As the link below shows, replace the leading nine of his Honolulu zip code with a zero, and you'll get Connecticut zip code:
http://www.obamaconspiracy.org/2011/03/deconstructing-jack-cashill/ Because of the typo, the system had him as living in CT, so it assigned him a SSN that starts with 042.
Once the number is assigned, it can't be changed, even after the zip code error was corrected, so that's his number to this day.
This would not be the first or last time some government bureaucrat mistyped a number.
As to the timing, 1977 makes perfect sense. He stated publicly that he got his first job at age 16, which means that's probably when he applied for his first social security card. And how old was he in 1977? You guessed it, 16.

1. And what happens to your theory if there was NOT a typo error as you theorize above? Would that then make Obama a big time fraud and liar?
2. I'm confused about your explanation of the timeline of how a bureaucrat's unknowingly made a typing mistake and assigned the Social Security number to Obama.
3. Could you please explain your theory in more detail about the possible typo error, that is, could you please show us the trail of Obama's application from the time he dropped his application in the mail in Hawaii until Obama received his 042 Social Security card in Hawaii.
4. Computer did it? I'm sorry, but to me, basing your entire Obama theory on a clumsy Social Security typist has a lot of problems, when, for one thing, it is possible that the whole procedure was done by a computer, and a human hand never processed Obama's Social Security application? You have heard of computers, haven't you.
How about this simple solution: News reporters and private citizens simply ask Obama during the 2012 campaign to explain why his Social Security number seems to have been issued to a person living in Connecticut when Obama was living in Hawaii?
I bet Obama's response would be very interesting.
Just wondering: Why are reporters and tv talk show hosts so scared to ask Obama questions about such topics as his Social Security number, his Hawaii long form birth certificate, his Selective Service registration, and how he was able to obtain his first United States passport. Sad. So sad.
5. In another message here, you wrote that the IRS made a typo error in the zip code on a letter it sent you.
6. My reaction to your statement was this: You got the mail at the correct address even though the zip code was in error, didn't you? You make it sound as if the post office only delivers mail by the zip code number.
7. Is it possible that the post office double checked your mailing address because the zip code was in error, and it had the good sense to deliver your mail based on the mailing address instead of sending the letter to a place based solely on the zip code on the letter?
No. There are many innocent reasons why he might have been assigned an 042 SSN. The typo theory is just the most plausible.
2. I'm confused about your explanation of the timeline of how a bureaucrat's unknowingly made a typing mistake and assigned the Social Security number to Obama.
Okay. It's not very complicated. Obama fills out a hand-written application for a SS card at his local office, which in turn forwards it to the central office in Baltimore for processing. Some bureaucrat enters his zip code (along with all the other information) into a computer in order to generate a card. In so doing, said bureaucrat mistypes the lead digit of the zip code as a zero instead of a nine, which makes the computer think the zip code is in Connecticut. That, in turn, causes it to generate a social security number that begins with 042.
3. Could you please explain your theory in more detail about the possible typo error, that is, could you please show us the trail of Obama's application from the time he dropped his application in the mail in Hawaii until Obama received his 042 Social Security card in Hawaii.
That obviously can't be done, as the paper trail doesn't exist any more. I can't prove to any degree of certainty this theory is correct. My only contention is that it is the simplest theory that fits all the facts, making it the most plausible.
4. Computer did it? I'm sorry, but to me, basing your entire Obama theory on a clumsy Social Security typist has a lot of problems, when, for one thing, it is possible that the whole procedure was done by a computer, and a human hand never processed Obama's Social Security application?
No, it is not possible. Back in 1977, one could not submit an application via computer. The internet hadn't been invented yet. Instead, people generally filled out a paper application by hand. When the application reached the central office, some clerk had to type the information into a computer, as they did not have the advanced scanners of today.
You have heard of computers, haven't you. How about this simple solution: News reporters and private citizens simply ask Obama during the 2012 campaign to explain why his Social Security number seems to have been issued to a person living in Connecticut when Obama was living in Hawaii?
First of all, the first three numbers do not correspond to the state of residence of the applicant. They correspond to the state indicated by the zip code in the mailing address given in the application.
Second of all, Obama would most likely be truthful if he responded that he did not know why his SSN starts with a 042. Most people have no idea what the digits on their social security number mean. I had no idea that the first three digits correspond to the mailing address on the initial application until birthers started questioning Obama's SSN.
I bet Obama's response would be very interesting.
No, it would be very boring and predictable.
Just wondering: Why are reporters and tv talk show hosts so scared to ask Obama questions about such topics as his Social Security number,
Because no one other than a small fringe cares about such a silly questions.
his Hawaii long form birth certificate,
Because the long form is not necessary to establish his eligibility, which has already been established beyond reasonable doubt by other means.
his Selective Service registration,
Because there's nothing wrong with his registration. If you type his social security number into the SSR database, it verifies that his registration is in order.
and how he was able to obtain his first United States passport.
Because there is no reason to believe he obtained it in a manner different from anyone else.
In another message here, you wrote that the IRS made a typo error in the zip code on a letter it sent you.
That wasn't me.
6. My reaction to your statement was this: You got the mail at the correct address even though the zip code was in error, didn't you? You make it sound as if the post office only delivers mail by the zip code number.
This did not happen to me, but I suspect the post office was tipped of by the fact that the zip code on the letter did not match the city and state, in which case the post office probably inferred the zip code was in error. It's a good bet the same thing happened to Obama when the SSA sent him his card.
7. Is it possible that the post office double checked your mailing address because the zip code was in error, and it had the good sense to deliver your mail based on the mailing address instead of sending the letter to a place based solely on the zip code on the letter?
Again, this did not happen to me, but I would say yes, it is a good bet that the post office did that.
