Actually, that would be very interesting for another reason. I've taught ESL at several places, and before schools stopped using SS# for student ID#, they often used 999- or 000- prefixes on ID's of foreign students. I wonder if President Obama registered as a foreign student at any of those places.

The article mentioned several of the SS# started with 999-.

Seriously? That is very interesting and something I have not heard before!
