When I first heard about the allegations, I thought it was tin foil hat stuff, until I found out that Obama spent up to one million in lawyer fees fighting the release of his birth certificate. Now I am admittedly not a birther, but I have a question about this, and would love to see it substantiated. I have seen a lot of references to this figure (or $1.5 million), but the only links I have ever seen go to the totality of 0bama's legal defense, not specifically the birth certificate issue. Is there a good reference someone can link me to that clarifies this? No doubt any Presidential candidate has tons of legal bills, and I haven't seen anything that says that this much was specifically spent on this one issue. Of the roughly half-dozen cases that have arisen, I cannot see how $1 million could possibly be spent. #1, as a named dependent 0bama HAS to respond. #2, it seems that pretty much every case has been dismissed immediately after a motion by 0bama. How could $1 million possibly be spent on a handful of 5-10 page motions for dismissal that were likely carbon copies of each other? I'm as cynical as anyone about the legal profession, and have hired top-tier very expensive counsel myself, but I have a hard time believing this total can be real. I mean, his legal defense has pretty much won on the first filing every time...it's hard to imagine what is so expensive about that, or that it substantiates the claim he is using every resource possible. All he is doing is properly responding as a dependent and winning when he asks to dismiss the case. Can anybody help show me where the bills and/or intense effort is?

You could file an FOIA to see the billing records of Perkins & Coie, but you might want to use a bit of common sense also:

How much would it cost to send detectives and lawyers lterally all over the world to bury the documentation of BArry Soetoro's history, and you might want to include a 'slush fund' to bribe folks in Hawaii, Indonesia, and Kenya, because certain documents have come up missing from systems where his is the only file missing--like the entry registration for kindergarten which would have included a BC for entry. Personally, I think the more than $600,000 billed froma nd paid to Perkins & Coie in January 2009 is not half of what has been spent to hide the truth about this lying affirmative action bastard.
