Arpaio asks for Obama’s Selective Service card
Source: Associated Press
Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio has asked the Selective Service System for help in his investigation into the authenticity of President Barack Obamas birth certificate.
The sheriff has asked the federal agency for the original Selective Service card completed by Obama in 1980.
Arpaio says his investigators had concluded Obamas registration card was likely a forgery.
... No one answered the phone late Wednesday afternoon at Selective Service headquarters in Virginia.

"On March 1, 2012, a press conference was held in which I announced the initial findings of the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office Cold Case Posse investigation," Arpaio writes. "Among the findings is not only the President's birth certificate a likely fraud, but furthermore, there is probable cause to believe that the Selective Service Registration card on file and allegedly submitted by Mr. Obama on July 29, 1980, was also a forgery."
Arpaio's "birther" investigators did some homemade science projects in which they claim they were able to make their own phony stamp that looked just like the one used on the president's registration.
"Sheriff Arpaio is asking Director Romo to respond to him within 30 days on whether or not his national office will provide the Sheriff with the original document and if his office will move forward with an investigation of its own," the sheriff's office says. "Lawrence Romo, who was appointed as Director to the U.S. Selective Service System in 2009 by President Obama, reports directly to the President."

(37,540 posts)If he thinks the Feds may be investigating him for possible criminal violations, I can see where he'd be trying to establish a case against PBO - then he can say that the Feds are after him because he's investigating the President. There will be morons that will believe the President has it out for poor Sheriff Joe.

You know, maybe everybody's registration is fake. Gasp! Everything is fake! Only Sheriff Joe is a Real American! Obey his will! Don't put him in jail!

This graph shows Arpaio to be a total incompetent blowhard who is soft on real crime.

There will be NO end to their nutty conspiracy.

(7,675 posts)colony called Maricopa County. Country Joe Arpaio is no better than whack jobs like
Neil Jednoralski, http://forum.nationstates.net/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=154188.
Here is an excerpt for those who do not want to click the link
"The president was scheduled to speak at Osawatomie High School Tuesday and Jednoralski was planning to be there. He believes Kansas statute 22-2403 gives him the right to arrest Obama or any other person committing a crime.
Jednoralski said that a Secret Service agent visited him at his home Monday and confiscated a pair of high-security handcuffs that he had planned to use on Obama. The agent also took four guns into custody.
I was going to arrest him and drive him Topeka and turn him over to the state attorney general, Jednoralski told the Salina Journal.
I didnt really want to surrender my firearms because I feel I have the right to have them, and they were never mentioned in the attempted arrest, he complained.
If he comes to Kansas again, Ill try again. Ill put it out that I am going to make that attempt.
This form of vigilantism directed against the President of the United States should earn you couple of years in Leavenworth.
That is where Sheriff Joe should spend his golden years.

(5,763 posts)Then ask him why he doesn't turn his over (because he won't, he'll call it harassment) and then use the same investigative "techniques," the same sorts of luny conspiracy theories and the same denial of the obvious and rational Birthers have used against President Obama. See if we raise suspicions that he's an illegal immigrant or deep cover Chinese spy, or at least have fun with the parody.
jmowreader
(50,567 posts)Reason 1: The job Arpaio holds does not require you to be a natural-born citizen of the United States.
and, more importantly,
Reason 2: It would be illegible to your feeble eyes because it's written in Martian.
caseymoz
(5,763 posts)Or get him held as an illegal immigrant. In a tent city, I would hope. It would be fun to claim he's Mexican, only to have the Mexican Ambassador deny he is, and then go down through the list of countries.

(46,585 posts)The witch hunt he is undertaking isn't under his purview but no doubt he's hoping it serves as subterfuge to take focus away from his own legal problems.
You are a very silly man, Sheriff.

But no one -- not Arpaio, not me, not Barack Obama himself, is going to be handed the original copy of any selective service record (even assuming the "original" still exists and hasn't be saved in an electronic data base rather than in hard copy.

August 2004: Swiftboats Veterans for Truth
August 2008: Obama Nation
August 2012: ?
I'm going to bet that Arpaio and his Cold Cuts Posse will be continuing to push these smears for the next couple of months, before finally going all out and demand a grand jury investigation come August.

(27,787 posts)I love how they donate to the nut jobs pushing this stuff. I crack up every time one of their moronic lawsuits gets tossed in the trash.
And what I love most is their incredibly dimwitted demand that Obama be removed from office over their insane conspiracy theories.
Its hilarious.
