You're right to want to read the theory in the original, as birthers are notoriously unreliable sources. As you will be able to verify for yourself, the birther with whom you were interacting failed to describe the theory accurately:
http://www.obamaconspiracy.org/2011/02/typographical-error/
In a nutshell, the theory is that Obama's SSN begins with an 042 because the typist who entered his zip code into a computer mistyped a "9" as a zero.
You see, SSN's are assigned based on the zip code of the mailing address indicated on the application. Bascially, a clerk types the zip code into a computer, and the computer generates a SSN. It turns out that if you mistype the leading "9" as a "0" in the Honolulu zip code at which Obama was residing when a teenager, you'll get a Connecticut zip code.
Furthermore, since the Social Security Administration does not attach any importance to the leading 3 digits of the SSN, using it only as a bookkeeping device, there would be no reason to assign Obama a new SSN once the error was discovered.
Given that government bureaucrats committ typographical with some frequency, I believe this is the only plausible explanation for him having a SSN beginning with 042 that I've seen anyone come up with.
Thoughts?
You and Kleon are a famous pair. How did it take you two so long to find each other?
Kleon, what are your thoughts on Obama and marxism? Depending on your answer, you may have found a soulmate.
This is my top WTF post of the month... no wait, maybe of the year. Are you serious??? This is the most ‘blatant troll try to cover up Obongo’s lies post’ I think I have ever seen here in FR. Seriously. I think you are in full meltdown mode as the poll numbers show your hero is going down in flames. I’ll give you a month, tops, before you get the zot.
I’ll get to work on your past post when I have time and see if we can get that zot date moved up. How many “extra” screen names do you have lined up?
interesting bogus theory 0bot!
There are zer0 SSN’s that begin with 942. SSN’s for Hawaii begin with 575!
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?
