Right. I posted the Catch 22 on another thread. No way to come up with a number without it causing more problems.
UNLESS...the certificate i.d. is a problem in and of itself?
methinks he probably obtained a passport on the basis of a valid birth certificate, the only problem he has now is, that birth certificate most likely identifies him as BARRY DUNHAM or BARRY SOERTORO.
Having invented himself as Barack Hussein Obama, he now has nothing to confirm his identity as the Obamamessiah.
It's a little late to change his name officially, by Deed Poll now, isn't it?
VOTE FOR BARRY DUNHAM! BARRY DUNHAM FOR CHANGE! just doesn't have the same ring to it, does it? If his credibility wasn't already shot down in flames, it is now. Catch 22. Bet he wishes he had never written that autobiography.
Actually there is a logical reason why the Obama campaign would want to black out the number. By not releasing the number they make it impossible for a Photoshop artist to produce an altered Obama birth certificate and claim it is the real one.
