I am sure all these attorneys representing Obama are doing it for FREE, yeah right
The question is where do birthers get the figure of $1.5M? Is someone keeping a tally?
If they're a bunch of highly partisan Democrats, then they're absolutely handling this as a pro-bono matter (to be paid off in political favors, Chrysler dealerships, etc., at some point in the future). There may be no hard evidence of legal fees due, but there's most assuredly a debt accumulating. These lawfirms may be absorbing the cost - for now - but Obama probably hopes to eventually pay them out of our pockets, not his.
If his numbers look bad as the 2012 election approaches, all sorts of interesting things could come of this.
Nope. Since last January 20th, all those lawyers representing Obama have been paid staff of the U.S. Attorney's office.
