Isn't Bogus Info On Selective Service Forms a Crime?
 
I'm not going to get into the general "birther" thing, for a whole host of reasons.
But there is one piece of information that I do find curious - the apparent uncovering of President Obama's actual selective service (draft) registration.  I was required to file one of these when I reached 18, and I was born near the same time Obama was.  I didn't like it very much, but I told the truth, because right there on the form was a statement that if I didn't, I was committing a federal offense.
Well, have a look at this document - the last page of it in particular.
That Social Security number was issued from the Connecticut office, but Obama never lived there.  Nor, at the age it was applied for (obviously prior to his 18th birthday) would he have had Presidential (or other similar) aspirations, so there would have been no reason to play games.
Leaving aside the "birther" thing, what's going on here with Selective Service?  Problems with selective service registrations have derailed other candidates and office-holders in the past.  I'm sure everyone remembers all the howling about alleged special treatment that Bush received......
Well, if it's relevant for a Republican office-holder, why isn't it when the man in the office is a Democrat?
Incidentally, they're threatening to prosecute the guy who uncovered this... I thought "whistle-blowers" were generally thought of as good things?
