“When I get allegations brought to me by the citizens of Maricopa County, I look into the allegations, just like I am doing here.”

Sheriff Joe Arpaio tasks ‘Cold Case Posse’ to investigate Obama’s birth certificate

You may have thought the authenticity of President Obama’s birth certificate was confirmed once and for all in April. Perhaps you never questioned it. But for America’s first African-American president, incongruous questions and doubts about his citizenship, fostered by fiercely partisan politics and a hungry media culture, are still being raised.

Now, Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio’s “Cold Case Posse” has been ordered to investigate the authenticity of President Obama’s birth certificate at the behest of a tea party group. Arpaio became well known for his self promotion as “America's Toughest Sheriff” and for his stance on the immigration laws in Arizona.
Arpaio told WorldNetDaily his decision to investigate Obama’s birth certificate has nothing to do with “politics.”
“My door is open to everyone, and I don't kick them out. If a complaint is legitimate, I don't dump it into the wastebasket,” he told WND. “When I get allegations brought to me by the citizens of Maricopa County, I look into the allegations, just like I am doing here.”
The complaint was brought by the Surprise Tea Party, described on their Web site as “a group of non-partisan citizens that are concerned about the direction of our country.” Brian Reilly, a spokesman for the group, said he believes the Cold Case Posse “will seek to discover the truth in the matter” of Obama’s birth certificate.
So-called “birthers” question whether Obama was actually born in the United States and is constitutionally qualified to be president. Some believe his birth certificate is a forgery and that he was born in Kenya.
In response to numerous lawsuits and rampant speculation, Obama released his detailed Hawaiian certificate of live birth in April. Dr. Chiyome Fukino, former director of the Hawaii Department of Health, told CNN she had “no doubt” that Obama was born on the island state.
Before that, Obama’s campaign released a standard birth record and newspaper announcements of his birth, the Post reported.
