>>Snopes is not and never has been the repository of truth. Notice they conveniently leave out that the preceding numbers issued before Obama’s as well as the ones following it were all from Connecticut.<<

I’ve found snopes to be very useful when someone sends one of those “urban legend” sort of emails. Snopes usually has a very good discussion on what part is true and what part is false, often including some decent info on how the false parts got going in the first place.

And snopes explained the Connecticut part. You would expect all of the Connecticut applications to start with 042. Their explanation covered how Obama could have ended up with one due to a simple misreading of his application, or an easy-to-make type. It might not have happened, but it’s a decent explanation of how it could have happened.

We’ve got way better ways to go after Obama than this tin-foil-hat stuff that WND and Newsmax are alway so prone to pushing.

And snopes explained the Connecticut part.

Really? they did?

Snopes: Barack Obama's parents separated when he was two years old, his father moving to Connecticut to continue his education before returning to Kenya. When the younger Obama was six years old, his mother married again, this time to Lolo Soetoro, an Indonesian oil manager.

When was his father living in Connecticut? and how hold was little Barry, in March of 1965 when Stanley Ann married Lolo?

That's just unrealistic. A mistake in a three digit prefix?

The mailing address of the applicant [in the 1970’s and before] had to be in the geographical area covered by the prefix.

The application has the mailing address of Obama the applicant, in Hawaii, and you are saying the application teleported to the US East Coast 6000 Miles away, and the SSN office then misread his address as being a valid Connecticut address and gave him the 042 prefix??

But of course, Obama is *special* he has a two-digit date stamp, incorrectly positioned, on his claimed Selective service card when everyone else has a four-digit date stamp.

Then Obama has a PDF “birth certificate” with a key verifying feature, the Registrar's stamp, *perfectly* isolated in a separate PDF layer such that the thing can be clicked on and moved around on the open document in the Adobe Illustrator software application? [Adobe is the company that created the PDF format]

That makes no sense. Its actually clear that Obama has a citizenship problem that had to be fixed. Not a NBC issue, but a full bore, heavy caliber *basic US Citizenship issue.*
