A Possible Explanation for Obama's Connecticut Social Security Number
American Thinker ^ | 14 SEP 2012 | Jack Cashill

Posted on 09/14/2012 2:20:12 AM PDT by rdb3

As I reported on Tuesday, Barack Obama has yet to provide an explanation for how he came to have a Social Security number that begins with the Connecticut prefix "042."

Filmmaker Joel Gilbert read the piece.  He has been in Hawaii doing follow-up research on his insightful new documentary, Dreams from My Real Father, and he sent me the single best explanation I have yet to see.

The last part is exactly what I think happened.

I’m pretty sure we do not deliberately re-issue ssnos of the recently departed

the number was issued to a gentleman born in 1890 that died in 1976

of course, grandma-the-0ne worked in an office where the ssnos flowed through. easy enough to grab one for Barry since he needs one for his choom-paying job

The zip code typo could be the correct explanation. Given the keyboard layout, 06814 instead of 96814 is a reasonable typing error. Way back when someone made a searchable file available, I searched for others in Hawaii who had Connecticut numbers. The search found several such people, at least 5, making the zip code explanation somewhat more credible.

The typo explanation may be ridiculous applied to the published bio blurb, but it seems to hold water here.

“Snopes concludes that “the most likely explanation” is a “simple clerical or typographical error.” Obama, they contend, lived in the Hawaii zip code of 96814, while the zip code for Danbury, CT is 06814.”

I recently looked up some relatives in the newly released 1940 Census records. Ancestry.com has digitized these to make them more easily searchable. I found several instances (among only a half dozen people checked) of errors in transcribing the handwritten entries, e.g., “Merrill” became “M. Enile” “Sara” became “Cora” etc.

Kapiolani Blvd. does run through Zip code 96814. Mis-reading a “9” as a “0” doesn’t seem like all that much of a stretch to me. Given such a readily available explanation, the principle of Occam’s razor suggests this may well be the solution to this puzzle.

BHO has a Hawaiian birth certificate:
1) His birth date never would have been published in 2 different papers unless his name appeared on a list of newborns circulated by the vital statistics office to the media. [This doesn’t rule out his having been born elsewhere and having applied for an out-of-hospital BC: my point is, he had a BC].
2) He alludes to his BC in his book etc.
3) The apparently doctored image on the WH Website may have had certain fields altered, etc. but in light of the contemporaneous newspaper announcements, it seems pretty implausible that the entire document was fabricated wholesale.
Therefore, there was no need to purchase a fraudulent SSN.

If this is true then you wouldn’t have another man with the same SSN.

My two sons were born at the same hospital.

They have two totally different SS starting sequences.

One is 176, the other is 207.

This is a stupid line of reasoning.

176 and 207 are both PA SSN’s ,, if your children were not twins and were born some time apart the numbers are reasonable.

The “bought ssn” answer is the most likely ,, especially as the deceased died right before the number was used by Obama ... The mob ran Hawaii then and still does now,, The lack of a good/genuine BC really leaves no other answer.

"Gilbert's theory is that the SSN problem is related to the question of Obama's birth certificate, which is required to get a SSN. Lacking a valid birth certificate, Obama was forced to buy an SSN so he could get his first job at the Baskin Robbins in 1977. In this theory, Obama was sold an SSN that was Connecticut-based so it couldn't be traced back to the Hawaii office."

This is exactly what happened.

Why are people making up rediculous excuses for this bum. Let him tell how he came to have a social security number from a place he never lived. Let him show his birth certificate as well. This clown is getting away with murder. He’d be out if I could affect it. He is not elligible to be president.

Let’s use Occam’s razor to cut through some of the lather and bubbles.

Forget the digitized crap the WH is peddling.

Show us your sealed personal copy of your birth certificate Mr. Obama. The one you were required to used for:

Passport and visa applications for your first world tour to Pakistan and Indonesia, copies of which reside with the State Department. Or... Maybe in the old DOJ Dept of Immigration and Naturalization archives

Application to Occidental, Columbia College, and Harvard.

Your first driver’s license.

You know, the original BC copy which every citizen has in their possession upon attaining age 18.

Oh, and while you’re digging Mr. Obama, as heir to your late mother, why don’t you pull out her documents. Specifically, her passport with her Indonesian visa and re-entry to the USA when she abandonded you to the care of her mother and father. Hmm, seems as though you also inherited their records. What a wealth of paperwork you have there sir!

It’s that simple.

The only thing that destroys any credibility on this is the fact that almost every other document of hard fact about obama has problems... down to his Selective Service card. ALL evidence to date points to a massive fraud of some sort. One or two... chance... but it is all over this guys history and I am buying none of the excuses.

"Snopes then repeats the irrelevant detail that Obama would only need to have sent his application in from Connecticut, but how or why the 16-year-old Obama could or would have done so is overlooked. Snopes concludes that "the most likely explanation" is a "simple clerical or typographical error."

Nonsense. Social Security numbers are based on information provided on line 16 of Social Security Form 5 (Application for Social Security Card). That's the applicant's mailing address at time of application. The card and new social security number would have been sent to that address.

Proper explanations all-around. Please eliminate one more problem with the SSN of our president - SSA does not re-issue SSNs. Look up a number that would have the proper three digit code at the front and see if that one is issued to anyone. How does a clerical error lead to re-issuing a used SSN?

Amen. The burden of proof lies squarely with barry.

You’re absolutely right.

Out of curiosity, I looked up the address of the Baskin Robbins where Obama scooped, and the address of the local Socialist Security office in Honolulu, and they are about 3 miles apart.

If Obama was able to get to that Baskin Robbins, he certainly wouldn’t have had a problem getting to the SS office so he could get the SSN he needed to get the job.

That office would NOT have given him a number with a Connecticut prefix.
