No, I don't find it amazing. It fits in perfectly with the rest of his bizarre behavior.
I'm guessing that it's not his money being spent, and that he is acting on the orders of the people who advise/control him.
This whole BC situation, whether true or false, is distracting a great many people who would otherwise be spending their time/money on other issues deemed more dangerous by the 0bama puppet masters.
When questioning motives, always take into consideration the quote, "Never let a good crisis go to waste."
Fortunately for the 0bama cabal, the media is a willing accomplice. Otherwise this would be almost impossible to perpetrate.
