At the time that he was born, until the mid-80's when they started issuing SS#'s at birth, your # started with the identifier for the state you applied from, not necessarily where you were born. My sister was born in OH in 70, I was born in AL in 75, we both have SS#'s with FL identifiers.
Yup you are most correct, none of my kids got their SS# until they got part time jobs.
My son that was born in Hawaii has a SS# card that he received in NJ.
SS# numbers come from the place one first applies for one. Say a child born before 1979 in Michigan at the age of 16 comes to visit family in Fla. and wants a part time job, their SS# will show they applied in that state.
I have no idea who this Barry Soetoro is, but I do recognise the Toro in the name, Bull in Spanish. As we pronounce it.
