The amazing thing is that these SSN goofs are amateur-level mistakes (not even rookie mistakes!), and it's obvious from the wording WND uses that they know that there's nothing behind these claims. But they allow WND to whip up some subscriptions and donations, even if it makes their readers look like fools.

They know most people don't know much about the topic and won't take the time to learn about it more than superficially. Trouble is, I actually went to 5315 Gorniak Drive in Parlin, NJ, for example (one of the places Orly Taitz claimed President Obama listed as an address), and guess what...there are people named Obama who aren't the same one as the guy in the big White House.

If John Smith becomes President, Hoo-Boy! Using their methods shown here, the birther hucksters (those who are pushing the stuff they know are red herrings) would be claiming thousands of false addresses were used by the guy!

And, of course, the SSA has even said: One should not make too much of the "geographical code." It is not meant to be any kind of useable geographical information.

You're right about the area numbers changing for locations. Also, the group numbers don't go in numerical sequential order; for example, 02 follows 98. The SSA posts the High Group lists every month: http://www.socialsecurity.gov/employer/ssnvhighgroup.htm
But as I wrote above, in a few months, they are going to be freezing that list and randomizing: http://www.socialsecurity.gov/employer/randomization.html

There might very well be something fishy, but this just makes them look like bozos.

Congratulations! You eliminated one of the SSN's! At least you claim to have done so. You've made the same claim before but never provided any documentation, and never specified how many places you actually visited. And the list I have doesn't include any addresses in Parlin, NJ. Where did you get that address?

Hmm ... it looks like the guy you visited moved recently:

Did you visit this one?

Name – OBAMA, BARACK
Street Address – 713 HART SENATE
City, State, Zip – WASHINGTON DC 20510-0001
Probable Current Address – No
Telephone -
Telephone Accountholder -
Social Security – 282-80-xxxx
Age -
Date of Birth -
Deceased – No
Date Record Verified – Apr 08 – Nov 08

Or how about visiting the guy who lives at this address? Oh, nobody lives there, it's an office building. Appears to be some attorney's office:

Name – OBAMA, BARACK H
Gender – Male
Street Address – 180 N LA SALLE ST APT 2200N
City, State, Zip – CHICAGO IL 60601-2501
Probable Current Address – No
Telephone -
Telephone Accountholder -
Social Security – 042-68-xxxx
Age -
Date of Birth -
Deceased – No
Date Record Verified – Feb 07 – Jun 07

This next one is interesting. Pennsylvania Ave in Washington:

Name – OBAMA, BARACK
Street Address – 111 PENNSYLVANIA AVE
City, State, Zip – WASHINGTON UT 84780
Probable Current Address – No
Telephone -
Telephone Accountholder -
Social Security – 799-89-xxxx
Age -
Date of Birth -
Deceased – No
Date Record Verified – Jul 07 – Feb 08

Oops! Washington, Utah! There actually is a town of Washington in Utah, but there isn't an Pennsylvania Ave there.

This one is a lot like the previous one, also verified during the presidential campaign:

Name – OBAMA, BARACK
Street Address – 123 WHITE HOUSE
City, State, Zip – IRVINE CA 92618
Probable Current Address – No
Telephone -
Telephone Accountholder -
Social Security -
Age -
Date of Birth -
Deceased – No
Date Record Verified – Feb 08 – Jun 08

Hmm, no SSN on that one, eh? Well how about this one then:

Name – OBAMA, BRACK
Street Address – WHITE HOUSE
City, State, Zip – BALTIMORE MD 21454
Probable Current Address – No
Telephone -
Telephone Accountholder -
Social Security – 410-67-xxxx
Age -
Date of Birth -
Deceased – No
Date Record Verified – Nov 08 – Dec 08

That one was also verified during the presidential campaign.

And other entries also have a dead fish smell to them. Can I be absolutely certain these all belong to the same guy who currently calls the White House home? No, but I would definitely put these in the category of "things that make you go hmmmm."
