There are too many facts here for this to be an innocent mistake or such. I would bet that the SSN was issued to Barak O after his time of being a CIA Spy in the middle east. The number is "shielded" in the SSN records and cannot be accessed in a normal way. It may also be a "pointer" to a real number and is used to hide his real ssn from everyone but the IRS or Social Security.
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1372469i think he was just a foreign student who wanted to stay in the country. got the law job, but got fired (told to resign), lost his job but forgot to get his green card in time.
made up a number and name -- met Michelle somewhere in there -- married her eventually so he could become an American citizen -- but by this time had moved so far up in politics that he ---- could not
politically afford to get caught for having lived here as an illegal alien for so long --- so he never applied to be an American citizen and just continued on doing what he had been doing and tried to confuse the paper trail
and in the process did some dirty deals to get a nice house and tax breaks and get into office
OR
there is a very, deep hole and much more sinister aspect to this whole story.
regardless, this info about him could be used to blackmail him into what ever someone wants him to politically do
which i why a president must be above reproach
then they are not blackmail-able and can't be manipulated so much
