Money To Burn on the Bum
By Ron Polarik, PhD
In a report filed Wednesday, April 15, Obama for America, the group that collected over $850 million in campaign contributions for Obama, spent nearly $9.5 million in the first three months of this year, including included $688,000 in legal fees to the firm of Robert J Bauer.
Bauer is the same attorney who send a letter to attorney John Hemenway threatening him with sanctions, including costs, expenses, and attorney’s fees, if he did not withdraw his appeal on Hollister v. Soetoro, No. 08-2254. citing the disgusting comments made by Judge Robertson that Obama's eligibility had been "blogged, texted, twittered, and otherwise massaged by America's vigilant citizenry."
Last year, the entire media crucified Sarah Palin and the Republican party for spending $150,000 on the VP candidate's wardrobe which is less than the Obama Campaign spent on credit card fees in February and March of THIS YEAR. Yet, the most egregious spending of campaign finances has to be the $688k in legal fees to attorney Bob Bauer for abusing the court system and threatening citizens for exercizing their Constitution rights. As first published in World Net Daily, here is a copy of the letter sent by Obama's attorney, Robert Bauer, to John Hememway.
The American public is totally unaware of these violations of the Constitution and campaign financing laws, the misuse of campaign contributions and the failure to identify Obama's donors, as well as the abuse of power by Obama and his legal bullies. The media refuse to cover these issues as they continue to enable a usurper, who knows that he is not a natural-born US citizen or even a naturalized citizen, to illgally occupy the office of President.
We are witnessing massive fraud on a national level where Obama's aplogists in the media and the American public are willing participants.

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.

This certainly puts paid to those who questioned the statement that Obama spend hundreds of thousands on attorneys’ fees to avoid showing his birth certificate.
The article says this year, no mention of 2007 and 2008. This is the craziest thing I think I have ever seen. So
much money spent. for this. I guess Soros thinks it is worth it. No wonder Obama is working overtime to get his communist agenda in place for our country. He has to show he is worth every RED cent this is costing.

Under ordinary circumstances, the Obama legitimacy question would be an issue journalists would stampede to jump on. But Obama is their boy. They helped build him and get him elected. If they were to successfully expose him now they would also expose their own complicity and moral negligence.
Obama may have to spend cover up money for the rest of his life but I hope he is successfully outed before his term is up.

What would the democrat party be without money. Probably out of office. Shysters, Liars, cheats and theives and the Lemmings buy it hook line and sinker.

In the game of Pay to Play, Soros has bought the media, the ACLU and the Congress off, the soutpiel sat there and took the diatribe from Ortega as if he were being praised, it's an insult to all Americans. He is abusing his status as surely as Murtha did to avoid investigation and prosecution.

Thanks for reminding me Jack, I think obama should have this 'Soutpiel' as his new name.
The book Chavez gave the Soutpiel, was about how the Europeans and Americans Abused Latin America. There was the Spanish conquest down there, Columbus touch there but when did America ever try to Colonize latin America. From my history we have always bailed their asses out when ever there was a problem and that was usually Pro bono.

Tom, good point, I agree, he probably will
have to keep paying lawyers about this from
now on.

Mark,hahaha yes they need money for all legal
bills to get their people off.Our side is
not perfect, but in comparison the difference
is huge in who is the most corrupt.

Jack, your right, oh how I wish there was NO
Soros. He really is buying our country and
he wants to destroy it. I really feel sick
when I think of how he is doing this.
