President Obama's potentially criminal use of a mysterious, Connecticut-based Social Security Number should become an important issue in his quest for re-election in 2012, says a former presidential candidate and ambassador in Ronald Reagan's administration.
Alan Keyes, who most recently sought the Republican nomination in 2008, discussed concerns about why Obama has a number reserved for Connecticut applicants, despite the president's never having lived in the Constitution State.
The first three digits of Obama's SSN are 042. That code falls within the range of numbers for Connecticut, which according to the Social Security Administration has been 040 through 049.
"I believe that when you are confronted with a situation that is filled with these kinds of – what shall we call them – anomalies, disparities, it is reasonable common sense to want to try to get straight answers," said Keyes.
"If you're trying to ascertain whether or not somebody ought to be sitting with, as they used to say, their finger on the button of nuclear weapons that can blow up the world, their power extending to decisions that can collapse our economy, their influence extending to areas that can destroy the standards and moral conscience of our people in the eyes of the world, I think you might want to know who they were. It might be a good idea!"

it would help Obama more than hurt him if it were an election issue
Getting people “banned” is generally very time consuming. It involves scouring through every post has made and looking for patterns of abuse and inconsistencies that can be pointed out to the moderators in current discussions. After they are banned a true troll just goes underground for a short period before coming back under a different pseudonym. Trolls expect to be banned so they sign up with multiple pseudonyms when they first target a forum such as Free Republic.
The other downside is that once the satisfaction of eliminating your arch rival fades... you begrudgingly start to miss them because they are the ones who really get you to research and perfect your arguments. If everyone on a thread agrees it gets a few hoorays and then disappears. The threads with heated discussions can go on for weeks. I think that is why the moderators are fairly tolerant of those who are mildly disruptive but don't go overboard.
I may be missing something in your post, but no matter if a typist made an error, didn’t the SSA report that the # he has used (Amongst others)was never issued? So that blows your theroy. no?
Would it not involve *mistakenly* typing more then just the zero? Two #’s would have been typed wrong. Statistics probably would say, not much probability of that
Current Hawaii zip codes: http://www.mongabay.com/igapo/zip_codes/HA.htm
Honolulu is 96801 through 96850.
Now say you live in 96810 and put that in a form. Then the person entering that form into a computer system dives for the 9 but hits 0 instead. If the computer system sorts by zip code it now thinks you live in 06810 or Danbury Connecticut.
Or maybe BHO’s teenage handwriting was so sloppy that his 9’s looked like zeros and it just got entered that way.
Regardless the idea is that this is then one person making one error (more plausible) and not a massive conspiracy involving both political parties (somewhat less plausible).

Gotta disagree with you there. Since jamese777 was zotted I have not missed him one single nanosecond. Nor did his relentless trollish repetition of wasted-bandwidth twaddle ever sharpen any of my facts or thinking. He was a disruptor Obot pure and simple, and FR is vastly improved without him.
Also, give the Mods a little credit. When jamese sneaked back on under the guise of jh4freedom, they zotted his a$$ quite handily. They are up to the challenge.
They say really nasty things about Dr. Corsi, WND, Joseph Farah, or anyone they have identified as their opposition I suppose. They post photo-shopped images of the previously mentioned individuals with crazy eyeballs etc... Then they try to claim that they are conservatives who just don't want the rest of us to be worrying about this stuff because they don't want outsiders to think that we are crazy. It is a little confusing to me when someone who posts pictures of other persons with animated eyeballs going round and round makes another post claiming that they are just trying to help keep others from thinking freepers are nutty.
Sorry just me rambling. Thanks for your response Fantasywriter.
Thanks for your reply. You made some stellar points and it was a pleasure to read them. I hadn’t viewed the photoshopped imagesin quite that way, but I can see exactly what you’re talking about. Good insights!
Going back to your previous comments, re: how the trolls sharpen our facts and debating skills, etc. [I’m paraphrasing], I’d just like to add a word about the poster in question. His/her idea of ‘debate’ so far has been to tell me how stupid and ignorant I am. I have responded with links to dispel the poster’s erroneous charges, and have requested links (to bolster his/her arguments) in return. The most I’ve gotten is, ‘Because I say so’.
