> in fact, its called a logical fallacy. LOL ... more Middle School debate terms. A more apt term would call it an argumentum ad logicam. As such, it doesn't mean it's not far from reality. In fact, when you tally multiple attorneys on Obama's legal team, droves of cute legal assistants, and a sh*t-load of reimbursables (First Class air travel, conference calls, copies, postage, etc), $2M is likely an under-estimate. Remember, approximately 60 lawsuits: some defeated, many in Appeal. And defending a president (or candidate) doesn't come cheap. At first, the Obama Campaign paid for the lawyers, up until about August 2008 when he won the DNC nomination. Then, the DNC paid the retainer until about November 2008, when he became the (de-facto) President-elect. Since then, YOU & I have been picking up the tab from the US Attorneys Office and any other outsourcing, defending the "Office of the President of the United States." And guess what — the hourly rate for these Armani-clad Attorneys is NOT a measly $150/hr in these 60 lawsuits ... and you can bet they double-bill!
The argumentum ad antiquitatem seems to be that a candidate in doubt need not show his so-called birth certificate in court once he's POTUS because NO OTHER president has had to do so. But Obama is the POTUS now, and no president's Eligibility has EVER been questioned by the Public as much as Barack Hussein Obama's. An argumentum ad populum and argumentum ad numerum does not an Eligible President make, and yet that's EXACTLY what happened! Was Obama's Eligibility vetted ... REALLY?! Of course not! ONLY the FactCheck WonderTwins saw the so-called "proof".
