Look, I think this is a side issue. It doesn’t really matter. In September or October, there were several threads about the Berg case and Obama’s team of 3 law firms. I remember one lawyer was of questionable repute. If you really want to know who it is, there is a list on the forum “certifigate” and birthcertificate” in the popular keywords list. Also you could click the link in the You Tube vid, go to their site and ask them their source for the $800,000 figure. I don’t think this is central to presidential qualifications.

I agree. It is a side issue. And I also note your original response to njusa. Point taken.

But it is a legitimate point of contention because it goes to the issue of credibility. I have no idea where the figure of $800,000 comes from (although, after researching the issue, I have an idea).

As you note, the “three law firms and millions of dollars” has been brought up as well.

One poster responded to my request for attribution and gave me the name of Joe Sandler of Sandler, Reiff and Young, a law firm that represents the DNC.

This is an important distinction. The DNC would certainly be expected to represent its interests in all these cases, and those interests certainly coincide with Obama’s interests. Please note the use of the word “represent” rather than “fight”...again, an important distinction.

I am certain the DNC has several law firms under retainer, and I’m sure the final figures would top out in the millions.

But again, if, and I say if, this is the case, it is an important distinction.

But at that, even if it is a side issue, it goes to the credibility of posters and FR. Dumb posts, racist posts, ignorant comments, manipulated or unvetted data, make all of us look bad.

I have made the following comment several times on this issue. The failure of some of the more respected FR posters to weigh in on the matter speaks volumes to me.
