Has Obama ever been issued a social security card from any other place other than the us?
No, this is another internet myth. There are various false stories that claim he has (pick one) the social security number of a dead man, the social security number of someone from Africa, or no social security number at all. None of these stories are true. Since he was born in America and is a citizen, he has always had an American social security number; but it is private -- as are the social security numbers of most people, in order to avoid identity theft. I enclose a link that debunks one of the many myths about his social security number.
Are Social Security retirement benefits the only Entitlement Program benefits where individuals and their employers directly contribute money for that sole purpose?
I think the answer is no. The reason I say I think that is because that's not quite exactly how Social Security really works, and if that statement is true of Social Security it's probably also true of, say, unemployment insurance and in some states state disability insurance.
Is it true that those who retire 20 years from now will not be eligible for social security payments to help supplement their retirement?

Have the red numbers on back of social security card ever worked?
No, the red numbers on the back of a Social Security card are not used for any official purposes or transactions. The only relevant information on a Social Security card is the Social Security number itself, which is used for identification and to track an individual's earnings for social security benefits. The red numbers are simply a reminder not to use the card as proof of identity.
