OBAMA FROM CONNECTICUT?

The Birther issue is one I decided quite some time ago was a distraction not worth spending much time on. That said, this latest story, which may only be tied to birther-gate tangentially, could have some substance to it. Is it true that Barack Obama is using a Social Security number issued from the state of Connecticut? If so, the next logical question would be why? He has no ties to that state and never listed it as a place of residence.

Jerome Corsi reports on this extremely curious development at World Net Daily:

Two private investigators working independently are asking why President Obama is using a Social Security number set aside for applicants in Connecticut while there is no record he ever had a mailing address in the state.

In addition, the records indicate the number was issued between 1977 and 1979, yet Obama's earliest employment reportedly was in 1975 at a Baskin-Robbins ice-cream shop in Oahu, Hawaii.

Those two private investigators are Susan Daniels, licensed in Ohio and John N. Sampson who is from Colorado. Both Daniels and Sampson have claimed to identify the first three numbers of Obama's Social Security number as starting with 042. Connecticut is the only state to have issued numbers that started with 040 - 049.

Is fraud the only explanation for this? According to Daniels, it is:

"There is obviously a case of fraud going on here," Daniels maintained. "In 15 years of having a private investigator's license in Ohio, I've never seen the Social Security Administration make a mistake of issuing a Connecticut Social Security number to a person who lived in Hawaii. There is no family connection that would appear to explain the anomaly."

Daniels goes on to say that she is "staking (her) reputation" on the number being "fraudulent".

There is even more on the date this alleged social security number was issued; it was well after Obama had previously worked in Hawaii. Having two social security numbers is illegal so the logical conclusions would necessarily be that either Obama worked illegally in Hawaii or he was issued two Social Security numbers. As is the case with so much about this president, it doesn't pass the smell test.

Reading this story jogged my memory about the extremely questionable aspects surrounding Obama's Selective Service registration. Debbie Schlussel did an extensive report on it back in November, 2008.
