Internet giant Google today was hushing up the new dispute over President Obama's strange Social Security number by diverting searches for news reports on the issue to unrelated stories about Elena Kagan, oil, Tampa and the Federal Reserve.
The actual story, posted on WND.com, explained how two private investigators – working independently – are asking why 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.
Under a Google news search for "President Obama Social Security number," the top four results all quoted, "By Jerome R. Corsi Two private investigators working independently are asking why President Obama is using aSocial Security number set aside for applicants…"
Is Google 'evil'? Read the arguments in Joseph Farah's "Stop the Presses!"
However, the first link is to Politico's story about "Gay rights central to Elena Kagan fight," the second links to Politico's "Senate clears measure to audit Federal Reserve" story, the third links to a Politico story about the GOP plans for a convention in Tampa in 2012, and the last links to a Politico story about "Oil executives play pass the buck."
Google spokesman Jake Hubert told WND that it appeared to be a "bug in the snippets."
He said the company was looking into it.

So why is he?
I found this on Google:http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/2442166/posts
I actually noticed this when I did several google searches related to this topic. Most of them took me to stories completely unrelated to what I was searching for.

How about IXQUICK. Use totally.
I just got 1,780,000 results.
If they are hiding it...........there’s something to hide. Keep digging.
Google seems to have by far the most powerful search engine. But, I agree that they are biased and, well, evil.
At the moment I have a new Dell computer, and I’m using Bing. Unfortunately none of the search engines appears to be entirely satisfactory.
use Bing.com for your routine searches, avoid the politics at Google.
Too bad Google. That story has been out for a while. Some has it copied for safe keeping.
when I copy/pasted it into google, several of the stories were on the top of the list...
It wasnt hidden
I just tried bing, and it turns up most of the relevant articles, including this one on google’s efforts to bury it.
“But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.” Dan 12:4
Knowledge is everywhere- wisdom is in short supply.
I think WND is just mad that their story doesn’t come up first in the Google search. Yahoo/Goodsearch & Google return similar results for “Obama+social+security+number” or “Obama+social+security+number+connecticut”.
