Arpaio's Joke

As most of Arizona and the country know, Joe Arpaio, Maricopa County Sheriff is in trouble. The feds are investigating him for numerous civil rights violations. He has squandered millions of tax dollars and pursued a number of bogus cases while neglecting child abuse cases. In the sheriff's latest ploy he has claimed that after an extensive investigation, President Obama's birth certificate is a forgery. In extensive video "proof," the sheriff points out that when enlarged, there is "noise" or rough edges on the typed letters of an authentic birth certificate. On the copy of Obama's birth certificate, there is no noise, hence, according to the sheriff, who must have nothing better to do, Obama's birth certificate is a forgery. Arpaio's joke is that he enlarged the first or authentic certificate many times. The alleged phony certificate was enlarged one or two times, not enough to show any noise that may or may not have been there. So much time, energy and effort has been expended trying to prove that Obama is not a citizen that might have been used for a better purpose. We have more important things to do than to try to disprove something that has already been verified. Obama IS the president. If there is anything phony in the State of Arizona, it is Sheriff Joe Arpaio.
