anything to hurt the president.

  10. Debbie Sparks

    This whole story is stupid and pointless! Just another nut job trying to cloud the real issues of what this election is about. Stay focused people! Obama in 2012!

  11. Charlotte Flanary

    Arpaio has already proven what a bigot he is. He doesn't have to keep reminding us. He is a little too filled with his own self-importance. Why must the press continue to give him a voice?

    Really? Are we still on this birther nonsense? I mean come on people! Don't you think when all this started up there weren't people in the records office that shot right in to them files and looked to see if they could find or not find his birth certificate? And believe me, there are plenty of people out there looking to make a buck any way they can. If President Obama's birth certificate wasn't registered there, it would have been conveniently leaked to the press, and someone would have walked away with a pocket full of money. All this birther nonsense is just wishful thinking and another way the GOP can keep people believing that they are looking out for the countries welfare.
    You know, once upon a time, Sheriff Joe used to really stand for something. He WAS a good sheriff and really did a good job, now he has let all the hype go to his head and is now just a big media junkie. He is getting so narcissitic and out of control that he is really giving Maricopa County a bad name. Wake up guys and get over this nonsense and move on to real issues.

    Sheriff Joe Arpaio has in one stroke set the trail right for the legal process and scientific scrutiny of Obamas.
    birth certificate, and also selective service registration which turned out to be forgeries, and fraudelently.
    manufactured. This has shown a serious lapse on the State Department, which enabled a bogus candidate.
    to infiltrate the highest officein the U.S. This will raise more doubts as to the ineffective methods by which.
    anyone is capable of any crime here. This serious lapse questions the function ofGovernment departments.
    which are responsible for this Blunder of the Century, there seems nothing that can surpass the amount of.
    legal repressions, and confusion, caused by this blunder. Regardless of its disgrace and implications, this.
    matter has to be srutinized, and we the people have a right to know THE TRUTH.

  17. Thomas Hannan

    Uh… Barney Fife – AKA Joe Arpaio – Your "investigators" need to sit back on their bar stools and discuss something that they (you) have jurisdiction over. You are just a two-bit sheriff – I seriously doubt you have the skill or the intellectual chops to do much more than shoot off your mouth. Oh, and BTW.. go on a diet.

  18. CJ Russell Modisette

    As I understand it, Velvet, the 'birther nonsense' was started by someone involved in the Hilary Clinton campaign during the last primaries, not by the GOP. A small minority of people hold onto this thinking, many of whom are not Republicans. Ann Coulter, who would love to dethrone Obama, says the idea is ridiculous. It is wishful thinking, but not on the part of most of the GOP. I personally don't think that either of the two major parties are looking out for the country's welfare. They both seem to be only interested in keeping palms greased, pockets lined, and power in the hands of the few who will continue in the same vein.

    No, I don't think they checked it out. But I've been around long enough to know thar back when Obama was born, Negro was used for race, not black. Back then they were called Colored people and black was not considered a race. That's a blunder on the forger's part.

  26. Michael Bednarz

    Actually there is so much information and records that President Obama has REFUSED to release for more than 5 years. He has refused to release all of his College records at Columbia University, and Harvard. By contrast when questions were raised about John McCain in 2008 about his Panama Canal Zone birth and eligibility, numerous records were released INSTANTLY to prove he was Constitutionally valid as a candidate. There are MULTIPLE issues that could violate and probably DID violate Constitutional Requirements for Obama to run and now be POTUS and even to have run and been a U.S. Senator. There are concerns that he attended these schools as a foreign aid student and citizen from Indonesia under his adopted fathers name as Barry Soetoro. This allegation is supported by BHO receiving a VISA to travel to Pakistan for a month when he was 18 or 19 for with a friend at a time when Pakistan REFUSED travel VISA's to US Citizens. But, as a citizen from Indonesia, a country with the LARGEST Muslim population in the world, there would be NO problem. This would also be a clear violation of the Constitution forbidding anyone but a Natural Born citizen of the US. and forbidding ANYONE with secondary or DUAL citizenship interests conflicting with US Citizenship. Philip Berg is one of the biggest investigators to bring the multiple issues of his eligibility to be run and be POTUS to the forefront. He is a long-time Democrat & Attorney from Pennsylvania and former Deputy AG of that state. He brought suit starting before the 2008 Election. Now we face a Constitutional Crisis should it be proved that a foreigner was and is POTUS and must be removed from office as a result. Is it any wonder why the media and those with hands on the levers of power are trying to obfuscate, delay, and deny the possible truth? Why wouldn't Obama release everything requested and shielded by the courts? View this link to my posting 4 years ago PRE-ELECTION with an OPEN mind.

