President Obama has paid nearly $1.7 million to his top eligibility lawyer since the election.
Can anyone explain why they wouldn't mention the full 2.6 million in the headline (and I mean the original authors at WND, not TheAmused who only copied it)?
In total, Obama has paid Perkins Coie, a single law firm, $2.6 million since he announced his campaign for presidency.

And where is the proof that Obama has spent 1.7-2.6 million on this? The source is always WND; no better than Weekly World News.
It is quite understandable that lawyers who have to deal with these stupid cases would want to be paid. It does not mean Obama is covering up his birthplace. Funny how WND is the only "media outlet" to ever report on this nonsense.edit on 24-1-2011 by InvisibleAlbatross because: (no reason given)
