Arpaio: Obama birth record has been tampered with

Members of Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio's posse said in March that there was probable cause that Obama's long-form birth certificate released by the White House in April 2011 was a computer-generated forgery.

Now, Arpaio says investigators are positive it's fraudulent.

Mike Zullo, the posse's chief investigator, said numeric codes on certain parts of the birth certificate indicate that those parts weren't filled out, yet those sections asking for the race of Obama's father and his field of work or study were completed.

Why lie about something if you don't have to? Why put out a fraudulent or tampered with document if a real one exists? It doesn't have to make sense, it's just another dead end trail for someone to waste time on while you're busy destroying the country. It's a tactic.