    Remember 4 years later finally the long form birth certificate was released by the White House last spring under pressure from Donald Trump and every ANALYSIS shows it to be a fraud. (just google Obama long-form birth certificate fraud) and you can see countless videos and expert analysis showing what a low quality document forgery that it clearly is.

    Agree or disagree afterward doing this minimal reserearch, but I dare say it will raise some questions that NOBODY but Obama can answer. With that said ask yourself. Why won't he?

    I'm sure the tax payers in Arizona really appreciate his "posse" investigating this for six months.

  28. Dean Herrmann

    Why all this talk about contraception, abortion, gay rights and Obama's birth certificate? don't they know this election will be about the economy and jobs? oh that's right, the economy is getting better…lol!

  29. Adam Jay Wilmot

    Holy crap! How do people of his obvious ignorance get a badge? You can't even run for President without every government agency making sure you background is exactly what you claim it to be. So, Obama has fooled the CIA and the FBI. But, not this idiot. This is why we keep hearing racist when it comes to those who don't like Obama. This guy clearly illustrates racism here. He has no evidence of such an allegation. Not to mention he is Sheriff in a state full of minorities. I bet they feel less comfortable at the moment. I'm sure he won't be at his post for long.

Best believe that… If you don't you're saying you have no faith in the American Law Enforcement and Intelligence community. That just shows how ignorant you are…

    I'm quite sure they check out the background on the President of the United States of America LONNNNNG before he hits the office… That's not rocket science.

    I've said it before. Said it when I first started hearing about this "Sheriff Joe".

    The guy is a egomaniac, who would make himself into an Arizona styled, Adolph Hitler. He has all of the psychological traits of a white collar criminal, with the added threat of power over people with guns in their hands. This guy is a big threat to anyone coming in contact with him.

    They could pretty much prosecute this Sheriff instantly for acting outside his jurisdiction, right? I'm not sure how jurisdiction laws work, but I'm pretty sure there's some legal experts who do.

    Just, what do you write it up as… Abuse of power? Treason? Slander? Misuse of Federal Resources? There's got to be some Federal offenses matched DIRECTLY to acting rogue outside your jurisdiction?

    I think he could lose his badge for this. He oughta watch his step…

    This issue should have been resolved back in 2006 and 2008 even 2010 had the federal judges and the Supreme Court had the balls to hear complaints from people who had the evidences against this paid agent and fraud president. John Roberts when asked why they would not take them up, he said "Do you want bloodbaths on the streets?" These judges let this fool to serve and trample upon our Constitution because he is "black" and "minority" and can not be touched. Shame on them. But look at the Georgia case when the judge allowed the complaint to go forward. Obama retreated and docked knowing and believing his days are numbered. This joker and illegal resident should be arrested, tried and put to jail for crimes committed, along with the media, Michelle, his lawyers, the DNC, Hawaii Governor and the paid leftist media knowing full well HE IS NOT A US CITIZEN!

