A measly $520 in fees? Whaaaaat? I thought Obama was spending millions!

Wait, wait, I know. The judge only awarded Obama that tiny sum in order to hide the true amount he's spending on birther lawsuits. He must be in on the conspiracy!/sarcasm

Some of the “Obama’s not eligible” web sites took a figure that was the entire amount of legal expenses for the Obama campaign and inflated it into the costs of “hiding his birth certificate.”

Anyone with even the slightest knowledge of court costs knows that when no cases actually go to trial, the costs of simply filing a legal brief are next to nothing. Obama only presented a defense in about five “birther” suits and that simply meant filing of defense briefs.

A majority of the “Obama’s not eligible” lawsuits don’t even name Obama as a defendant.
For example: Donofrio v Wells, Ankeny v Mitch Daniels, Lighfoot v Bowen, Brockhousen v Andrade, Beverly v FEC, or Wrotnowski v. Bysiewicz.
If you’re not named as a defendant, you have no legal costs.
