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 a Social Security number set aside for applicants "
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.
The report on Obama's number revealed records indicate it 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.
WND obtained copies of affidavits filed separately in a presidential eligibility lawsuit in the U.S. District Court of the District of Columbia by Ohio licensed private investigator Susan Daniels and Colorado private investigator John N. Sampson.
The investigators believe Obama needs to explain why he is using a Social Security number reserved for Connecticut

Clusty.com is great
I was a fly on the wall at at google programmers only meeting. The CTO was instructing 200+ programmers how they should lie. “Accuracy is secondary, just make the results of searches look like they are accurate.” Lots of really blatant google serving evil. I was shocked.
Dishonesty is a google company policy.
I just did a google search on “obama social security number”. The top 5 replies all were about (drumroll please) Obama’s social security number.
I have had no problem with google but I prefer clusty. Clusty gets more useful entries up front and fewer ads.
Jeez, Google said “they are looking into it”, why wouldn’t we believe them? (tee hee)
I too use Clusty. Its terrific!
Anyone who is still using Google is being watched.

According to the article, it wasn't the results that were the problem. The problem is, when you click on the links, they take you to the wrong places.
I think the piece’s main concern was about the WND story being lost from google news, not the general search. Must read the story..
“His supposed parents were communists. I wonder if they were soviet agents?”
They have the right history & kind of look the part.
I don’t know if you are joking, but no ,each person in American is issued (1) and only one social security number for your entire life. This is how the goverment tracks you for ss retirement. If a person has more than one ss number it’s not legal and normally used for fraud. If a college student has more than one SS number( it appears obama did) and applies for college grants under more than one, he is commiting a felony. This is the reason some people are attempting to check obama’s background.

I just got back from vacation and, out of curiosity, typed “obama social security number” into Google. I got all the hyperventilating stuff you folks claim Google is hiding, so what are you talking about?
