\b0 \kerning1\expnd0\expndtw0 \ Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio and his \'93Cold
Case Posse\'94 announced Tuesday that new evidence, again, shows President Obama\'92s
Hawaiian birth certificate is a fake. CNN has more.\kerning1\expnd2\expndtw10

\'93Investigators working for Arizona sheriff Joe Arpaio claim President Obama\'92s birth
certificate is definitely fraudulent. members say it was a computer-generated forgery and
they claim no drought redoubt remains.\'94 \b0 \kerning1\expnd2\expndtw10

The investigators learned of a coding system that indicates the birth certificate has been
altered, key information missing on the verification document Hawaii provided, and most importantly,
an interview with the Hawaii official who signed Mr. Obama\'92s birth certificate in
1961.\kerning1\expnd2\expndtw10 \uc0\u8232 \u8232 \kerning1\expnd0\expndtw0
The interview with the official is causing some speculation. A writer for Gawker writes:\kerning1\expnd2\expndtw10
\uc0\u8232 \u8232 \b \kerning1\expnd2\expndtw10
\'93Lead investigator Mike Zullo (ZOO-LOW) explained that numeric codes on parts of the
birth certificate mean that those sections were not originally filled out. He knows this
because he asked the 95-year-old former state worker who signed the birth certificate, and
95-year-olds are known for having all their facts straight.\'94

\'93These are not sworn police officers. They have no arrest authority or subpoena power.

certificate is a fake.\'94 \b0 \kerning1\expnd2\expndtw10
\uc0\u8232 \u8232 \kerning1\expnd0\expndtw0 Zullo denied making a profit, but allegedly
admitted later that he has received checks from the book\'92s publisher. {\field{\*\fldinst{HYPERLINK

\uc0\u8232 \u8232 \b \kerning1\expnd2\expndtw10
\'93...with yet another underwhelming presentation of evidence, the media's patience appears
to be wearing thin with the birther investigation. Thankfully, Arpaio says that he and his birther
posse has done all it can do. Now he's calling for Congress to take up the investigation,
and commended his posse for undertaking a two-man investigation that would have taken
"100 federal agents" to do. \b0 \kerning1\expnd2\expndtw10
\uc0\u8232 \u8232 \kerning1\expnd0\expndtw0 No one in Congress has taken up Arpaio\'92s
offer to further the investigation. Hawaiian officials have confirmed Mr. Obama\'92s citizenship.\
