Where Angels Fear to Tread

I have been warned by a friend to not pursue Obama’s possible Social Security number purloining mentioned in my previous blog entry.  And there are too two other discordant Obama anomalies that have been deemed taboo by the popular narrative … Obama’s actual birthplace and his missing college records (applications, grade transcripts, etc.). Like a moth drawn to a flame, your blogster’s curiosity is peeked by these no-nos … and recent revelations make it even more difficult to follow the crowd in eschewing these mysteries. Maybe if it were just the birth certificate kafuffle, I would leave it alone. But the fact that Obama’s Chicago legal team has spent millions of dollars to block access to this info, arouses my radical-right tropisms. Here are the references to these recent Obama revelations … along with a few of my observations:

1) Social Security number – See: SS Number Challenge. This woman seems to know her stuff … and has carefully documented her misgivings about Obama’s possible Social Security number malfeasance.

2) Birthplace – See: American Thinker and LA Times Story. Yes, Sheriff Joe does have a bone to pick with the Obama administration … just like they with him. However, why did it take over three years for this “document” to be released? And if Obama’s long-form birth certificate is indeed a forgery, won’t it go down in the annals of history as a major sullying of the U.S. Constitution?

3) College records – See: The Blaze.  (If, in fact, these college records still exist.) Again, this fellow obviously has it in for Obama, but why haven’t we seen a slew of thoughtful rebuttals to his recent allegations?

I will leave it to you Obama’s supporters to “snopes” the disproofs to these suppositions. Personally, I have found Snopes, once a fair-minded fact checker, increasingly to seem to be an arm of the Democrat National Committee. And since Harry Reid has established the template that, to clear up his charges that Romney paid no taxes for ten years … Romney must comply with Reid's disclosure demand, can’t the opposition also claim that Obama can solve the above enigmas by letting in the cleansing sunlight of complete disclosure?

I fully expect brickbats to follow … but then I’m no angel.
