Obama birth certificate investigation: Sheriff Arpaio's office says '9 points of forgery' found

Source: ABC 15

PHOENIX - Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio and Chief Investigator Mike Zullo say "nine points of forgery" have been found on President Barack Obama's birth certificate.

During a Thursday press conference, Arpaio and Zullo said their five-year-long investigation revealed new evidence including "forensic analysis showing the characters on the document were pieced together from secondary sources."

According to Zullo, the certificate released by the White House in 2011 appears to be a "created" document that sources an official Hawaiian birth certificate belonging to a Johana Ah'nee.

A video played during the press conference showed nine elements that were lifted and placed on the Obama certificate in "an apparent attempt to make it appear authentic."

It's not us he's targeting. He's trying to diminish Obama right before he comes out to tell us about the Russian hack. In other words, he's trying to put doubt in the minds of the right-wing useful idiots.

....my 2 kids' as they were also born in Honolulu. And as I told my loony cousin before I relegated him permanently to my spam filter, tons of people remember the president and his family. It's not that big of a state, and his parents met at the University of Hawai'i, Manoa. His grandma worked at BankOH for decades -- and like I said, the state (and the Island of O'ahu) is just not that big.

Sheriff Arpaio is indeed a racist idiot.

The only difference, is that my birth certificate has 'Territory of Hawaii' across the top, and hers looks the same as the President's, and she was born in 1977!
