Yeah! Great! The taxpayer paid for Obama’s defense. Isn't that cute?
Obama had two choices:
1) Nod his head to his secretary and within the week satisfy all but the most fringy of kooks.
( A **real** American, natural born citizen would be **HONORED** to promptly prove with all of the best evidence that he was indeed eligible to be president and Commander in Chief of his troop. He would be especially proud to do this for the military.)
2) WASTE and MISUSE taxpayer resources and citizen-paid attorney talent at time when we had **serious** plots to bomb Americans and kill our soldiers on their bases and in their recruitment centers.
SHAME SHAME SHAME on Obama and those who would defend this despicable behavior.
Could you try to argue from points of logic rather than emotion?
First, there are numerous lawsuits filed against the U.S. government and/or POTUS on a regular basis. It is the duty of DOJ attorneys to provide a legal defense for the government and/or POTUS in lawsuits filed against either party. So Obama didn’t send out DOJ attorneys by choice and didn’t specifically direct tax dollars to be used to provide his defense.
Secondly, regardless of whether or not we’re at war or being plotted against by terrorists, the DOJ’s function remains the same. It’s not as if the DOJ attorneys who worked on the eligibility lawsuits were taken away from the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq or from investigating terrorist bomb plots. There are plenty of U.S. attorneys.
Thirdly, Obama is not an honorable man. We’ve already established that point.
