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.

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

However, if you wish to assert that it's all being spent on birther lawsuits, then the burden of proof is on you.

"Robert Bauer of Perkins Coie – top lawyer for Obama, Obama's presidential campaign, the Democratic National Committee and Obama's Organizing for America – is the same Washington, D.C., lawyer defending President Obama in lawsuits challenging his eligibility to be president."

Here you go Uncuriosity. Bauer defends Obama in natural born citizen and birth certificate lawsuits and money exchanges hands.

I'd say Obama is paying Perkins of Coie for services rendered as pointed out above.
