OK. I have some concerns. One, the social security # not being from a state that Obama ever lived in.

How do you, or anyone else, know whether or not Obama ever lived in Connecticut? It would help if he would explain how he got that particular SSN, but otherwise, who could possibly attest to the fact that he never lived or visited there for any length of time as a teenager? There's always the summers, and vacations, or staying with relatives or family of a schoolmate... The SSA didn't care where your permanent address was; they issued numbers based on the return address given on the application.

As far as needing a SSN for a dependent child on tax forms, that requirement didn't go into effect until the early '80's.

FWIW, Obama held a low-level job for about a year at Business International in NYC, a private company,  in '83-'84. There is a public record of fellow employees who commented that he exaggerated his job level and accomplishments there in his so-called "memoir."

There's nothing but Obama's say-so that he ever worked at Baskin-Robbins in HI. No concrete evidence to support that has been produced: no fellow employees or bosses who remember him; no work records, etc. That "job" is entirely based on his statement that he worked there, and until and unless that statement is corroborated, it's worthless.

I'm not defending Obama, though I'll surely be accused of that. Rather, I'm pointing out that this is yet another non-story promoted by WND, the home of sensationalist conspiracy theories for fun and profit.

Hm?...I'm thinking?

Would I remember a person that I worked with who had lived in Indonesia, was half-white, had big ears, was being raised by grandparents, and attended one of the most exclusive private schools in the state?

Would something ring a bell in my memory if this person then went on to be **PRESIDENT** of the United States of America?

Where are the people who worked with Obama at this Baskin and Robins job? Honestly,...Obama’s social attachments are utterly unbelievable.
