Not sure where you read that typo, but I recall having seen it also. What is alleged is that the SSN that "Obama" is currently using was originally issued to a person (now deceased) born in 1890, and not to "Obama".

Thanks, FJ. Obviously, I got the facts wrong. The person was not issued the SSN in 1890, but that is when that person was born. I appreciate you sorting me out.
