Did Obama Register With Selective Service?

Posted on 06/07/2008 1:19:25 PM PDT by mondonico

I suppose you can't fault a candidate for not volunteering for the military, particularly in the late 1970s when Obama came of military age.

However, I do think it is important to know whether a male candidate for Commander-in-Chief registered for the draft. I remember doing it in 1981. Obama should have in 1979. I wonder if he did, given his foreign upbringing and foreign/lefty background.

Anyone know how to check this? The Selective Service website required birthdate and social security number.

I’ll have to take your word for it: I’ve never seen or heard the commercials.

So you have to notify them if you move? What is up with that?

Just another way for Big Brother to keep track of its subjects.

“Now that’s an interesting constitutional question!
Would that be interpreted as only applying civil service jobs? I bet it would!
Can the “people” can constitutionally elect a candidate who can not legally get a job in the federal civil service.”

On reflection, you’re right. The Constitution sets the eligibility requirements for the office of president, not the Congress.

Yep. I registered at the post office in 1974. After a talk from our high school gym/health teacher.

It's quite likely, that a document such as a mortgage deed would list a SSN for BO. Since we already know his birthdate, that would enable anyone to search the online Selective Service database (to verify if BO did or did not, register with the government -- as he was required to by federal law).

I would ask that any freeper who is near Chicago and has an hour of weekday time, could search these documents and obtain the needed SSN, to complete this research.

(Disclaimer: Please note that information listed below, is a matter of available puclic record. It is presented the status of BO's draft registration (or lack of it) is relevant to his fitness to become commander-in-chief (and may in fact, become a major campaign issue)).

According to the website for the Cook County Register of Deeds (in Chicago, Illinois), here are recorded documents associated with Barack Obama (using his name, not a trust name):

Lots of information, thanks! You need to post this on a more current thread.

How can you never have registered for the SS? I hope you don’t go around calling others unpatriotic.

I did create a new thread (asking a Chicago area Freeper, for one hour research -- to pull a SSN off one of the older public "mortgage" type documents, and to distribute that SSN #PRIVATELY# so that we could check the online public Selective Service database).

However, for some reason, that thread was quickly pulled.

Are there any voulnteers, here?

I cannot give you advice on this research99 as I don’t know why your thread was pulled.

Obviously, what you posted has remained on this thread so it must be OK.

You could just try posting it elsewhere??

Bump

Positive proof of this would lose Obama loads of votes

But getting documentation might be a problem

And numerous trolls and sleepers and losers on FR would say “Stop it! Let’s win on the issues!”
