President Obama may be using his political action committee funds to stomp out eligibility lawsuits brought by Americans, as he has paid more than $1.35 million to his top lawyer since the election.

Obama for America, Obama's 2008 political campaign, merged with the Democratic National Committee in January and is now known as Organizing for America. The grassroots army that some refer to as "Obama 2.0" is still collecting financial contributions.

Federal Election Commission records for "Obama for America" show that the lobby organization has paid international law firm Perkins Coie exactly $1,352,378.95 since the 2008 election.

FEC records show the following payments made to the law firm from Oct. 16, 2008, to June 30, 2009:

Any inkling what else Perkins Coie is doing for Obama other than fighting to conceal his BC. We know for a fact that they are doing that.

Can he pay legal fees from his PAC? I thought that was supposed to be for election or donations to other politicians.

" $ 1.4 million is nothing, OJ spent 6 million. So I think we still have a long ways to go to get the truth... "

And OJ wrote a book on HOW he did it ..... isn't that the same as admiting he actually did it ?

" $ 1.4 million means this a$$hole is hiding something MAJOR BAD Ju Ju! "

We should ask ? ... what is Mr. Obama, Pelosi, Reed, the rest of the Washington Demcorat's mob, the MSM hiding ?

Not only will he be afraid of being declared ineligible for the office of the President of the United States... he would open him self , Pelosi, the rest of the Demcorat's mob, the MSM for lawsuit litigation and federal crimes prosecution for trying to usurp the US Constitution and defrauding the American public.

yet "birthers" are ridiculed as insane

Let's see. Obama spends $1.3 million on laywers. There's no evidence that a penny of that money was used to defend birther lawsuits. Then you jump to the conclusion that he's spending it on birther lawsuits.

No, there's nothing wrong with that logic. /sarcasm

First off, you ought to ping someone when you mention him in a post.

Second of all, there's no evidence that any of this money was spent on the birther lawsuits.

Yes, Obama must be paying these lawyers for witty campaign slogans and pom poms.

When we get back into power... these evilcrats will all be investigated and prosecuted. It WILL become a major issue for 2012, regardless of the usurpers past records.

If he’s paying Perkins Coie $1.3 million to hide his identity documents from court, - imagine what he’s paying the foreign governments whose intelligence services know what he is hiding

All of us would like you to tell us and list them, curiosity, or are you just not the least bit curious?

Yes. It's the same law firm his campaign uses for all routine legal matters. Most likely they're working on retainer.
