Why was President Obama's Social security number just shown on national TV
via Orly Taitz on Lawrence O'Donnell's show? Unbelievable!

4. I had to rewind just to make sure my eyes weren't playing tricks on me
Every damn number visible. It's not O'Donnell's fault, but seriously, why would MSNBC close up on a court document?

5. Breaking: he doesn't remember his old phone number from when he was a kid
the American people deserve a real president who remembers his phone number, dammit.

8. It's probably not a very good SS number to steal is it?

10. It'd be funny to watch someone try.
I remember Nixon's ssn being quite public recently as well.

15. lol maybe not. If it was the correct number,
we'll probably just see more repubs going to jail for unauthorized checks or digging.

12. Because this lunatic has gone after Obama since he was elected and when she asked for that close up,
(which no camera man should have done at her demand without knowing what the document was), that was her goal, to put out more usable/private information to try and harm the President. She is a lunatic and I'm glad O'Donnell cut her off, but it was too late. That camera man might lose his/her job, but then again, Lawrence might too.....but I don't think he gives a shit at this point. I wish he would be like this everyday until he gets the pink slip. He's a wealthy guy, he'll be ok and Current TV might end up having him, Ed, Rachel and all those who speak truth to power signed up before we know it. Good for him, bad on the camera man and shit on the face of dirt bag Orly Taintz.

16. Exactly, but I've been in situations where the camera operator does just what this one did and gets
his or her ass chewed out by the director. In this case, no one on the show knew what the document was, Lawrence was yelling at the nut to tell him what it was, and it was too late, she yelled for a close up, and the camera man obliged very quickly and that suggests to me, that with all the yelling and chaos going on, the camera person just reacted without the director calling that shot. Just my educated guess, since I work in the business and I've seen it happen and directors go through the roof.

13. She's no longer a loony tune, but now a security risk...
IF she had the actual Selective service doc,
and was responsible for broadcasting it,
she needs to be taking in for questioning...
Who is behind her aggressive posturing?

And I'm sure there's a room in a psychiatric medical facility..

Can she be deported for such allegations?
