Revealed! Obama is a "clerical error," say Obama flak chuckers.

[Doogle]

and he sent me the single best explanation I have yet to see

..ask him to explain the 5 other Social Security cards

[roadcat]

More B.S.

If Obama simply got the SSN in Hawaii as the result of a clerical error, then why did Obama unlawfully file federal tax returns in Connecticut using that SSN? After all, if he’s never been in Connecticut, then why file his tax returns there? This whole thing stinks, the coverup stories stink, and Obama is the stinker.

Joel Gilbert suggests a more likely explanation. In doing his research in Hawaii, Gilbert heard from several sources that pre-statehood, every institution or branch of government in Hawaii was dominated by the Japanese syndicate known as the "Yakuza, the International Longshore and Warehouse Union (ILWU), and a complicit bureaucracy. "After statehood in 1959 the Federal Government came in, and the syndicate went underground, but maintained the same control, and does so to this day," says Gilbert.

"Hawaii was and is a corrupt state," Gilbert continues. He was told by retired Honolulu police detectives that in the state bureaucracy, "anything could be purchased, including Social Security numbers." These were real numbers, likely available because the original card holder was dead. The sellers trafficked in SSNs that did not originate in Hawaii. That way, if the person using the phony SSN were ever caught, the crime would be traced back to the issuing state, not the Hawaii office.

Gilbert's theory is that the SSN problem is related to the question of Obama's birth certificate, which is required to get a SSN. Lacking a valid birth certificate, Obama was forced to buy an SSN so he could get his first job at the Baskin Robbins in 1977. In this theory, Obama was sold an SSN that was Connecticut-based so it couldn't be traced back to the Hawaii office.

Great premise for a movie. And it could explain what Pops was doing in all those sleazy bars. But it seems a long way to go to account for things that we really aren't sure are true to begin with.

if it was a typo... then it’d still be on record associated with 0bama

yet his ssno cannot be verified via e-verify

in other words, the ‘typo’ explanation is bs

stolen is definitely the case... especially since we do not re-issue ssnos... especially within a year of the original person’s death

The Principle of Occam’s Razor:

The most useful statement of the principle for scientists is:

“When you have two competing theories that make exactly the same predictions, the simpler one is the better.”

Or: “Keep things simple”

In the case of the many anomalies in Obama’s claimed history, without proof of the many convoluted and tortured explanations, the simplest explanation is that he is a fraud and a shyster.

[ClearCase_guy]

The people from the past who are used to document Obama's life are all ... composites.
The data from the past which works against Obama's claims are all ... clerical errors.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

First quote from article:

"Said Carole Gilbert, presumably with a straight face, "In fact, Barack Obama's dad attended college in Connecticut and in 1977, Obama was college aged; is it beyond reason to consider that he might have checked out his father's alma mater?" Last time I checked, Harvard was in Massachusetts. The closest town to Harvard in Connecticut is about 90 minutes away, and there is no record at all that Obama Sr. lived there, let alone that Obama visited his imaginary alma mater and just happened to apply for a Social Security card while visiting. "

She appears to have confused Yale with Harvard. Yale is in New Haven, Connecticut.

Second quote from article:

"Obama, they contend, lived in the Hawaii zip code of 96814, while the zip code for Danbury, CT is 06814. "

• Danbury is about an hour drive, much of it on winding country roads travelling from New Haven (Yale).
• The five digit zip code system was instituted in 1963.
