$2 million? Pretty close - from a 2009 WND article:

President Obama has paid nearly $1.7 million to his top eligibility lawyer since the election.

Obama for America, Obama’s 2008 political campaign, merged with the Democratic National Committee in January and is now known as Organizing for America. The grass-roots army that some refer to as “Obama 2.0” is still collecting financial contributions.

Federal Election Commission records for “Obama for America” show that the lobby organization has paid international law firm Perkins Coie exactly $1,666,397.01 since the 2008 election.

The most recent sum, $314,018.06, was listed in Obama for America’s October Quarterly report filed with the FEC.

Maybe Obama’s setting precedence to clear the way for George Soros to run in 2016. Obama’s failure to show the appropriate documents to prove his eligibility sets a precedence for all future Presidents. If Obama does not have to document his eligiblity.

Personally I don’t think Obama’s hiding anything. I think he and others hate our Constitution so much that he feels ignoring it is a way to discredit it.

"President Obama has paid nearly $1.7 million to his top eligibility lawyer since the election."

It was for eligibility fights, not other left-over campaign issues? What's your source that the money is for eligibility? Bear in mind that every Presidential campaign nowadays ends up with lots of nuisance cases with real or imagined FEC violations.
