Tables Turned on White House Press Corps October 3, 2011 Press Release
I have two questions, not for the President, but for the White House Press Corps.
1. Why is Barack Obama using a Social Security Number , issued out of Connecticut in 1977, when he was 15 years old and living in Hawaii? Keep in mind that if you are over 12 years old you have to apply for your SSN in person.
2. The President held a press conference on April 27th, 2011. He announced that he had requested a waiver from the Hawaii Department of Health (DOH), in order to obtain a photo copy of his original, long-form, Certificate of Live Birth instead of the computer generated Certification of Live Birth per Hawaii DOH policy.
He gave the press a letter from his lawyer Judith Corley requesting the waiver and a letter from Hawaii DOH Director Loretta Fuddy granting the waiver. This waiver allowed the President to get a photo copy of his original birth certificate.
But he did not post a photo copy on the White House website he posted a computer generated document. You don’t need a waiver from the Hawaii DOH to get a computer generated birth record and scanning a photo copy in to a computer does not turn it in to a computer generated document. So where is the photo copy of the President’s Certificate of Live Birth and why did he lie about posting it?
Press Challenge: Forget about whether or not the President will answer these questions. Can YOU answer them?

It’s sad, isn’t it ? No one trusts anyone any more.
I love to tell the story of my best friend and I, ages 11 and 9, respectively, being allowed by our parents to ride the NYC subway alone from Queens to Manhattan for a day at the “Y.” hahaahha can you even IMAGINE that today???
Not only were we safe, but when she got on the train and I was left crying on the platform, adults came along to comfort me, and told me she’d be waiting for me at the next stop .. which she was! And we did it all without cells.
Shhh, don’t go around asking such questions or you’ll be on the Attack Watch list!!!
Are you certain about that? My sons are in their 30's and we got them SS #s via mail when they were in their teens and wanted to find jobs.
Way back when, people (at least in large numbers) didn’t file false deductions for kids, there was a certain level of trust that no longer exists.
Actually that’s not true. On 4/15/1987 seven million children disappeared in the US overnight.
That’s the date the IRS started requiring SS# for all minor dependents on their tax returns.
oh, I know there was that cheating going on, probably since the inception of SS. But what raw # of children were reported the year before? What percent does 7M represent of the total number of children claimed?
When I referred to ‘back when” I wasn’t referring to the 70s and 80s when it became rampant and necessary to require kids’ SS#s.
Well, according to here
http://www.childstats.gov/americaschildren/tables/pop1.asp?popup=true
there were 63.1 million children in the US in 1987, so over 10% disappeared.
hey, I ADDED 3 in ‘87, does that help?
I didn’t have to apply in person either. My parents applied for me before my 16th birthday.
wintertime:
I must say, your ill-considered comments referring to my post, and to me, as an Obama defender/apologist/excuse-maker and “useful idiot,” warrant an apology.
If you have any comprehension skills, instead of just reading what you want a post to say, you would have recognized that I was advising ethical that SS rules/regs changed dramatically in the early 80’s, and that in 1977 a 12 year old did not have to go in person to obtain a SS#. I tend to prefer accuracy when addressing matters relating to Obama and the WH press corps. Pity if that offends you.
I shall await your apology.
Wow on #16. None of that made any sense at all.
I got my SS card in 1968-69. Neither I or my parents had to apply in person. I just called my dad to confirm it.
My sons got their cards, as I posted earlier, when they were around 15-16 years old in the mid 80's. Neither mom, dad or the the boys had to apply in person.
I had to apply for mine in Michigan in person in about 1956. I needed it because I was going to work for Wrigley’s Super Market, bagging groceries for .65c an hour plus tips. I was 14.
There is a silver lining to the progressives reaching the point of shooting the useful idiots, most of the Media are useful idiots. Large numbers of PHDs are useful idiots. The Democrat herd would be considerably thinned.
Oh wow! You're OOOOOOFended!
No way, is an apology forthcoming. Obama entire past life is one big collection of thousands of “explanations”! We see them every day on Free Republic. Yours is just one more floating around in the toilet bowl of Obama’s life. Normal people don't have to explain their lives. Their lives are straight forward.
Ethical, the only question I posed was about having to apear in person at a Social Security office to obtain a SS# in 1977. I think you may have wrong information about having to apply in person for a SOCIAL SECURITY card in 1955. I applied for mine in 1960 by mail. It may be be, as I noted above, that you might be confusing the 1955 requirements for a SOCIAL SECURITY card with a SELECTIVE SERVICE card. I can’t vouch for 1955, only 1960. However, I DO think there’s confusion there between the two “SS” cards.
My intent was to offer a suggestion from a friendly source rather than to be challenged by the WH press corps. Apparently it’s been taken as some sort of Obama defense, which couldn’t be farther from the truth, but I am quite thru with this thread. Good luck with your quest.
Actually, I’m neither offended nor surprised. I just was testing to see if you had the guts to recognize what an ill-informed response you posted to my suggestion to ethical, and to apologize for it. I doubted it and you proved my assumption.
Your tagline is a hoot. What have YOU done for Constitutional restoration? Post on a website? My life partner and I have filed four SCOTUS petitions and/or amicus briefs, two of which were accepted in winning cases, all for conservative causes. How’s that for straightforward?
So odd that people have different recollections, which makes me wonder if things were different in different states. I got my social security card when I was 14/15 (1974/5)while living in Georgia and I remember filling out the paperwork and mailing it. In fact, it might have been the first 'real' piece of mail. It was a big deal to me because that mean I was so very very grown up.
