President Obama he has paid nearly $1.7 million to his top eligibility lawyer since the election.

Of the 1.7 million dollars that Obama has used to cover up and defend his numerous lies and fraudulent acts, the question must be asked:

How much of this 1.7 million dollars is taxpayer cash?

All of it. There is no way this money is coming out of the pocket of the feckless one.

I believe that 1.7 million is from Democrat money somehow. The taxpayer contribution would be what the DOJ lawyers are spending on top of that since he got elected.

The legal aide Judge Carter hired (Oct 1, ‘09 to Oct 31, ‘10) came from Bauer’s law firm where he is a partner.
Another deal to thwart justice on eligibility. Was it a choice that he dared not refuse?

One has to wonder. I’m more interested in the open WH position Bauer is/was headed for. How does this play into this story? Broken promise in some way?

No I have not, But McAfee (I think it was that one, might have been another Anti Virus) just recently had a problem with a recent update. In the last few days.

From waht I can tell, this is not taxpayer money, at least not directly. The organization paying the legal fees, Organizing for America, collects “donations” and uses some of them to pay the legal fees. I assume Lord Obama’s blesses big contributors with political appointments, government contracts, and all manner of political favors. I’m also guessing that a lot of union dues are making their way to Organizing for America.

What embarrassing or disqualifying details are being hidden on Obama’s long-form birth certificate? That is $1,700,000 question.

I still say, if he has nothing to hide, why is he spending so much to hide it?
