Stephanie Mencimer, I’ll give

Stephanie Mencimer, I’ll give you a C+ for that article. There are a host of minor errors, but more important, you obviously didn’t check with the single most important website that debunks the Birthers, Politijab .

If you had, you would have learned of the Birther Case Scorecard, and learned that Obama only hired personal attorneys in 3 of the 64 Birther lawsuits.

Even if the federal government lawyers were spending a lot of time on these cases (which you accurately reported, they aren’t), that would result in no additional expense to the government. Both Roger West and Rebecca Ausprung receive the same salary no matter what cases they work on. Only if President Obama hires personal attorneys does the expense climb, and he hasn’t had to hire personal attorneys to work on these cases since he took office.

You missed one other important point, too.

Birthers have 3 main theories as to why he’s ineligible, of which you mention only one — that he may have been born in Kenya. Why didn’t you mention the theory that he lost his citizenship when he was “adopted” in Indonesia? Why didn’t you mention the theory that both your parents must be U.S. citizens for you to be a “natural born citizen”?

All the other MSM outlets that reported this story — Washington Post, UPI, New York Magazine, Washington Independent, etc. — contacted us at Politijab to get more accurate and complete information before writing their stories. Before you write about the Birthers again, give us a chance to educate you more fully.

And they STILL overlook the admitted fact that
he’s the son of a Kenyan/UK citizen.

In other words, we (the government) hire them to do nothing but sit around doing nothing twiddling their thumbs waiting for a case to come along so they're actually being useful in these cases. That's the only scenario where these 60+ cases aren't taking time, effort and expense away from attorneys' other duties and in turn causing us to hire more attorneys to step in to handle the extra workload.

After his “I’d rather be a good one term president rather than a mediocre two term...” I think he knows he can’t prove he is an NBC to satisfy the states enacting new laws of verification of qualifications. It is also why he will continue for more economy killing measures to saddle us with. Progressives suck!

*******

Obama paid lawyers in 3 of 64 lawsuits?

Just wondering: How much did it cost Obama and/or the Democratic Party to pay lawyers in those 3 cases mentioned above?

I bet it cost more than the $10 it would have cost Obama to get a copy of his Hawaii long form birth certificate---the one with the doctor signature and the hospital name---and show it to the American people.
