Obamas Selective Service Registration Form is Apparently 1990 Form Altered to Appear Like 1980 Form On the SSS Form 1, in the lower left hand corner is the form number (SSS Form 1) and the month and year version of the form, labeled as B. On this particular Form 1, it clearly shows the month as FEB (February), and the year is either 80″ or 90″. The retired federal agent investigated further:
Magnification of the form both physically (with a 10x glass) or with different image software does not reflect a clear cut result of either a 80″ or a 90″.
Now, being that the central office for SSS data entry is in Chicago, could we suppose that the 1980 DLN number was associated with a deceased person? From Bentley's report at Sonora News:
Last week Sonoran News received a response to a FOIA request for 17 SS records for the purpose of making comparisons.
Every single one of them has a four-digit year stamp, including two registrations processed at the very same post office, one within days of Obamas.
In fact, Bruce Henderson, now deceased, whose birthday was also in August 1961, registered on Aug. 2, 1980 at the Makiki station and his SS number is 61-1125522-7, just 27 numbers apart from Obamas.
The 10-digit DLN on his registration form reads: 0897080613 and the 11-digit DLN on the computer printout reads: 0897 080 6130, indicating a zero had been added to the end.
Hendersons registration was also entered in the same batch as Obamas on Sept. 4, 1980. Our FOIA request was initially made in October 2009, but after receiving neither a response nor an acknowledgement, a subsequent request was made in December 2009 via certified mail, the receipt of which was promptly acknowledged.
Again, just thinking out loud here.
It's only a "non-issue" if you believe there is no question this is his handwriting.
