Just answer one question: Why has he spent nearly a million dollars on lawyers to conceal these records?

Perhaps because it’s NOT his money and he can make his enemies look like fools for wasting so much time, effort, spit, and their own money on something that is demonstrably provable at a time and place of OBAMA’S choosing.

The birthers are being played by the master manipulator.

“Why has he spent nearly a million dollars on lawyers to conceal these records?”

This is a nonstarter. I’m sure it wasn’t his money. A million out of his giant campaign warchest is a drop in the water. Also, these guys retain lawyers for whatever. The BC issue is just what happened to come up.

Finally, the money was spent because he just doesn’t want to bother with the long form, and apparently he doesn’t have to. We don’t know why he didn’t just release the damn thing from the beginning. But given there’s absolutely no hard evidence that he was born in Kenya, it’s premature to assume it’s because he wasn’t born American. Maybe he just doesn’t like to unseal records.

Answer: False premise. He has not spent a million dollars on that, thats another one of those birther false premises, like most of them are.
Where did you get that number? His total legal team costs were $1.2 million, and since he raised $600 million, that’s a mere .2% of his campaign cost.
In fact, I checked on lawsuits filed this year and US attorney’s are handling defense. Taxpayers, not Obama picking up the tab to fight nuisance lawsuits.

Last, he is not fighting to ‘conceal records’.
The idea that he would save money by handing over some documents is fallacious since the lawsuits claim he is not eligible *EVEN IF HE WAS BORN IN HAWAII* ... The Berg lawsuit demanded Obama sit down for 6 hours of interrogation and hand over oodles of extraneous information *not* related to Berg’s main claims.

So its completely false to claim that this is all a simple matter of producing a birth certificate to end lawsuits. It isnt.

Maybe because his ‘father’ was not his biological father?

Do you have a source for that claim?

I am in total agreement with you; however, could you provide me any links as to where you got this information?

I was having a discussion with someone about this and I brought up the “million dollars trying to hide it” and they asked where I got that information. Is there somewhere that documents this?

Thanks -
