There are a whole bunch of reasons why he has listed so many “AKAs” for Obama. No-one really knows which name is on the Original Birth Certificate for one, and he is probably also asking for information that may be listed under a previous name. I don’t see that as “publicity seeking”, personally. (By the way - the plaintiff is the lawyer in this case).
I think you have point about the AKAs. But I have a point that the lawyer involved is a freakazoid.
He’s a 9/11 truther, for crying out loud:
