You said that Obama had spent over a million dollars on legal fees on this issue. When I asked for a citation in support of that assertion, you responded that he had hired three different law firms.
I’m prepared to believe that he had three different firms. With suits pending in several different states, it would be standard practice to hire local counsel, rather than trying to have one firm do everything.
That doesn’t come anywhere close to establishing the total amount of the legal bill, though. My guess is that the instructions to some of the lawyers were “Keep an eye on this case and see if the legal papers submitted by our co-defendant, the Secretary of State, omit any point that we want brought to the court’s attention.” You can do that kind of stuff for way less than a million.
The last number I read said there are something like fifty lawsuits in more that twenty states.
I don’t think he can do any of it for less than one million.
The problem I have in citing a source for the law firms is that I don’t keep a folder on this information I acquire about Obama. I do remember that two of the lawfirms mentioned are liberal activist law firms, one located in Chicago - big shock there! - and the other in Washington, D.C.
I’ll make some inquiries for you. Maybe we’ll get lucky. But lawyers are showing up for these lawsuits across the nation, and they are not government lawyers.
OK. I’ve come up with one law firm so far:
“Obama’s legal team filed a motion to dismiss. One of the Lawyers filing the motion was Joe Sandler (sandler@sandlerreiff.com) of the Washington law firm Sandler, Reiff, and Young...” (the source follows).

The following excerpt refers to Obama’s Campaign organization and money:
“... interesting payments during the first three months of the year [2009], the period covered by Wednesday’s report, included $688,000 in legal fees to the firm of Bob Bauer — the top lawyer for the campaign...”
Note: this is just to one law office. (Original source was Politico).

Well, Eagle Forgotten, are you satisfied that lawyers are really working at covering up this President’s past? It is a truism, you know, that people with something to hide go to great lengths to do so. Those who don’t, well, they let it all hang out.
