Yes, 3-4 is the number of motions and/or briefs Perkins Coie has filed on behalf of Obama in the eligibility suits, and there's no way that cost $3 million.
There have been over 80 eligibility law suits. Some have been active for almost three years.
Yes, but only a handful of those name Obama as a defendant. The vast majority have been suits against state government officials, in which case Obama hasn't had to spend a dime and his laywers haven't had to lift a finger.
Okay, I now have a precise number: it's three. That is, Obama's lawyers have responded to exactly three lawsuits, and all they did was file a simple motions to dismiss. The rest of the lawsuits were either defended by government officials, and hence didn't cost Obama a dime, or were dismissed out of hand before any briefs were filed. Here's my source:

Hence there's no way Obama spent anywhere close $3 million, unless you are going to argue that motions to dismiss cost a million a pop!
