Well, at least he registered. After all, 47 year old’s “might” get drafted.
***I registered around the same time as Obama but my paperwork supposedly got lost. So when my financial aid for college was denied due to the paperwork snafu, I simply tried to register again. But I was too old at 33. So he could not have registered at 47, unless the rules have changed since then.
That's what makes me doubt this story. Obama received financial aid/student loans for college & law school, something he could not have done if he were not registered.
