He says he did, but most objective sources believe this was another example of Sheriff Joe's ability to get publicity. He supposedly had a "posse" that was investigating the birth certificate, which made the Birthers (the group who insist that President Obama was not born in the USA) very happy. But as it always turns out, there was nothing for his posse to investigate, since the president was in fact born in Hawaii, as has been verified repeatedly. Sheriff Joe has since moved on to other issues.
As of May 22, 2012, it is reported that approximately $40,000 had been expended on the Obama birth certificate investigation according to the Sheriff's Office. (Source: The Arizona Republic) The AZ Republic reported that the Sheriff's Office claims that all money expended on the Obama birth certificate investigation was donated funds from private citizens, and that the investigation had used only volunteers. However, in May 2012 the Sheriff's Office acknowledged that a sworn deputy was in HI paid with taxpayer monies. The Sheriff at that time told The Republic that he anticipated reimbursement from private sources to recoup the taxpayer-funded investigation. Its was reported that a private citizen group of Sheriff Joe Arpaio supporters attempted to pay for the trip, but Maricopa County Commissioners denied the request, which ultimately leaves Maricopa County taxpayers footing the bill.
The "long certificate" proves that Barack Obama was born in the US.
no.
Joe Arpaio could not make his case. While some people question whether he was born in the U.S., there is no evidence he was born elsewhere. No other country would claim Barack Obama. While some in the U.S. deny that Barack Obama was born in the U.S. all other countries including Indonesia, Kenya, Mexico, North Korea, China, Russia, Egypt and Israel deny he was born in these countries. Like it or not we are stuck with him.
Perhaps he was actually born in Kenya.
