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.

Those were WND’s figures and comparisons from the reference in this thread, not mine. Take it up with them if you think it’s deceptive.

You can’t assume they had equal legal fees. There’s no documentation to support that claim.

Most does not equal half no matter what the numbers are.

What exactly is your point? You don’t know how much money Obama spent on eligibility lawsuits and neither do I.

We do know that McCain and Obama both had legal expenses post election. So we can come to the logical conclusion that Obama probably did not spend all of his post-election legal expenses on eligibility lawsuits. And that was the suggestion made to me. So clearly that’s an unsubstantiated claim.
