Arizona's Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio told WND he has assigned a five-member "Cold Case Posse" to investigate the authenticity of Barack Obama's birth certificate.
The decision, he says, is simply a matter of doing his duty.
"This investigation does not involve politics," Arpaio told WND. "I listen to all the residents of Maricopa County who come to my office with complaints, regardless what their politics are.
"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 continued. "When I get allegations brought to me by the citizens of Maricopa County, I look into the allegations, just like I am doing here."
Arpaio explained to WND that there are over 3,000 people who participate in his office's volunteer posse program.
The "Cold Case Posse," however, has been described as a "posse within the posse," consisting of volunteers with professional experience in conducting investigations, including individuals chosen because of their professional backgrounds in law enforcement, as well as lawyers who have participated in criminal or civil cases and individuals with specialized skills in fields ranging from accounting to conducting criminal forensic examinations.
In the past few months, the Cold Case Posse has been inactive, largely because of budgetary limitations within the Maricopa County Sheriff's office.
But in the past few days, Arpaio has assigned a 5-person group serving under the auspices of the Cold Case Posse to undertake the Obama birth certificate investigation.

Yup, that would be a constraint. For some, it would be worth living in smaller digs and remote from the mainland to be able to visit a nice beach most days of the year.
Maybe Orly knocked on his door
Not the county gummit?
The Sheriff is an independent elected official for the county.
It is nice there and you can always watch the islands grow with the lava for fun.
He's a little busy - if you know anything about all he's doing - and fighting
With active volcanism going on there, one might wonder when it might get in the mood to spew ash over the entire chain of islands.
No. The County electorate. The voters.
It does so on parts of islands regularly.
Some might find that romantic.
It’s an elected office, but somebody pays him, some governmental structure exists to tax and cut checks... few would want to be elected sheriff if they had to do it for free.
Not anyone’s dream unless you are into nightmares.
A 2009 story.
Officers Run Background Check On Obama; Placed On Leave

DEKALB COUNTY, Ga. -- Two DeKalb County police officers have been placed on paid administrative leave after an investigation revealed they ran a background check on President Barack Obama.
A representative for the DeKalb County CEO’s office identified the officers as Ryan White and C.M. Route.
Officials said Obama’s name was typed into a computer inside a DeKalb County police car on July 20 and ran through the National Crime Information Center.
The secret service was immediately notified and contacted the DeKalb County Police Department.
A representative said both officers have been with the department less than five years.
A representative said one of the officers denied involvement.
An official investigation is being conducted by the DeKalb County Police Department’s Internal Affairs division.
It is unclear why the officers ran a check on the president. "

The posse should contact these DeKalb officers to ask if they came up with anything back in 2009 and do a comparison.
Kind of strange, if the volcanoes are likely to spew lava all over built up areas. I thought the flow was pretty much predictable, and if you go into an active lava area that’s your fault.
Well here is something that scares me. What if the Posse does the investigation and then says that Obama is a real American after all??? Because so far, Dr. Taitz has been giving Obama plenty of rope to mess up with and Obama and his little Obotski Twerps have taken the bait. They could have just given stuff up a long time ago and put a end to all the questions, and as long as they don’t, then the questions continue and the smart half of Birtherdom lives on.
Sooo, like what happens if the Posse says the Hawaii stuff is OK, BEFORE the 2012 elections??? Because I think it is only fair that if Obama wanted to play this stupid game until April 2011, he shouldn’t get to walk away before November 2012 because we did what he should have done.
Obama’s justice dept went to arizona to try to stop his catching of illegals and sending them to jail or back home...don’t mess with a sheriff from the west...It is a powerful job with the county....
Well I’d sure wonder where the “real birth certificate” had been hidden all these years. The Bummer himself claimed to have had a copy on display in his younger years. Where’d it go? Did his handlers rip it up as part of the scrubbing?
I think we finally got the real one in April, and Obama just messed it up on his website to keep the Birther Issue alive. It is the only issue he has to motivate his Obots with, because everything else he has touched has turned to poop.
