By "most" you mean half? $2.3m since January 2007. $1.3m from October 2008 to June 2009. In comparison, McCain has spent $1.4m from January 2007 to June 2009. If McCain has legal expenses from November 2008 to June 2009, it would be logical to assume that Obama has too, right? No, let's be emotional and assume that while McCain had campaign-related legal expenses after the election Obama could have ONLY eligibility lawsuit expenses. And let's ignore the fact that eligibility lawsuits filed since the election were handled by DOJ with taxpayer money.
People complain about the DOJ defending Obama with taxpayer money since the election and at the same time make the accusation that his legal expenses since the election were eligibility-related.
You do not answer the question. What campaign expenses has Obama had since the election? You claim that they are substantial. So what are they?
Your report of the expenditures shows that Obama has spent nearly as much since the election as McCain spent from the beginning of the election cycle. You don’t break down McCain’t post-election legal fees as you do Obama’s, so that is hardly a ‘comparison.’
Incurring legal fees of $1M over 22 months thru the election, and $1.3 over 8 months following the election is, at a minimum, interesting. How much of McCain’t $1.3M was post-election?
But let’s assume both had equal legal expenses for the primaries and general election, and post-election cleanup. Are you saying Obama expended only $900,000 on eligibility suits thru June 2009 for his private attorneys, compared to the $1.4 some have suggested?
The mere “half” you seem to speak of, incurred in a few short months, for private attorneys only, should be considered significant. I don’t know that you’re being emotional so much as deceptive by comparing apples and oranges.
Who’s “Water” are you carrying???