    Arpaio sure knows about fraud and forgery… how many cases have been brought up aginst him and his dept.I'm not saying he's a criminal or even a crossdresser but it's got to make you think how much of tax payer money went to waste on this?, if he was at work and his posse was looking into this, they are getting paid with tax payer money, Arizonins should be flamin mad….Joe and his posse just proved they were not doing their job of policeing and holding up state and local laws…. and just to be clear, everything is stored electronically so for the posse to say "it was manufactured electronically" being the reason for the statment, is lame…… a child could have told them that, and these are the people in charge of crimal investagation.I wonder how manytimes he's used that same reason for deporting people? Time for the crazy to go… VOTE Arpaio out, let Arizona grow with hope and change…Obama 2012…. no Joe!

  51. Katrina Simmons

    I have read all the comments that every one has written about the sheriff and his jurisdiction…truth be told..Obama works for us and we all have the right to know why he is trying so hard to cover up all the info any other candidate would gladly reveal. If the birth certificate is real or not doesn't matter. The fact that his father was not a citizen of the US Makes him ineligible! And why is it with him having attended TWO colleges NO ONE remembers attending classes with him…and how was it he went on a foreign aide visa if he wasn't a foreigner? Yes I know he was elected and we should get over it but it still raises a lot of questions? AND the best thing about the United States is that we are all FREE TO EXPRESS OUR CONCERNS! Be them right or wrong.
    Those of you who think we are all better off now than we were 4 years ago…well lets just say when the shit hits the fan…I for one will be standing behind it not in front waiting for someone else to tell me to duck!

As for your Republican Reps, the ones fighting for the nomination are a bunch of idiots, they have been the biggest media laugh factory since they all announced that they were running. So I'll just vote for President Obama once again, just like I did before. You know the funny thing is, for the last 16 years I've listened to every President say they were going to do something about health care, and when they were elected and didn't do a thing, everyone had fits about it. Now we have a President who said he was going to do something about and he did, and everyone is still having fits. Gee, go figure.

  59. Michael Bednarz

    Obviously people resorting to calling.those with facts names and rest assured in their fantasy and ignorance that NSA and CIA have done their jobs have no idea how it works. The PARTY leadership has to sign off on qualifications and eligiblity. They look at the phony documents (probably didn't even do that) and say good to go. In the case of BHO it was Sen. Dianne Feinstein certified Obama for.the.Democrat party. NO CIA, FBI, DEA, NSA scrutiny whatsoever.

  69. Dusti Pelow

    Maggie Boucher Not true, actually. In fact, upon entering the White House, the president and family are given an allotment to spend on remodeling the family's private quarters. The Bushs greedily used it right up (being of far greater wealth than the Obamas). Conversely, the Obamas refused it and did any remodeling on their own dime.

  70. Dusti Pelow

    Well, that and they don't have clue one as to what to do to fix it. GOP is much better at making messes than cleaning anything up.

  71. Dusti Pelow

    Very pleased, thank you. The GOP can't find a candidate that even they are happy with. None exist. It's the path they've chosen as a party, to be as polarizing as possible.

  72. Bruce Lee

    Wellllll, I will just say this- I HIGHLY DOUBT that Obama was born outside this country- and even if he was he was still a damn American. Its not like he was raised for 13 years in Africa, then brought here… In the OUTSIDE CASE that there MIGHT be some issue- only his parents are guilty, not him…

    but furthermore, don't you know that EVERY PRESIDENT is a 40 year "conspiracy" as you call it. It's society CONSPIRING to raise people who are smart enough to be a President… You don't think they just are born all Presidential, do you? No, no the real reality of the matter is that it takes years of growth, development, keeping yourself out of trouble, an intense education, security, grooming, huge amounts of funding and time, experts, panels, meetings, debates, election etc….. It's not a conspiracy held in secret somewhere- its politics! You don't think Bush Jr. was groomed for politics for his entire life? Dream on…

We are much too skeptical of big religion… Remember the whole Revolutionary War for the freedom of independence and freedom of religion? With the guns and the George Washington and the 1776 Declaration of Independence… yeah……..

