The problem for Obama is that birthers keep coming up with more ammunition.  A retired Air Force Colonel, Gregory Hollister, impersonated Obama and managed to get a copy of Obama’s Selective Service record.  That record allegedly shows a Social Security Number, never issued, that starts with 042.  Social Security Numbers are assigned by state, so this number is from Connecticut.  Since Obama was living in Hawaii at the time, this is interesting:

Naturally, the response has been to try and prosecute this Col. Hollister for impersonating Obama.  That may be well and good, but there are a couple of obvious questions that should be asked of Obama.  For example:  What is your Social Security Number?  Did you ever use another Social Security Number; and, if so, why?

Earlier there had been speculation with regard to whether Obama even registered for the Selective Service, as required.  The following link provides some insight with regard to that story:

This article is actually supportive of Obama and provides the following quote from the Selective Service:

Barack Hussein Obama registered at a post office in Hawaii. The effective registration date was September 4, 1980.

His registration number is 61-1125539-1.

This fits the standard Obama pattern.  When Obama is challenged he NEVER releases the actual document, he just gets someone to write a letter or give a statement that Obama can use as a substitute. 

But, as with everything else, there is always more to the story.  This is not new.  The following blog from 2008 reveals that some people had serious questions about Obama’s Selective Service record from the start:

Why is it that everything, and I mean everything, about Obama’s personal records has this kind of nonsense?  This is true with regard to his birth certificate, his academic records, his law license application, his tax records, and even his legislative record.  Even his own autobiography is allegedly written by William Ayers.  The sad fact is that this misdirection has been remarkably effective.  Time and time again the main stream media has allowed Obama to get away with refusing to really answer questions.  He has never been forced to produce any real documents.  I guarantee you that if there was even a hint of a question regarding George Bush’s birth certificate, the main stream media would have gone nuts.  No other political candidate, in either party, would have gotten away with this.  John Kerry did a great job of hiding his military records, and he never released all his records, but he did have to release some documents.  Obama has never released anything.

This reminds me of the scene from “FARGO” where the corrupt auto sales manager is trying desperately to cover up the fact that he has an automobile missing.  He completes the forms, but deliberately uses sloppy handwriting to make the form impossible to read.  Then he mocks anyone who questions him as being unreasonable.

I have met several people who resisted providing documents that everyone else willingly provides.  In most cases, I learned that these people were hiding something, and it was very important for me to find out what.  So far, Obama, with the support of the main stream media, has managed to intimidate everyone who challenges his personal history.  He has spent millions of dollars in legal fees avoiding the release of his birth certificate.  Perhaps the most significant comment was from Donald Trump when he was on the view.  He said he was from New York and he had seen fraud first hand.  He said he had met people who could make a $100 bill look like a million. Then he said, “I believe Obama was born in Hawaii, but I want to see the birth certificate.”  At some point, sooner rather than later, Obama is going to either find a way to get Donald Trump to shut up, or he is going to finally be forced to produce documents.  So far, Trump shows no signs of backing down.  Collision warning!

Note:  It is becoming increasingly clear that the “birthers” are the ones with the facts.  There is a concerted effort by the main stream media to just shout them down, but so far they have not challenged the facts.  Lincoln once wrote:  “you can’t fool all of the people all of the time.”  A lot of people recognize nonsense when they see it.  In spite of all the efforts by the Obama administration, this story is growing and growing.  I predict we will see more Chris Matthews moments when he said:  “why not just release the birth certificate.”  The answer Chris is because he can’t.)
