Why Barack Obama's Social Security card application might have included a Connecticut mailing address is something of a curiosity, as he had no known connection to that state at the time, but by itself that quirk is no indicator of fraud. The most likely explanation for the discrepancy is a simple clerical or typographical error: the ZIP code in the area of Honolulu where Barack Obama lived is 96814, while the ZIP code for Danbury, Connecticut, is 06814. Since '0' and '9' are similarly shaped numbers and are adjacent on typewriter keyboards, it's not uncommon for handwritten examples to be mistaken for each other, or for one to be mistyped as the other (thereby potentially resulting in a Hawaiian resident's application mistakenly being routed as if it had originated from Connecticut).
Snopes publishes hundreds of Hussein-kissing posts A DAY.
The Mikkelsons can’t do enough to support the Fraud.
So a mistyped zip code resulted in a SS security card with the assignement of a CT number that was then sent to Hawaii? Hard to believe that the zip code is that controlling compared to the actual application for the number and the address of the person requesting it. This explanation sounds like something Obama would offer.
Snopes really had to contort themselves for that one!
You have to love the ‘mis-typed’ zip code scenario. Another ‘dog ate the homework’ excuse.
Also remember the O’Reilly stated unequivocally that the reason for the CT SS number was that father Obama applied for it while at Harvard.
Of course what O’Reilly said was completely wrong for many reasons. But it shows the ‘excuses’ were varied on this until they found this one.
The zip code theory was born from Fogbow on their forum. No basis in fact. They just all agreed it would be ‘the story’ going forward.

From above:
“Most likely, this was due to a clerical error. At the time, President Obama was only 15 years old, and lived with his grandparents in an address on Beretania Street. The President’s house in Hawaii was in zip code 96814 and the zip code for Danbury, CT. is 06814. Since the ‘0’ and ‘9’ on a typical typewriter are immediately adjacent (remember, the president’s Social Security number was issued in 1977, before the age of computers), it would have been a common error to accidently type a ‘0’ when the ZIP code really began with a ‘9’. Another possibility is that President Obama, a left-handed 15 year old boy at the time, may have written his own ZIP code in a less-than-fully-legible manner, making the ‘9’ look somewhat like an ‘0’.”
January 5, 2011 is when this theory came to life.

“Am I right in thinking that the typo hypothesis would be supported by any Zip code that begins with 960- through 969-, corresponding to CT’s range of 060-/069-? And aren’t all HA Zip codes in the 967-/968- range?
If that’s the case, why is Orly making a stink about a specific 5-digit code?
Edited to add:
In other words, wouldn’t any HA Zip code turn into a CT Zip code if the initial “9” (which they all have) were misread as a “0”?”
Everything on this theory comes from this January 5, 2011 post....
The Connecticut SS number was the number that had already been assigned to an elderly man. It was not a new number.
Obama never used the Connecticut SS# until the 1980’s. This was long after he had left Hawaii. During his earlier life and at Occidental College he had a SS# granted only to foreigners. He did not use this SS number at Occidental College, that is for certain.
Bill Ayers and other members of the Weather Underground and other leftist groups were taught to obtain fraudulent SS numbers and false identities. Ayers and Obama were in NYC together in the 1980’s. Though both claim to have met for the first time at a fund raiser for Obama’s political campaign at Ayers house in Chicago.
Ayers and Obama were both on the same boards of the Woods Foundation and the Annenberg Fund long before their supposed meeting. Obama was also seen at Ayers parent's house thanking them for their help.
The fake SS number was created for Obama in the 1980’s.

Dear Snopes,
How about getting the facts instead of guessing?! Demand the jackass provide the answer like you would if it were a Republican/Conservative. There would be no guessing in that case and no defending and/or explaining something you can’t answer.

I suppose you also believe the date stamp just happened to malfunction the day poor Little-why’s-everybody-always-picking-on-me-Barry registered for the draft?
The number of sheer, wild, staggering coincidences in this Fraud’s life are...incredible.
WRONG! Another Snopes lie!
According to Ancestry.com, the zip code for Stanley A Dunham’s residence in 1987 at 1617 S Beretania is 96826, NOT 96814. This Stanley is Barack Obama’s grandfather, not his mother. This is the same address and zip code on Obama’s 1980 selective service registration....