    And yes Phyllis, I actually TRUST that the CIA, NSA, Secret Service, and FBI did in fact check his records… Your lack of faith in the system is ironic, coming from a (presumably) patriotic, conservative American… You sound like a crazy person when you're screaming about how the CIA, NSA, Secret Service, FBI, Homeland Security, and every other protectionary agency just TOTALLY joined some Obama-spiracy… Seriously- you don't have to LIKE Obama, but I mean.. seriously, are you kidding? You have to know that the Law Enforcement Officers (LEOs) checked his information a LONG time before the general election…

    I'm thinking maybe we should prosecute him on this, before he uses these same techniques to frame other innocent bystanders…

    Bitch there is no kool-aid left- I drank it all! And now that I'm all hyped up on sugar buzz, I'm PRIMED for a lengthy political debate over some issues I have concerning racist small town cops abusing their positions to violate the chain of command…

    I mean, I would just LOVE to talk about this some more… Pretty sure we can have his badge right now. Should we take it? You decide!

    I doubt it, he's a sheriff – but stranger things have happened… The KKK is still listed as a domestic terrorist group… bitches… so if you is and if you wants a fight you can come fight me on ninja warz (facebook application) and I will wreck your whole crew with my level 110 near-maxed-out dojo of the best ninjas around…

    Honestly, this guy and I would probably get along just swimmingly- with the exception of some VERY different views on a few subjects. While I talk a lot of shit, I still sorta like his style. At least he's got the balls to question his leadership!

    My problem Sheriff, is you need to be presenting me with a BETTER candidate before I'm going to ditch this one. This guy IS the last BETTER CANDIDATE… before that (on the left) was John Kerry who came across as big and creepy… although his politic was not bad… and before that we had Al Gore who's vocal delivery was worse than Anakin Skywalker in Episode 2…

    But I digress- I guess I'm saying that I can completely see your point of view, but I also HIGHLY DOUBT that those services would allow that to happen…

    When I was like 20, 21 years old- I thought that GW was a horrible president and that he and his people were all racist Nazis n shit… Now, close to a decade later, well lets just say there's no beef there. I realized, as many do, that the people in charge are VERY SMART- and they do in fact LISTEN to what we have to say (like it's their JOB)… I just… highly doubt he was born outside the U.S.A…

    If so, it was one of those things like, Mom's on vacation in Mexico, has a baby, comes back home to the states…. I wouldn't call that kid a Mexican…

    I mean, I'm just saying- Mom was American with sole citizenship, I think the kid is too… I do not believe there is any rule specifically saying that a candidate's PARENTS must BOTH be Americans… We are all the children of immigrants, you know.

    Well, I'm part indian, but not that much…

  81. Bruce Lee

    Maybe you should have to be full blooded native american to hold office :)

    Obama's like, 4 more years of this shit? you can have it back! jajaja glad I'm not a politician! those sharks would eat me alive…

    Maggie Boucher: He's been pretty frugal. I agree with Dusti. He did go to Hawaii and he's from there. I had the younger part of my childhood there and want to go back to see it. My brother was born there. So I understand wantiing to go back to your hometown. But he's mostly business. I can remember him going to France one time and commenting that his wife would have loved to go, but he was there on business. As president it''s his job. It would be ethnocetric for the US to have all other countries come to us.

    The State govt. on Oahu had it on site and checked out it's authenticity, from what I saw on TV. It looks like my brother's who was born around the same time.

    Record unemployment even with the skewed numbers the media presents, and then solyndra fiasco, a pipeline to create jobs he killed. I really dont care if green jobs trump oil, but it should be a fair fight, if it could be done someone would have done it by now because we are in a great country that knows how to make money with opportunities. A hatred for oil companies and resourceful people. Yeh he is business, he gets into everyone elses. We need less govt not more, that is what made the US great.

    Arpaio is full of it….he is ONE predjudice A**hole.
