Birthers Try To Get Obama Removed From the Ballot in Ohio (reason: Social Security #)



Since the Obama’s birth certificate is real, birthers are now claiming that his Social Security number is fake and are trying to get him thrown off the ballot in Ohio.

-snip-

Granny Birther is basing her case on the her claim that the first three digits of President Obama’s Social Security number were only issued to people born in Connecticut.

Oh no, cue the spooky music. Boy those birthers have got Obama this time.

Except that Granny Birther was wrong, very wrong. Media Matters did a bit crack research via Google I am guessing and quickly discovered this on the Social Security Administration website, “Prior to 1972, cards were issued in local Social Security offices around the country and the Area Number represented the State in which the card was issued. This did not necessarily have to be the State where the applicant lived, since a person could apply for their card in any Social Security office. Since 1972, when SSA began assigning SSNs and issuing cards centrally from Baltimore, the area number assigned has been based on the ZIP code in the mailing address provided on the application for the original Social Security card. The applicant’s mailing address does not have to be the same as their place of residence. Thus, the Area Number does not necessarily represent the State of residence of the applicant, either prior to 1972 or since.”

If Granny Birther would have done a Google search of her own, she would have seen that the whole theory that her legal petition is based on was debunked in 2011. It actually gets worse for our birther hero as she had been investigating Obama’s Social Security number since 2009, and in order to establish legal standing she has declared herself a write in candidate for president.

even have the SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER OF THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA????


Oh yeah, and Connecticut? Last I looked, it was a state at the time of his birth (just like Hawaii), so what does it matter anyway?

money and effort the birthers spend on their frivolous lawsuits is money and effort not spent on their candidate. We should be encouraging them!