Iow, Obama is not a marxist because (1) I, FW, am too ignorant to even know what a marxist is [despite my links to the contrary] and (2) Obama is not a marxist because curiosity says he’s not, case closed.
If the powers that be ever see fit to zot curiosity, please let me assure you I will not miss him/her any more than I would a thumbtack in the sole of my sneaker, nor will I look back and say, ‘At least he/she made me think my arguments through’. Being an arrogant jackass doesn’t make anybody think their arguments out more thoroughly, imho.
Fwiw.
Do you realize how many good conservatives have been ridiculed by the birthers for no reason besides not buying into their whacked-out conspiracy theories?
The ridicule goes both ways. From what I have personally witnessed, so-called ‘birthers’ took the brunt of it and then responded in kind. I don’t see any need for ridicule in either direction. Let HuffPo, DU and Kos ridicule conservatives; there’s no need for us to ridicule each other.
He was making stuff up about both himself to bolster his claims that he had expert knowledge and mixing truth and fiction about the subjects we were discussing. His claims became more and more outlandish as he tried to defend his original statements. Eventually he got himself banned. The research that I did trying to expose his lies and exagerations was time consuming but I realized after it was over that he had caused me to expand my knowledge and arguments. I am fairly certain that Enderwiggens is still with us and I have a pretty good idea about his current pseudonym. He is more careful now.
That is a very interesting story. I have never done that level of research in response to a troll, which is why I didn’t see where you were coming from originally. Hats off, for digging deep and exposing misinformation. You are one of the people who make these threads so worthwhile. Thank you!
For whatever reason, the trolls and bots I run into do not inspire me to dig. Their mindless repetitions burn bandwidth and little else. Ninety-nine percent of jamese777’s ‘arguments’ could be condensed into, ‘If you could get a judge to rule in your favor you might make a little progress’. Except that he used thousands of words to express his tautological mantra, and he repeated it over and over and over and over. It was obnoxious to the exclusion of all else.
Most of the others I’ve encountered prefer the sophisticated route, i.e.: “I’m smart and savvy and you’re ignorant, stupid, insane and gullible.” Not much to engage with there. I’m a borderline genius, very well educated and a hundred times more sane than anybody who believes ***anything*** Obama says about himself and his ‘anointed’ history. Yet in the minds of the bots and trolls, I’ll always be a dupe. Whatever.
Anyway, props again for going toe to toe with Enderwiggens. If you ever want to PM me and share your suspicions re: his reincarnation, I’m open to that too. Meanwhile, these threads will continue to divide the wheat from the chaff, i.e.: those who want to get to the bottom of Obamas lies and fraud and those who want to mock and ridicule us for not accepting Obama’s word as a priori truth. That’s a distinction I can live with.
“...the computer would have kicked out the error.”
What leads you to this conclusion?
It’s a fact. The SSA has data integrity checks built into their data entry software. A misentered zip code beginning with 068 would not match up with any city in Hawaii!
But did they in the 70’s?
Maybe they did. I do not know one way or the other.
If the first three digits were no longer terribly important, they might not have cared enough at the time to have that written into the software in a time when software capability and program size was much more limited.
FARRAKHAN: Abraham Lincoln, the sixteenth president. Thomas Jefferson, the third president, and 16 and three make 19 again. What is so deep about this number 19? Why are we standing on the Capitol steps today? That number 19 — when you have a nine you have a womb that is pregnant. And when you have a one standing by the nine, it means that there’s something secret that has to be unfolded.
He’s clinically insane and should be institutionalized.
Oh wait; we’re talking about Farrakhan? I thought we were discussing Obama.
In a sane world Farrakhan would be doodling crayon pictures in a place that prohibited sharp objects. We live in strange times, when a man like Farrakhan is anything but locked up or ridiculed. [Love the quote, btw. It captures the insanity beautifully.]
Back when I lived in Cleveland, Bernie Kosar the Browns qb was #19. Mike Trivissono, a crazy funny afternoon radio talk guy (who’s still on) used to play the Farrakhan clip “what is so deep about that number 19” about a dozen times an hour.
