Guess what? I was born in Indiana and have a SS number associated with California. I had no idea I was a fraud. Obama’s Connecticut number is a curiosity, but hardly scandalous.

You haven't responded to all the people who questioned your statement. Should we take this to mean you applied for your SS# in California?

[Mr. Bird]

I didn't apply for mine; my parents did (or I assume they did, they are the ones that gave me the card). It is quite possible it was applied for in California (we traveled a lot). Again, this still makes it a curiosity. It is curious that Obama has a CT number. It is curious that the kid with the number immediately preceding it is dead (which is not the same as having the same number as a dead person).

I'd rather see the effort exerted on college records.
