Well, that was a laughable waste of time, wasn't it?
I can't wait to read boyntonstu's analysis, though!

So what were the revelations?
Well on the one hand I am completely shocked that I have devoted as much time to debunking this conspiracy theory as I have, and on the other actually confused as to how suddenly a 1982 law makes someone born in the 60s suspect?More crap about layers, some nonsense about the census code used to mark the race of Obama's father, and the big bombshell was that Hawai'i passed a law in 1982 which allowed for the registration of out-of-state births (something which has literally been known and debunked since pretty much the beginning of birtherism - it was brought up in this very thread way back in October of 2009), so that (according to Zullo, Corsi's BFF on the Cold Cuts Posse) all Hawaiian birth certificates are suspect, not just President Obama's, and this is a "national security issue".
Here's WND's dutiful regurgitation of these "shocking new discoveries".
Then again...this is just becoming political theatre specifically trying to create FUD before an election. Painfully obvious given Jerome "swift boater" Corsi is involved in all this.
Very true. Even though the government has been investigating the ol' Sheriff for years he can now attempt to create the narrative that Obama is after him because of the citizenship "issue".I think the timing of this particular press conference had less to do with political theater to muddle the election, and more to do with political theater muddling the Federal profiling lawsuit against Shurf Joe that's due to start just two days from today.

Fox News: Sheriff Joe Arpaio says Obama birth record 'definitely fraudulent,'

What would it matter if the father's race was "not stated?"
Their argument is apparently that since the coding says the information was "not stated", but the fields have information in them meaning the info was stated, the discrepancy proves forgery (in the usual sort of Birther anti-logic way).
In discussing the Certification of Live Birth that the Obama campaign claims was posted on the web, Orly Taitz also asserts that “Hawaii has statute 338 that allows foreign-born children of Hawaiian residents to get Hawaiian birth certificates.” What she is referring to here is the 1982 amendment of the vital records law. Under Act 182 H.B. NO. 3016-82, state policies and procedures could accommodate even “children born out of State” (this is the actual language of Act 182) with an original birth certificate on record. But though Act 182 does provide children born out of state with a birth certificate it does not provide them with birth certificates that say that these children were born in Hawaii or at a specific location in Hawaii. Consequently these birth certificates cannot engender Certifications of Live Birth which state that the subject was born in Honolulu, as the purported Obama Certification of Live Birth does. So if the Obama Certification of Live Birth was not forged, it could not have been engendered by an Act 182-authorized birth certificate for “children born out of state”. And if it was forged, the false information on it was not based on anything that could be on an Act-182 authorized birth certificate. So Orly Taitz’ assertion that “Hawaii has statute 338 that allows foreign-born children of Hawaiian residents to get Hawaiian birth certificates” is irrelevant.
The key to understanding this controversy is understanding practices for granting birth certificates in Hawaii in 1961. The media has failed repeatedly to seriously investigate this issue. Mike Zullo finally got to the heart of the issue.
In 1961, forty percent of Hawaiian births were not in hospitals. Natives and Japanese citizens routinely had children at home. After a home birth all you had to do was send in a form reporting the birth to obtain a birth certificate. You would also get the much heralded birth announcement by sending in this form because the department of health was the source for those announcements.
Routinely in 1961 children born abroad were given Hawaii birth certificates as a result of these forms. Arpaio has numerous examples of children born in Japan who today have birth certificates attesting to birth in Honolulu. Obama’s Grandmother or Grandfather could have easily filed this form even if Obama was born in Kenya or anywhere else. It is likely they wanted to protect his American citizenship which would not have been automatic in 1961.
