Yeah, why is Obama spending so much in legal fees to keep his birth certificate and other documents hidden? He could be covering up much more. I know that it is a felony to forge a government document (i.e. his COLB). This all needs to be subpoenaed to court.

There's a lot of people claiming he's spending upwards to a million bucks of his own money on this, but I have yet to see anything to back that up.

However....

As I understand it, a lot of these cases are now being defended by US Attorneys. So what money is being spent is public money.

So...

How is tilting at this particular windmill all that higher of a moral plane than the whack-job filing nuisance lawsuits against Sarah Palin and costing Alaska millions in legal fees?

Palin is being pursued for emotional reasons.

This birth certificate flap has no basis and is also being pursued for emotional reasons.

At what point will the BC crowd stop pissing away public funds over this?

Especially when there are much more productive battles to fight.

Just asking....
