Exactly six months ago today, I issued a challenge to those who assert that Barack Obama “has paid millions” or is “spending nearly $1 mil” in legal fees to cover up a purported “real” birth certificate. My challenge was simple: document the claim! Show me the verifiable documents that reveal the dollar amount spent by Barack Obama or his campaign on legal expenses to prevent the release of Obama’s “real” birth certificate.
It’s been six months. Many comments have been posted in response. The comments call me an “idiot,” a “blatherer” and a “douche.” They ask whether I regularly “suck blacks cocks.” But in six months’ time, not one person has successfully met the challenge.
I’m still waiting. Where is the flood of documentation to match the flood of outrage?
Frankly, I could give a shit either way, but as long as Obama plays dumb and not release the offical of his birth certificate, as is required to become President, as has every other President in the past, and as long as it remains sealed by court order in Hawaii, there will be speculations…..he should just end this stupidity and release the damn thing.
But he HAS released his birth certificate.
And I am unaware that what you say — every other President in the past has released his birth certificate — is true.
A President is not required to show a birth certificate. No other President in history has been forced to show a birth certificate.
As far as Obama’s legal expenses, he’s hardly had to pay anything. This is mostly due to the quality of the argument put forward by the opposition. And in some cases, the Plaintiff’s had to pay Obama’s expenses.
“We reported earlier on this blog that an Obama attorney (Fredric Woocher) said there is nothing to the myth that Obama is paying his lawyers millions to fight eligibility cases. Woocher’s firm represented Obama in one of the very few cases where Obama attorneys actually filed anything, this time in California. Woocher’s firm was acting pro bono. Obama was represented in Keyes v. Bowen by Aimee Dudovitz, and associate of Strumwasser and Woocher. After this case was dismissed, costs of defense were assessed against the plaintiffs. Obama’s costs were noted as $520 and those of Joe Biden who shared the same attorney were also $520.

Given the sheer number of cases, it seems plausible that the president and the government may have been forced to devote real resources to their defense. But in fact the opposite may be true: The birthers’ own copious legal bungling could wind up costing them more than Obama will have to spend defending himself.
Roger West, an assistant US attorney in the central district of California, represented the government in a lawsuit brought by Taitz on behalf of perennial presidential candidate Alan Keyes, asking the court to require that Obama prove he is a natural-born citizen. The case has dragged on for more than a year, mostly because Taitz, a graduate of an online, unaccredited law school, failed to serve the defendants. Judge David O. Carter dismissed the suit in October for a host of reasons, but Taitz has appealed. Yet West says that far from bleeding his office, Taitz and her co-counsel Gary Kreep have assembled such a weak case that he hasn’t had to spend much time on it. “I filed one motion that didn’t take too long, we’ve had two hearings and that’s it,” he says. “It’s not like we’ve devoted some sort of task force to this.”
