President Obama he has paid nearly $1.7 million to his top eligibility lawyer since the election.
Obama for America, Obama's 2008 political campaign, merged with the Democratic National Committee in January and is now known as Organizing for America. The grassroots army that some refer to as "Obama 2.0" is still collecting financial contributions.
Federal Election Commission records for "Obama for America" show that the lobby organization has paid international law firm Perkins Coie exactly $1,666,397.01 since the 2008 election.
The most recent sum, $314,018.06, was listed in Obama for America's October Quarterly report filed with the FEC.

Ping!
$1.7 million is a pretty big number. But I really don’t see a way that it can be determined that this money is going strictly for Obama’s defense of the BC court challenges. Some of it is for sure. All of it - I doubt. Most of it - who knows? Anyone that knows the answer should post the rationale. It would nice to know that he has really spent that kind of money to hide his birth information.
to think all he has to do is show the B/C/ and it would cost just a few dollars and yet he fights this
why??????
see that journo’s, the word why, something you should be asking and looking into to.
O and BTW his family say they saw him born over there too, maybe you could fly over there and do some investigative reporting(what you get paid for).
ALL WE ASK IS WHY DOES HE NOT SHOW IT AND WHY KEEP FIGHTING IT
Occam’s razor.
The big point is that obama has so far spent $1,700,000 with law firms to keep all his past history hidden. The birth certificate is just one facet of his past, but they are just as determined to hide all his history. Even he knows that there is very detrimental information out there. And the birthers are tagged as kooks?
“why??????”
Because Hussein is phony as a 3-dollar-bill and he’s been running a scam on the “system” since college.
No worries, sooner or later before the 11/2012 election,
this clown is gonna have to cough up a BC and then the Shiite is gonna hit the proverbial fan. And when it is revealed to the entire world what a fraud this clown is;
it may just be the “death knell” for the Democrats as a national political party in America. They won’t be able to get a dog-catcher elected to a national office!
Wonder how much he got from the Obama Enablers....the ones who claim to be “conservative” yet smite those who want to find out whether he can legally be President or not.
I wonder if those Enabling Obama (Coulter, Beck, Medved, O’Reilly, Hewitt) are still smiting the Birthers after seeing Obama has now spent near 2 million to defend himself?
Ping!!!
No pest yet!!!
If you’re talking to anyone that tags the birthers as kooks,
just ask - why has he spent 1.7 million to cover it up? The principle? Practice your derisive smirk.
I wonder how much the DOJ lawyers are paid that doesn’t even show up on this report?
I've informed those so-called “conservative” various and sundry talking-heads and authors that I won't be purchasing any more of their books...
for the record, I “wrote off” Hewitt six years ago when he “stabbed” Tom McClintock in the back by switching his support from McClintock to RINOld in the 2003 CA recall election. As far as O’Reilly goes...he's just another Viet Nam war draft-dodger and Obama-ass-kisser. Orly Taitz has more guts than all of ‘em combined!!!
Did his campaign really merge with the DNC? Is that common practice?
I just wanna know WHY DOJ lawyers are even involved?
Why should I PAY for Hussein’s defense?
Takes a lot of money to keep that closet door closed.
Doesn’t matter if $1 or $1 billion have been spent in “defense” against eligibility questions, the figure should be ZERO. If 0bama is eligible, under the US Constitution and the laws at the time, then it should be a matter that requires no legal representation at all to clarify. Simply release the original birth certificate (his opponent did, as have other candidates over the years). This isn’t about privacy, it is about hiding something. Apparently is it “something” explosive, as who would spend any significant money to hide that his mother had an STD when he was born?
Of course, this doesn’t include pro bono work that has been done on his behalf, or the fact that government lawyers are now defending his cover-up of his documentation with taxpayer, ie YOUR, money.
That is definitly the point. I figure that this is either arrognace like “you little people aren’t worthy to know who I am”, or this information would really screw up ozero’s carreer path. This whole campaign and his admin has and is a fraud.
That is a question we all would like to know.
Another Day.
Another Ping.
IIRC there were a couple of states with legislation pending that would require a birth certificate to get on the ballot for POTUS in the future. Anybody heard anything on the status of these bills?
ObamaCare/MengeleCare/DeathCare
This could be anyone. Not to worry Pelosi, Reid, and Zero will feel your pain and so will the US Congress.

Perkins Cootie also thoughtfully provided Judge Carter with a new assistant...
LOL! Where is that from? Do you happen to know?
nope
Somebody set us up the 0bomba...
EVERYONE should be investigating as to why the taxpayer funded DOJ is now his personal law firm. Then again, there should have been investigations into his eligibility prior to the election.
These cases have to do with his eligibility to BE in the Executive position, not defending anything he has done since moving in and most were filed prior to the inauguration and as such the DOJ has no business being involved.
The reason the DOJ fees do not show up on this report is because it is a report for the ... Federal Election Commission records for "Obama for America"
“And the birthers are tagged as kooks?”
It’s the way they control us. If there are any situations that don’t pass the smell test, attack the questioner as a kook.
Last week the NON-History Channel ran a show every night on the biggest mystery in history and did not once show the information in the video I have on YOUTUBE. I’ve tried to make it simple enough for a Jr High School student to understand but many still don’t believe the obvious. The brain washing has been much more effective than you’ll ever believe.

Somewhere in Kenya or Indonesia, a Village is Missing it's IDIOT!!!
This begs the question: How smart is it for this poster writer to have used the contraction of 'it is' instead of the possessive 'its'? If you're going to call somebody an idiot, it's a good idea not to reveal your own idiocy while doing it...
Hmmm, 1.7 million dollars in legal fees vs. 10 dollars to present the long-form. No hospital in Hawaii claims Obama. These are damning facts.
All that time? It took one minute to note the error and write the post. Such things always amuse me because they happen so often: somebody wants to score a hit on somebody else and they end up whacking themselves. Not that I necessarily disagree with the poster’s attempted point...(heh)...
For the record, the Kenyans name for obama is....”IT IS IDIOT” hence the village is missing “IT”S IDIOT”
now there.
Plus what amount of money is needed to keep the media on the dole. Not direct payments but everything has a price for a dim.
Except the enemedia.
I keep wondering, if McLAME refused to release his Birth Certificate and participate in the demoncrat’s dog and pony show on his eligibilty, do you think the left would have dropped the subject?
I’m not a “birther” yet I continue to be mystified at why Obama keeps shelling out big cash to sent top-rank lawyers to quash the challengers on these issues.
The presstrumpets Palin’s (rather small) lawyer fees, and is quick to suggest in their reality there is a taint of scandal, but says nothing about the lawyers of President Barack Oba-ME.
because Hussein is phony as a 3-dollar-bill...
that's “why”...ya don't have to be Dick Tracy to figure that out. LOL
They have tried this intimidation before and it did not work.
Well, something the Hussein goons is doing is “working”...
isn’t it interesting that Coulter, Hannity, Levin, Limbaugh et al have ALL refused to support the troops in their lawsuits...”we’re all just Racist birthers”...
of course, that accusation doesn’t fly with those of us who aren’t “white”.
Semper Fi,
