The big picture is always composed of smaller details. One of those details is the alleged amount of money spent defending against Birther cases. That's a particular detail that other posters were relying upon in making their arguments.
I'll happily move along to discussing the prudence of defending against Birther cases if you'll first admit that 'Obama paid Perkins Coie $2 million to fight the release of records' is a bogus claim totally unsupported by a close examination of the actual court filings made by Perkins Coie attorneys, as I've illustrated.
You didn’t exactly disprove the $2 million claim as your example only covered two months. I don’t recall anyone claiming that Obama had spent $2 million defending against eligibility cases at the end of 2008. I don’t mind admitting that we don’t know exactly how much has been spent, but the bigger point is that the allegedly transparent Obama shouldn’t be fighting these cases if he could prove himself to be a natural born citizen.
