Obama for America spends nearly $9.5 million in the first three months of this year.
###
If you glanced at the expense side of the report filed Wednesday night by President Obama's campaign committee, you might be excused for thinking there was a presidential election afoot.
Obama for America, the fundraising juggernaut that powered Obama's ascent to the presidency, spent nearly $9.5 million in the first three months of this year, including $684,000 on telemarketing and print and online advertising, $994,000 on event staging and $310,000 on payroll and taxes.
To be sure, some of the payments stem from bills accrued in early January — or even the end of last year — before Obama took the oath of office, and others come from normal shut-down costs. Plus the campaign committee is no longer raising money; it came into the year with $18.3 million in the bank and finished the first quarter with $10 million on hand.
Yet the report shows that Obama's campaign continued to be of use well after Election Day and suggests it still maintains some semblance of operational capacity.
Last month alone, it paid $74,000 in payroll, $23,000 for rent, $10,000 for polling and $6,400 for travel.
Other interesting payments during the first three months of the year, the period covered by Wednesday's report, included $688,000 in legal fees to the firm of Bob Bauer — the top lawyer for the campaign, the Democratic National Committee, the Obama political group Organizing for America, and the Obama family — and $6,400 to a firm founded by Joe Biden's son, Hunter Biden.
The report also shows that Obama for America contributed $4 million to the DNC in a pair of contributions in February and March, and refunded $16,700 in contributions to individual donors.
At the end of last month, it was carrying $329,000 in debt, including $15,300 to the former firm of White House political guru David Axelrod.
And we all know he has never actually stopped campaigning, just like one of his admirers mentioned he is a student of history, Now do I actually need to add a sarcasm tag? I stayed away from any and all mentions of how much he has spent on legal fees since I have a lil much on my own plate at the moment fighting the ignorance in the state of ID but we all know lawyers don’t come cheap!
Good .. ping us ........ thanks.

You’re prominently mentioned in this piece in Front Page Mag article.
What in the world are you talking about?
Obama is meeting with his cabinet to cut 100 million out of budget... Seems to me the first thing he should do is show his birth certificate and end all the money being spend on legal fees......................
Is the Obama administration working on a forged long-form Birth Certificate as we speak?

Hat-tip to Probie who gives this information:
Don’t know about 9/11 conspiracy, but do know from DC source that an Administration team is working on perfecting a forgery of the long-form birth certificate. They plan on presenting it in a a month or so. The source is FBI agent who has drinking buddy from University of Illinois now in the Administration. Its second hand, but the source is supposed to be solid.
They have already prepared the forgery with special paper and ink. The document was printed on a fully functional 1960 Heidelberger printing press located at a print museum in Toronto. Access was arranged by a trustee of the museum who is connected to a large Canadian banking/investment firm with major US interests.
The blanks in the forged form were filled in with an old Underwood Manual typewriter bought at an estate sale in Skokie, IL. The raised seal was the easiest piece to fake, since you can by a special order corporate seal from just about any online office supply store.
The only reason they haven’t rolled out the foregery yet is that it is “seasoning” under mild UV light and a back and forth rotation between between a humidifier and a sauna. Get ready....one to two months tops.
I also said they’d have to get a 1960s Printing Press, and indeed, by this information, looks like they found one.
The banking connection is disturbing too, gives more credibility to this also. The details here are solid.

Thank you SO MUCH! A lot of stuff going on at home right now (including a sick kitty I’ve got to take to the vet in like 5 minutes).
I’ll get back to this later this afternoon if I am able...
Thank you SO MUCH. I was unable to spend ‘focused’ time on these things yesterday due to some stuff going on at home (including a sick kitty), so I GREATLY appreciate your picking up the ball and running with it — especially on top of ALL the work you have ALREADY done for all of us!
THANK YOU, Dr. Polarik! :)
Thanks. . .but I’d rather not be a part of your ping list.
Cheers.
