Members of the Cold Case Posse in Maricopa County, Ariz., whose report to Sheriff Joe Arpaio yesterday confirmed there is probable cause to believe Barack Obama’s much-ballyhooed birth certificate document is a forgery, have begun briefing members of the county law enforcement team who may be involved in hunting for those responsible.
At a news conference yesterday, Arpaio and the chief investigator for the specially appointed Cold Case Posse, Mike Zullo, confirmed that they had found evidence of forgery in the creation of the birth certificate image and fraud in the presentation of that piece of work as a real government document.
They also said they found Obama’s Selective Service registration likely forged, and they said it appeared as though officials in Hawaii were covering up information about Obama. They also said it was not outside the realm of possibility that Obama might have been born overseas.
All of this relates to the Constitution’s demand that a president be only a “natural born citizen,” which is not defined in the Constitution. But many analysts believe at the time the document was written that would have meant the offspring of two citizens of the country.

Obama has shown both his short form and long form birth certificates (in contrast to the Republican candidates, who have not shown theirs). The facts on them were repeatedly confirmed by officials in Hawaii. The birth certificate is still further confirmed by the birth notices in the newspapers (which only were sent to the papers by the Department of Health of Hawaii; the papers did not accept notices from relatives or birth notice advertising in 1961). And it is still further confirmed by the witness who wrote home. And it is further confirmed by the absence of any files in Kenya (not even of Obama’s mother’s arrival) and the absence of any US government travel document for Obama or Obama’s mother in 1961. And, no, Obama’s Kenyan grandmother did not say that he was born in Kenya. She said repeatedly in the taped interview that he was born in Hawaii, and she said in another interview (with the Hartford Courant newspaper) that the first that her family had heard of Obama’s birth was in a letter from Hawaii.
