I shouldn't have been so rude about it. I'm sorry to the O.P.
I just get so sick of having to explain the same thing over and over again (to people who repeat their same refuted claptrap, regardless of what's explained to them).
I get it. I really do. You don't like Obama. I don't like him either. But this nonsense about Social Security Numbers and natural born citizenship is NOT the way to get him out of the White House. It serves to distract people on the right who should be unified. You'd have a better chance of winning the election if you'd all stand together.
And this is not the way to do it. It makes the right look like a bunch of freaking conspiracy theory stark raving idiots!
I mean, try to look objectively at the birther movement. Just for a second.
First, they claimed he was born in Kenya...
And they demanded to see a birth certificate, but then they claimed it had no raised seal, no certificate number and no signatures. Then factcheck.org proved that it did. Then they claimed that they needed to see a long form, claiming that the short form doesn't prove anything...which is a lie. It bears the same weight in a court of law as the long form, according to Federal Rules of Evidence.
They claimed that Obama's grandmother says that he was born in Kenya and that she was born in the room. Too bad they cut out the other half of the interview, in which she said, through a translator, repeatedly, that he was born in Hawaii.
Then along came this "two citizen parent" nonsense. Oh, you have to have two citizen parents to be considered natural born. Oh, no, you do not...that has never been the rule in the United States. It is unusual, I grant you, but in the U.S., birth alone establishes you as a natural born citizen and the citizenship of the parents doesn't matter and never did. And anyway, we've ALWAYS known that Obama's dad was Kenyan. In Obama's book Dreams From My Father, which was released long before he began campaigning, he mentioned his father being deported upon the expiration of his visa. We've ALWAYS known that Obama's father was never a citizen of the U.S....unless you think our citizens need visas to be here.
Don't you see that it just makes you look totally nuts? As one argument against Obama's eligibility gets shot down, you guys just make up some new B.S. Where did you get this ridiculous idea that the first three numbers of your social security number will always show which state where you were born in? Yes, it does most cases, but where did you get the idea that EVERY persons social security number shows where they were born or where they lived when they applied for their social security number, and that this rule is 100% without variance.
You didn't get this idea from the social security administration, I can promise you that. Because they have denied this.

It's just one stupid idea that someone just pulled out of their ass after another with you guys. And there's never any proof of any of this. Just make it up, and birthers will believe it.
"Oh, yeah...the short form is no good. You can't get a passport with it. You can't even register your son for little league with it."
Oh, yes, you can. It's self-authenticating and prima facie proof, same as the long form. They are equal in a court of law. But you know, Joe Farah of WND said it...so it must be true. Joe never lies.
So, the birthers, stupid and gullible as the day is long...just accept this. Not one of them asks the logical question..."Gee, if the short form isn't good for any of that stuff, why does the Hawaii DoH make them? What are they for?" Or how about asking, "Is it true you can't get a passport with a short form?" Are birthers so completely helpless to find out ANYTHING at all???
Nope. Joe Farah says and the birthers say, "Yep! That's RIGHT! That is 100% fact! So Obama needs to be removed and everything he's ever done needs to be undone and Obama needs to be killed and he needs to be buried face down so he can see where he's going." And none of you, not one of you, ever questions any of this. Not even for a second.
Or how about birthers asking themselves the really hard question..."Why do I hate Obama so very, very much? Why do I accept EVERYTHING I hear that says he's ineligible and why do I never check a single claim against his eligibility? Is it just because I'm very stupid, gullible and lazy?"
It wouldn't, of course, have anything to do with his race. Of course not.. There's not a single racist bone in a single birther's body. It has nothing whatsoever to do with the fact that the president is 1/2 black, living in the White House with his nasty BLACK wife and his nasty 3/4 BLACK children and his nasty BLACK mother-in-law.
Oh, no...it's just because so many questions about Obama's eligibility come up...that's all.
Yeah, right.
